Botanical Nomenclature: Concept, History of Botanical Nomenclature
Module – 15; Content writer: AvishekBhattacharjee Module 15: Botanical Nomenclature: Concept, history of botanical nomenclature (local and scientific) and its advantages, formation of code. Content writer: Dr.AvishekBhattacharjee, Central National Herbarium, Botanical Survey of India, P.O. – B. Garden, Howrah – 711 103. Module – 15; Content writer: AvishekBhattacharjee Botanical Nomenclature:Concept – A name is a handle by which a mental image is passed. Names are just labels we use to ensure we are understood when we communicate. Nomenclature is a mechanism for unambiguous communication about the elements of taxonomy. Botanical Nomenclature, i.e. naming of plants is that part of plant systematics dealing with application of scientific names to plants according to some set rules. It is related to, but distinct from taxonomy. A botanical name is a unique identifier to which information of a taxon can be attached, thus enabling the movement of data across languages, scientific disciplines, and electronic retrieval systems. A plant’s name permits ready summarization of information content of the taxon in a nested framework. A systemofnamingplantsforscientificcommunicationmustbe international inscope,andmustprovideconsistencyintheapplicationof names.Itmustalsobeacceptedbymost,ifnotall,membersofthe scientific community. These criteria led, almost inevitably, to International Botanical Congresses (IBCs) being the venue at which agreement on a system of scientific nomenclature for plants was sought. The IBCs led to publication of different ‘Codes’ which embodied the rules and regulations of botanical nomenclature and the decisions taken during these Congresses. Advantages ofBotanical Nomenclature: Though a common name may be much easier to remember, there are several good reasons to use botanical names for plant identification. Common names are not unique to a specific plant.

Nouvelles synonymies dans le genre Pepero- mia Ruiz & Pav. (Piperaceae) – une liste annotée. Candollea 61: 331-363. En anglais, résumés anglais et français. Dans cette liste annotée, 111 noms de taxa de Peperomia Ruiz & Pav.

En addition, 43 lectotypes sont désignés. La nomenclature appropriée ainsi que la ju stification taxonomique est donnée. KEY-WORDS: PIPERACEAE – Peperomia – Synonymy – TRGP database Introduction Taxonomy underlies every biological concept. Any formulation of hypothesis in ecology, systematics, biogeography and comparative biology in general is based on taxonomic decisions. A choice of areas for conservation relies on abundance, population structure and geographical distribution of a targeted species, whose taxonomy is of critical importance for final considerations on its real status. In our age of genomics, nomenclatural issues may seem irrelevant for many, but yet are crucial for maintaining a clear and rigid perspective on the taxonomy of a particular group.

The Nature of Naming What’S in a Name?
The Nature of Naming What’s in a Name? • "A rose is a rose," it has been said • And most of us know a rose when we see one • As we know the African marigolds • Maples, elms, cedars, and pines that shade our backyards and line our streets What’s in a Name? • We usually call these plants by their common names • But if we wanted to know more about the cedar tree in our front yard, we would find that "cedar" may refer to: – Eastern red cedar What’s in a Name? • Incense cedar What’s in a Name? • Western red cedar What’s in a Name? • Atlantic white cedar What’s in a Name? • Spanish cedar What’s in a Name? • Biblical Lebanon cedar What’s in a Name? • In fact, we would find that cedars are found in three separate plant families What’s in a Name? • Later, after discovering that our "African" marigolds are in fact from Mexico and our "Spanish" cedar originated in the West Indies, we would realize how misleading the common names of plants can be. What’s in a Name? • The same plant can have many different common names – European white lily has at least 245 – Marsh marigold has at least 280 What’s in a Name? • Clearly, if we use only the common name of a plant, we cannot be sure of understanding very much about that plant Classification • It is for this reason that the scientific community prefers to use a more precise way of naming, or classification • Scientific classification, however, is more than just naming: it is a key to understanding • Botanists name a plant to give it a unique place in the biological world, as well as to clarify its relationships within that world How Are Plants Classified? • Science classifies living things in an orderly system through which they can be easily identified – Categories of increasing size, based upon relationships within those categories How Are Plants Classified? • For example, all plants can be put in order from the more primitive to the more advanced.

