KAKADU NATIONAL PARK - APPROVED PLANT LIST Kakadu National Park is a ‘Commonwealth reserve’ under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) and is inscribed on the World Heritage List for outstanding cultural and natural values. As part of Kakadu National Park, the use and development of the Town of Jabiru must not be detrimental to the values of the park. To protect Kakadu’s unique environment, Regulations 12.20 and 12.21 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulations 2000 require that plants are not brought into Jabiru and cultivated or propagated unless they are included on the Approved Plant List. Approved plant species include a plant species that is: a) A native species of Kakadu National Park; or b) Specified on the Approved Plant List maintained by the Director of National Parks. All plants brought into Jabiru for domestic or commercial area gardens should be an approved plant species. The preferred option is to use species that are native to Kakadu. For information on these species please refer to the book Native Plants for Top End Gardens (2007 Smith). The approved plant species that are non-indigenous to Kakadu are those that are understood to not have the potential to spread into the park. The approved non-indigenous species may not necessarily be well-suited to the growing conditions in Jabiru. By using only approved plant species you will help to avoid potential biosecurity threats to the environmental values of Kakadu National Park. Please be aware that any gardening material brought into Jabiru provides an entry pathway for exotic ants, myrtle rust and other plant viruses and pathogens into the park. All plants brought into the park should be healthy and treated with insecticide 24 hours before entry into the park. If you do find ants in a new pot plant from outside the park please contact Park Headquarters on phone 08 8938 1100. Further information on bringing plants, animals and other materials into the park is available in Section 10.13 of the KNP Management Plan 2016-2026 http://www.environment.gov.au/resource/kakadu-national-park-management-plan-2016-2026 Updated April 2019 Page 1 of 5 Kakadu National Park Approved Plant List 1.

Aroids range from tiny floating aquatic plants to forest climbers. Many are cultivated for their ornamental flowers or foliage and others for their food value. Present article critically reviews the growth conditions of Epipremnum aureum (Linden and Andre) Bunting with special emphasis on their ethnomedicinal uses and pharmacological activities, beneficial to both human and the environment. In this article, we review the origin, distribution, brief morphological characters, medicinal and pharmacological properties of Epipremnum aureum, commonly known as ornamental plant having indoor air pollution removing capacity. There are very few reports to the medicinal properties of E. aureum. In our investigation, it has been found that each part of this plant possesses antibacterial, anti-termite and antioxidant properties. However, apart from these it can also turn out to be anti-malarial, anti- cancerous, anti-tuberculosis, anti-arthritis and wound healing etc which are a severe international problem. In the present study, details about the pharmacological actions of medicinal plant E. aureum (Linden and Andre) Bunting and Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl.

Biodiversitas 19: 140-152. Bogor Botanic Gardens is an ex-situ conservation centre, covering an area of 87 ha, with 12,376 plant specimens, collected from Indonesia and other tropical countries throughout the world. One of the richest collections in the Gardens comprises members of the aroid family (Araceae). The aroids are planted in several garden beds as well as in the nursery. They have been collected from the time of the Dutch era until now. These collections were obtained from botanical explorations throughout the forests of Indonesia and through seed exchange with botanic gardens around the world. Several of the Bogor aroid collections represent ‘living types’, such as Scindapsus splendidus Alderw., Scindapsus mamilliferus Alderw. and Epipremnum falcifolium Engl. These have survived in the garden from the time of their collection up until the present day. There are many aroid collections in the Gardens that have potentialities not widely recognised. The aim of this study is to reveal the diversity of aroids species in the Bogor Botanic Gardens, their scientific value, their conservation status, and their potential as ornamental plants, medicinal plants and food.
  • A Review of Alocasia (Araceae: Colocasieae) for Thailand Including a Novel Species and New Species Records from South-West Thailand

    A Review of Alocasia (Araceae: Colocasieae) for Thailand Including a Novel Species and New Species Records from South-West Thailand

    THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 36: 1–17. 2008. A review of Alocasia (Araceae: Colocasieae) for Thailand including a novel species and new species records from South-West Thailand PETER C. BOYCE* ABSTRACT. A review of Alocasia in Thailand is presented. One new species (A. hypoleuca) and three new records (A. acuminata, A. hypnosa & A. perakensis) are reported. A key to Alocasia in Thailand is presented and the new species is illustrated. INTRODUCTION Alocasia is a genus of in excess of 100 species of herbaceous, laticiferous, diminutive to gigantic, usually robust herbs. The genus has recently been revised for New Guinea (Hay, 1990), Australasia (Hay & Wise, 1991), West Malesia and Sulawesi (Hay, 1998), the Philippines (Hay, 1999) while post main-treatment novelties have been described for New Guinea (Hay, 1994) Borneo (Hay, Boyce & Wong, 1997; Hay, 2000; Boyce, 2007) & Sulawesi (Yuzammi & Hay, 1998). Currently the genus is least well understood in the trans-Himalaya (NE India to SW China) including the northern parts of Burma, Thailand, Lao PDR and Vietnam with only the flora of Bhutan (Noltie, 1994) partly covering this range. In the absence of extensive fieldwork the account presented here for Thailand can at best be regarded as provisional. STRUCTURE & TERMINOLOGY Alocasia plants are often complex in vegetative and floral structure and some notes on their morphology (based here substantially on Hay, 1998) are useful to aid identification. The stem of Alocasia, typically of most Araceae, is a physiognomically unbranched sympodium. The number of foliage leaves per module is variable between and within species and individuals, but during flowering episodes in some species it may be reduced to one.

