List of Frost Suceptable Native Species
1 FROST HARDINESS Some people have attempted to make a rudimentary assessment of frost hardy species as illustrated in the table below. Following the severe frosts of 27-7-07, Initial observations are on the foliage “burn” and it remains to be seen whether the stems/trunks die or merely re-shoot.

United States Department of Agriculture
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE INVENTORY No. 79 Washington, D. C. T Issued March, 1927 SEEDS AND PLANTS IMPORTED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRO- DUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, DURING THE PERIOD FROM APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30,1924 (S. P. I. NOS. 58931 TO 60956) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names _ 74 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT During the period covered by this, the seventy-ninth, Inventory of Seeds and Plants Imported, the actual number of introductions was much greater than for any similar period in the past. This was due largely to the fact that there were four agricultural exploring expeditions in the field in the latter part of 1923 and early in 1924, and the combined efforts of these in obtaining plant material were unusually successful. Working as a collaborator of this office, under the direction of the National Geographic Society of Washington, D. C, Joseph L. Rock continued to carry on botanical explorations in the Province of Yunnan, southwestern China, from which region he has sent so much of interest during the preceding few years. The collections made by Mr. Rock, which arrived in Washington in the spring of 1924, were generally similar to those made previously in the same region, except that a remarkable series of rhododendrons, numbering nearly 500 different species, many as yet unidentified, was included. Many of these rhododendrons, as well as the primroses, delphiniums, gentians, and barberries obtained by Mr. Rock, promise to be valuable ornamentals for parts of the United States with climatic conditions generally similar to those of Yunnan. -
In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Potential of Sterculia Urens Roxb
Shukla et al. Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2020) 6:45 Future Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s43094-020-00063-9 Pharmaceutical Sciences RESEARCH Open Access In vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Sterculia urens Roxb. root extract and its bioactive phytoconstituents evaluation Anjali Shukla, Krishna Desai and Nainesh Modi* Abstract Background: The plant Sterculia urens Roxb. of Malvaceae family is comparatively understudied. Genus Sterculia is widely recognized by its phytomedicinal and ethnomedicinal attributes. The study is aimed to evaluate the qualitative analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thin layer chromatography (TLC), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the crude hydro-methanolic extract of S. urens root. Results: The antioxidant activity, antimicrobial assay for clinical isolates, and TPC were measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, agar well diffusion method, and Folin–Ciocalteu assay respectively. Hydro- methanolic extract confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, steroids, and glycosides as primary and secondary metabolites, which was later confirmed by TLC. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of alkanes, alkenes, alkyl halides, halogen compounds, primary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, aldehyde, aromatic amine, secondary amines, amide group, and carboxylic acid. The crude extract was composed of a significant quantity of total phenolic content with 705 ± 0.40 mg GAE/g. Synergistically, the IC50 value of the crude extract and ascorbic acid was found to be 27.055 μg/ml and 37.244 μg/ml, respectively, which suggests that root extract possesses strong antioxidant properties. The majority of the microbial strains exhibited varying degrees of sensitivity to the root extract with a notable inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,andPenicillium glaucum. -

Plant Archives Vol. 14 No. 1, 2014 pp. 87-96 ISSN 0972-5210 AN UPDATED ACCOUNT OF THE NAME CHANGES OF THE DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE VOL: I (1934- 36) & VOL: II (1938) OF “FLORA OF ASSAM” Rajib Lochan Borah Department of Botany, D.H.S.K. College, Dibrugarh - 786 001 (Assam), India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Changes in botanical names of flowering plants are an issue which comes up from time to time. While there are valid scientific reasons for such changes, it also creates some difficulties to the floristic workers in the preparation of a new flora. Further, all the important monumental floras of the world have most of the plants included in their old names, which are now regarded as synonyms. In north east India, “Flora of Assam” is an important flora as it includes result of pioneering floristic work on Angiosperms & Gymnosperms in the region. But, in the study of this flora, the same problems of name changes appear before the new researchers. Therefore, an attempt is made here to prepare an updated account of the new names against their old counterpts of the plants included in the first two volumes of the flora, on the basis of recent standard taxonomic literatures. In this, the unresolved & controversial names are not touched & only the confirmed ones are taken into account. In the process new names of 470 (four hundred & seventy) dicotyledonous plant species included in the concerned flora are found out. Key words : Name changes, Flora of Assam, Dicotyledonus plants, floristic works. -

Chapter 6 ENUMERATION
Chapter 6 ENUMERATION . ENUMERATION The spermatophytic plants with their accepted names as per The Plant List [http://www.theplantlist.org/ ], through proper taxonomic treatments of recorded species and infra-specific taxa, collected from Gorumara National Park has been arranged in compliance with the presently accepted APG-III (Chase & Reveal, 2009) system of classification. Further, for better convenience the presentation of each species in the enumeration the genera and species under the families are arranged in alphabetical order. In case of Gymnosperms, four families with their genera and species also arranged in alphabetical order. The following sequence of enumeration is taken into consideration while enumerating each identified plants. (a) Accepted name, (b) Basionym if any, (c) Synonyms if any, (d) Homonym if any, (e) Vernacular name if any, (f) Description, (g) Flowering and fruiting periods, (h) Specimen cited, (i) Local distribution, and (j) General distribution. Each individual taxon is being treated here with the protologue at first along with the author citation and then referring the available important references for overall and/or adjacent floras and taxonomic treatments.

MEA CULPA: My apol~gi~sonce again for a belated newsletter. This time I'll blame the weather ; a year of drought until Feb. 28th.) then a month of rain every day. As I'm not on town (reticulated) water, and my creek dried up Tor the second time in 13 years, watering involved rationing small amounts of bought (by the truckload) water to my 500-odd pots {I'm a compulsive propagator}. Then the rain brought up 2 years supply of weeds. And then I lost the first version of this 4 newsletter when my computer's hard disc died. MEMBERSHIP: I'm not sure whether some people want to be in this study group. If I do know, a tick will follow the questio mark on the line below: 9- P - - J If there is no tick, please advise if you want to be in' the group. Our financial year ends June 30th. Sub remains at $5. Next newsletter should be in early July. Welcome to new Qld. members Merv Hodqe, Albert Grilanc, Jan Glazebrook, Dennis Cox, & Joy & Fred McKew. All have joined only recently, so their subs I'll take as paid for '94-'95. BRACHYCHITON DISTRIBUTION MAPS: I have omitted these for those people who I know have copies of Guymer's article from which they were taken. t LIVING PLANT COLLECTION: As usual, a month of hot humidity killed all my Thomasias save one small-leaved species, which looks fine.