ISSN 2226-3063 e-ISSN 2227-9555 Modern Phytomorphology 15: 6–13, 2020 RESEARCH ARTICLE An efficient plant regeneration, detection and identification of secondary metabolites from propagate plants of Peperomia pellucida (L.) for mass cultivatione Abdul Bakrudeen Ali Ahmed1,2,3 , Teoh Lydia1 , Muneeb Muhamed Musthafa4 , Rosna Mat Taha1 , Faiz MMT Marikar 5* 1Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Malaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2Department of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Center for Research and Development (CRD), PRIST University, Vallam, Thanjavur - 613403, Tamil Nadu, India 3Department of Applied Sciences, Ton Duc Thang University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam 4Department of Biosystems Technology, South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, University Park, Oluvil, 32360, Sri Lanka 5Department of Health Science and Education, The Open University of Sri Lanka, 10350, Sri Lanka; *[email protected] Received: 21.12.2020 | Accepted: 12.01.2021 | Published: 20.01.2021 Abstract Several species in the genus Peperomia Ruiz and Pav have giant chloroplasts in the palisade parenchyma of their leaves. Because of this unique feature, Peperomia pellucida L. has become a valuable model plant for studying plastid biology. However, the use of Peperomia for molecular studies has been limited by the lack of efficient regeneration and transformation protocols. This study describes an effective protocol for in vitro shoot induction, plant regeneration and rooting from internode of explant of Peperomia pellucida using Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different plant growth regulators. The multiple shoots were induced from internodes cultured on MS medium containing Kinetin (KN) (0.5 mg L-1) alone which induced six shoots per internodal explant.

The botanical name, family name, vernacular name, habit, habitat and their ethnomedicinal uses are provided. Key words: Pteridophytes, Chenchus, Nallamalais, Andhra Pradesh. Introduction Nallamalais are range of parallel hills of the Eastern Ghats, located south of the Krishna river in southern part of Andhra Pradesh state, India. They are renowned for being rich in biodiversity and their total length is about 430 kms; the northern boundary is in the Palnad Basin, and the southern boundary is in the Seshachalam Hills (Rao. 1998). The Chenchus are a Telugu speaking (originally chenchu language of Dravidian style) food-gathering tribe, living in the Nallamala forests, spread over the districts of Mahabubnagar, Kurnool, Prakasam, Nalgonda and Guntur. They are a conservative tribal group and have not made many changes in their lifestyle or tried to adapt to modernity. They live in the enclosed space and geography, leading a life of an unbroken continuity. The Chenchus are undaunted by their natural surroundings and set out to gather food or hunt animals.

Guimarães3 and Marccus Alves2 Received: 5.10.2015; accepted: 27.01.2016 ABSTRACT - (Synopsis of the genus Peperomia Ruiz & Pav. (Piperaceae) in Roraima State, Brazil). Peperomia is the second most diverse genus of Piperaceae, with an estimated 1,600 species and a pantropical distribution. This work aims to present a taxonomic synopsis of the genus in the State of Roraima, in the extreme north of the Brazilian Amazon forest and belonging to the central-south portion of the Guayana Shield. Based on collecting expeditions and analysis of specimens in various herbaria, 23 taxa were recognized, with two new records for the State and one of them, a new record for Brazil. The taxa are differentiated mainly by phyllotaxis, shape and size of their leaves, in addition to habit and fruits. They have been found in areas of lowland, submontane, montane, tepui and floodplain (várzea) forests and mostly show a distribution restricted to the Neotropics. Some species in the state are presently known exclusively from Mount Roraima, and restricted to a few specimens. Keywords: Amazon Forest, Guayana Shield, new records, Piperales, Tepui RESUMO - (Sinopse do gênero Peperomia Ruiz & Pav. (Piperaceae) no Estado de Roraima, Brasil). Peperomia Ruiz & Pav. é o segundo gênero mais diverso de Piperaceae, com aproximadamente 1.600 especies que estão distribuídas na região pantropical.
