A LIST of PLANT SPECIES FOUND on the KAFUE FLATS Mike Bingham August 2015 A LIST OF PLANT SPECIES FOUND ON THE KAFUE FLATS Mike Bingham August 2015 Key to Sources MAZ Fanshawe: Veg of Mazabuka Distr. NAM Fanshawe: Veg of Namwala Distr. HvR H Janse van Rensburg GE Gerard Ellenbroek ER Edward Robinson MB Mike Bingham AA Andrew Angus GH Geoffrey Howard LSR Van Lavieren, Sayer & Rees Note: Circumscription of the Kafue Flats area varies so that it is impossible to separate what strictly belongs to the Flats from the Kafue Flats catchment. Indeed, Mazabuka District even extends into the Zambezi Valley. The plant list in Douthwaite and van Lavieren (1977) 'A description of the vegetation of Lochinvar National Park Zambia' is the only one which focuses on a small part of the Flats, which makes it more authentic.

  • African Traditional Plant Knowledge in the Circum-Caribbean Region
    Journal of Ethnobiology 23(2): 167-185 Fall/Winter 2003 AFRICAN TRADITIONAL PLANT KNOWLEDGE IN THE CIRCUM-CARIBBEAN REGION JUDITH A. CARNEY Department of Geography, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA 90095 ABSTRACT.—The African diaspora to the Americas was one of plants as well as people. European slavers provisioned their human cargoes with African and other Old World useful plants, which enabled their enslaved work force and free ma- roons to establish them in their gardens. Africans were additionally familiar with many Asian plants from earlier crop exchanges with the Indian subcontinent. Their efforts established these plants in the contemporary Caribbean plant corpus. The recognition of pantropical genera of value for food, medicine, and in the practice of syncretic religions also appears to have played an important role in survival, as they share similar uses among black populations in the Caribbean as well as tropical Africa. This paper, which focuses on the plants of the Old World tropics that became established with slavery in the Caribbean, seeks to illuminate the botanical legacy of Africans in the circum-Caribbean region. Key words: African diaspora, Caribbean, ethnobotany, slaves, plant introductions. RESUME.—La diaspora africaine aux Ameriques ne s'est pas limitee aux person- nes, elle a egalement affecte les plantes. Les traiteurs d'esclaves ajoutaient a leur cargaison humaine des plantes exploitables dAfrique et du vieux monde pour les faire cultiver dans leurs jardins par les esclaves ou les marrons libres. En outre les Africains connaissaient beaucoup de plantes dAsie grace a de precedents echanges de cultures avec le sous-continent indien.

  • Parallel Loss of Introns in the ABCB1 Gene in Angiosperms Rajiv K
    Parvathaneni et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2017) 17:238 DOI 10.1186/s12862-017-1077-x RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Parallel loss of introns in the ABCB1 gene in angiosperms Rajiv K. Parvathaneni1,5†, Victoria L. DeLeo2,6†, John J. Spiekerman3, Debkanta Chakraborty4 and Katrien M. Devos1,3,4* Abstract Background: The presence of non-coding introns is a characteristic feature of most eukaryotic genes. While the size of the introns, number of introns per gene and the number of intron-containing genes can vary greatly between sequenced eukaryotic genomes, the structure of a gene with reference to intron presence and positions is typically conserved in closely related species. Unexpectedly, the ABCB1 (ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily B Member 1) gene which encodes a P-glycoprotein and underlies dwarfing traits in maize (br2), sorghum (dw3) and pearl millet (d2) displayed considerable variation in intron composition. Results: An analysis of the ABCB1 genestructurein80angiospermsrevealedthatthenumberofintrons ranged from one to nine. All introns in ABCB1 underwent either a one-time loss (single loss in one lineage/ species) or multiple independent losses (parallel loss in two or more lineages/species) with the majority of losses occurring within the grass family. In contrast, the structure of the closest homolog to ABCB1, ABCB19, remained constant in the majority of angiosperms analyzed. Using known phylogenetic relationships within the grasses, we determined the ancestral branch-points where the losses occurred. Intron 7, the longest intron, was lost in only a single species, Mimulus guttatus, following duplication of ABCB1. Semiquantitative PCR showed that the M. guttatus ABCB1 gene copy without intron 7 had significantly lower transcript levels than the gene copy with intron 7.

  • PESTICIDAL PLANT LEAFLET Euphorbia Tirucalli
    PESTICIDAL PLANT LEAFLET Euphorbia tirucalli ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS Taxonomy and nomenclature Distribution and habitat Family: Euphorbiaceae E. tirucalli is the most widespread of all the Euphorbia Vernacular/ common names : species. It is native in Angola, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, (English): Firesticks plants, Naked lady, Pencil tree, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Senegal, Sudan, Tanzania, Milk bush Uganda, and Zanzibar and can survive in a wide range (Maa): Oloilei of habitats. It can grow in tropical arid areas with low (Kipsigis): Lechuangit rainfall, on poor eroded soils, saline soils and high (Kamba): Ndau altitudes up to 2000 m but cannot survive frost. It grows (Swahili): Mtupa mwitu, Mwasi, Utupa wild, often in abandoned sites of homesteads. In Kenya for instance, it is found in Ruaka on the highway to Thikka and in Jilore forest station in Kilifi, in Baringo, Sigor, Makueni and Kitui. Uses Pesticidal uses - The plant’s latex can be used against aphids, mosquitoes, some bacteria and molluscs. However it is also toxic, due to phorbol based diterpenoids causing severe irritation from contact, emesis and purgation from ingestion. Used as a hunter’s tool in local fishing and arrow poisoning in tropical Africa. Dose-dependant latex toxicity to parasitic nematodes such as Haplolaimus indicus, Helicolylenchus indicus and Tylenchus filiformis in vitro. Medicinal uses - In east Africa, latex used against sexual impotence, warts, epilepsy, toothache, hemorrhoids, snake bites, extraction of ecto-parasites and cough. In Malaysia, a poultice of roots and stems can be applied to nose ulceration, haemorrhoids and swellings. In India, it is a remedy for spleen enlargement, asthma, dropsy, leprosy, biliousness, leucorrhea, dyspepsia, jaundice, colic, tumours and bladder stones.