    Phytochemical & Biological Evaluation of Cascabela Thevetia with Special

    . Presented by: Biman Bhuyan Assistant Professor Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Dibrugarh University Dibrugarh-786004, Assam, India Email ID:[email protected] Presented at: XIXth International Congress "Phytopharm 2015“ New Phytotherapeutics – Developments, Requirements and Success for Patients with Rational Phytotherapy. (Institute of Pharmacy, University of Bonn; July 21-24, 2015 ) . Diabetes mellitus is chronic disorder of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism resulting from insulin deficiency and abnormality in the use of insulin. Due to several problems with available conventional therapies, alternative approaches become essential to treat diabetes. Plant based medicine has become one of the most promising alternative strategy for treatment of diabetes. In this study the bark of Cascabela thevetia L. was selected for evaluation of antidiabetic activity based on its traditional use in Assam. T. Miyagawa et al. (J. Nat. Prod., 2009) in his article “Cardenolide Glycosides of Thevetia peruviana and Triterpenoid Saponins of Sapindus emarginatus as TRAIL Resistance-Overcoming Compounds” reported that cardenolide glycosides isolated from Thevetia peruviana (Cascabela thevetia) have significant reversal effect on TRAIL resistance in human gastric adrenocarcinoma cells. M.H. Khan et al. (Indian J Tradit Know., 2010) in his article “Antidiabetic plants used in Thoubal district of Manipur, North-East India” reported that bark of the plant is used by Meitei community for treatment of diabetes. V. Bandara et al. (Toxicon, 2010) in his article “A review of the natural history, toxinology, diagnosis and clinical management of Nerium oleander (common oleander) and Thevetia peruviana (yellow oleander) poisoning” reported the cardiac glycosides related toxicity and their clinical management in emergency.

    III. Triterpenoids from Grewia Sp

    III. Triterpenoids from Grewia sp. 3.1 Introduction The extract of leaves and flowers of a Grewia sp. (MG 3692) was obtained from Madagascar rainforests as a part of the ICBG program for the isolation of active anticancer agents. After testing the extract on A2780 bioassay, it exhibited activity at 3.7 μg/mL and hence it was selected for further analysis of its chemical components. The extract yielded one new and one known triterpenoid, 1 and 2. The isolation and structure determination of these compounds is described in this chapter. 3.1.1 Chemical Investigation of a Grewia sp. Grewia sp. of the Malvaceae family (previously belonging to the Tiliaceae family) is a genus of flowering plants found in tropical and temperate regions as well. The Malvaceae family has 75 genera and about 1500 species. Plants belonging to this family are economically useful, as they provide an excellent source of naturally occurring fiber, like cotton from the genus Gossypium, and certain foods like okra, from Abelmoschus esculentus, which is used as a vegetable. The stem and roots of Hibiscus tiawanensis, native to Taiwan, have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.2 The dried leaf extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa acts as a anti-hypertensive by inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).3 Plants of the Hibiscus sp. have been used as an antidote for chemical and wild mushroom poisoning4 as well as an Ayurvedic herbal shampoo in Indian medicine. The genus Grewia is mainly associated with triterpenoids and alkaloids. The extracts from these plants are known to have medicinal properties.5 The bark and roots of Grewia 61 tiliaefolia are used to treat skin diseases, hypertension, ulcers and diarrhoea.6 Lupenol (3.1), isolated from this plant, is known to cause apoptosis in several cancer cells.7 3.1 Lupenol Grewin (3.2) isolated from the extract of Grewia bilamellata, exhibits antimalarial activity against P.

Fiori. belonging to the family Tiliaceae, is an example of multipurpose plant species which is the source of food, fodder, fiber, fuelwood, timber and a range of traditional medicines that cure various perilous diseases and have mild antibiotic properties. The plant preparations are used for the treatment of bone fracture and for bone strengthening and tissue healing. The fruits are used for promoting fertility in females and are considered in special diets for pregnant women and anemic children. The plant is adapted to high temperatures and dry conditions and has deep roots which stabilize sand dunes. The shrubs play effectively for rehabilitation of wastelands. The plant parts are rich in amino acids and mineral elements and contain some pharmacologically active constituents. The plant is identified in trade for its fruits. Plant is also sold as wild species of medicinal and aromatic plant and is direct or indirect source of income for the tribal people. But the prolonged seed dormancy is a typical feature and vegetative propagation is not well characterized for the plant. Micropropagation by tissue culture techniques may play an effective role for plant conservation.

Peter has also provided meeting notes on the reclassification of filmy ferns. From Kylie, we have detail on the identification, life cycle, and treatment of coconut or white fern scale - Pinnaspis aspidistra , which sounds like a nasty problem in the fernery.
