SYTSMA1,*, DANIEL SPALINK1 and BRENT BERGER2 1Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA 2Department of Biological Sciences, St. John’s University, Queens, NY 11439, USA Received 26 November 2013; revised 23 February 2014; accepted for publication 24 February 2014 We re-examined the recent study by Palazzesi et al., (2012) published in the Biological Journal of the Linnean Society (107: 67–85), that presented the historical diversification of Geraniales using BEAST analysis of the plastid spacer trnL–F and of the non-coding nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS). Their study presented a set of new fossils within the order, generated a chronogram for Geraniales and other rosid orders using fossil-based priors on five nodes, demonstrated an Eocene radiation of Geraniales (and other rosid orders), and argued for more recent (Pliocene–Pleistocene) and climate-linked diversification of genera in the five recognized families relative to previous studies. As a result of very young ages for the crown of Geraniales and other rosid orders, unusual relationships of Geraniales to other rosids, and apparent nucleotide substitution saturation of the two gene regions, we conducted a broad series of BEAST analyses that incorporated additional rosid fossil priors, used more accepted rosid ordinal -

Stem and Leaf Anatomy of Searsia Glutinosa Subsp Abyssinica ( Synonym: Rhus Abyssinica) ( Anacaridaceae) from Erkwit, Sudan
EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH Vol. VI, Issue 11/ February 2019 Impact Factor: 3.4546 (UIF) ISSN 2286-4822 DRJI Value: 5.9 (B+) www.euacademic.org Stem and Leaf Anatomy of Searsia glutinosa subsp abyssinica ( synonym: Rhus abyssinica) ( Anacaridaceae) from Erkwit, Sudan IKRAM MADANI1 AMIR FAROUK Department of Botany, Faculty of Science University of Khartoum, Sudan Abstract In this paper the anatomy of Searsia glutinosa subsp abyssinica from the family Anacardiaceae was studied. Plant specimens were collected from its natural habitat in Erkwit area in the Red sea state, Sudan. Fresh samples of stem and leaf parts were preserved using a fixative solution containing formalin, acetic acid, and alcohol. Transverse sections of stem and leaf were prepared using standard sectioning technique. Staining was done using Haematoxilin mier´s stain. General and characteristic features of the stem and leaf were studied under the light microscope and documented by coloured photographs. Results of this study revealed that some features are of taxonomic value such as the shape and position of the resin canals, the shape of the ducts Lumen, and types and distribution of hairs and glands. The resin canals are located in the past fibers of the vascular bundles and in the pith. Short- stalked glandular hairs are observed in lower surface of the leaves near the midrib. Stem possesses equally active cambium.

Kirstenbosch NBG List of Plants That Provide Food for Honey Bees
Indigenous South African Plants that Provide Food for Honey Bees Honey bees feed on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from a wide variety of flowering plants. While the honey bee forages for nectar and pollen, it transfers pollen from one flower to another, providing the service of pollination, which allows the plant to reproduce. However, bees don’t pollinate all flowers that they visit. This list is based on observations of bees visiting flowers in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and on a variety of references, in particular the following: Plant of the Week articles on www.PlantZAfrica.com Johannsmeier, M.F. 2005. Beeplants of the South-Western Cape, Nectar and pollen sources of honeybees (revised and expanded). Plant Protection Research Institute Handbook No. 17.

DNA Barcoding and Phylogenetic Analysis of Searsia
Poster ID : 828 DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis of Searsia Makhado Tshililo, Michelle van der Bank and Sanele N. S. Shiba The African Centre for DNA Barcoding (ACDB), Department of Botany & Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, South Africa ABSTRACT Background. The family Anacardiaceae includes approximately 800 species in 82 genera. Rhus L. is the largest and most widely distributed genus in Anacardiaceae. However, controversy has surrounded the delimitation of the genus. Searsia F.A. Barkley was originally included into the Rhus complex but recent molecular studies have separated it along with six other genera from the Rhus complex and recognised them as separate genera. The genus Searsia, which is the focus of the current study, is represented by approximately 120 species and is widely distributed in Africa with only three species currently known from Asia. Here we include an extensive sampling and molecular analyses of Searsia species across its distribution range in Africa to access the relationships within the genus. Results. In total 205 taxa, representing 35 species of Searsia, were sequenced for the core barcoding regions (matK and rbcLa) along with additional markers, i.e. ITS, ETS, trnL-F and ndhF. Significance. This study contributes a first large sampling of Searsia. An infrageneric classification for the genus will be presented.