  • Euphorbiaceae) XI
    On the Active Principles of the Spurge Family (Euphorbiaceae) XI. [1] The Skin Irritant and Tumor Promoting Diterpene Esters of Euphorbia tirucalli L. Originating from South Africa G. Fürstenberger* and E. Hecker Institut für Biochemie, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, D-6900 Heidelberg, Bundesrepublik Deutschland Z. Naturforsch. 40c, 631—646 (1985); received April 19, 1985 Skin Irritation, 4-Deoxyphorbol, Cocarcinogenesis, Tumor Promoters, Occupational Cancer The irritant and tumor-promoting constituents of latex of Euphorbia tirucalli L. originating from South Africa were isolated. They were identified as irritant ingenane and tigliane type diterpene esters derived from unsaturated aliphatic acids and acetic acid and the polyfunctional diterpene parent alcohols 4-deoxyphorbol, phorbol and ingenol, respectively. The irritant and tumor-promoting esters of 4-deoxyphorbol are predominant and were fully characterized chemically and biologically. They are positionally isomeric 12,13-acylates, acetates e.g. Euphorbiafactors Ti,—Ti4. As acyl groups they carry homologous, highly unsaturated alipha­ tic acids of the general structure CH3 — (CH2)m — (CH = CH)„ — COOH (m = 2,4; « = 1,2, 3,4,5; N = 2n + m + 2). Corresponding diesters of 4-deoxy-4a-phorbol are also present which are biologi­ cally inactive. Comparison of structures and biological activities of 12,13-diesters of 4-deoxyphor- bol indicates that — for a distinct total number of C-atoms (N) in the acyl moiety — an increasing number of conjugated double bonds (n) may increase the irritant but decrease the tumor-promot­ ing activity. Replacement of the hydroxyl function at C-4 (phorbol-12,13-diesters) by hydrogen (corresponding 4-deoxyphorbol-12,13-diesters) does not essentially alter biological activities.

XLIX/2019 STRUCTURAL ANATOMICAL ASPECTS OF TWO EUPHORBIA (EUPHORBIACEAE JUSS.) SPECIES LEAVES DAN RĂZVAN POPOVICIU, RODICA BERCU Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences,”Ovidius” University, Constantza University Alley, No. 1, B, 900470, Constantza E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The paper presents a study concerning the leaf structure (petiole, as the case) and blade of two Euphorbia species belonging to Euphorbiaceae family: Euphorbia trigona Mill., and E. tirucallli L. In literature is little information concerning the leaf petiole or blade anatomy of species of Euphorbia genus in general and concerning these two species in particular. The petiole of Euphorbia trigona possesses one epidermis cells which are more or less rounded in shape, covered by a thin cuticle. The vascular system of the petiole is represented by three closed–collateral vascular bundles. Anatomically, the leaves blade of the studied species are heterogenous and amphistomatic with lacticifers especially presented to the midrib zone, more abundant în Euphorbia tirucalli. The midrib vascular system is more developed in Euphorbia tirucalli than E. trigona. Keywords: anatomy, leaf, mesophyll, laticifers, Euphorbia INTRODUCTION a bushy harvested port, with the The studied species belong to appearance of green rods and thick Euphorbiaceae family, one of the branches as a pencil (hence the largest in the plant world, sometimes popular name of the plant). Leaves are known as spurges. It includes around rare and small (Fig. 1, A). It develops 300 genera and 7,700 species, mainly well in hydroculture’s (Burger and Huft, non-succulent herbs, shrubs and trees 1995).

    Plant communities, wetlands and landscapes of the Parque Nacional de Banhine, Moçambique M. STALMANS and M. WISHART Stalmans, M. and M. Wishart. 2005. Plant communities, wetlands and landscapes of the Parque Nacional de Banhine, Moçambique. Koedoe 48(2): 43–58. Pretoria. ISSN 0075- 6458. The Parque Nacional de Banhine (Banhine National Park) was proclaimed during 1972. It covers 600 000 ha in Moçambique to the east of the Limpopo River. Until recently, this park, originally and popularly known as the ‘Serengeti of Moçambique’, was char- acterised by neglect and illegal hunting that caused the demise of most of its large wildlife. New initiatives aimed at rehabilitating the park have been launched within the scope of the Greater Limpopo Transfrontier Park. A vegetation map was required as input to its management plan. The major objectives of the study were firstly to under- stand the environmental determinants of the vegetation, secondly to identify and describe individual plant communities in terms of species composition and structure and thirdly to delineate landscapes in terms of their plant community and wetland make-up, environmental determinants and distribution. A combination of fieldwork and analysis of LANDSAT satellite imagery was used. A total of 115 sample plots were surveyed. Another 222 sample points were briefly assessed from the air to establish the extent of the different landscapes. The ordination results clearly indicate the overriding impor- tance of moisture availability in determining vegetation composition in the Parque Nacional de Banhine. Eleven distinct plant communities were recognised. They are described in terms of their structure, composition and distribution. These plant commu- nities have strong affinities to a number of communities found in the Limpopo Nation- al Park to the west.
