Türlerinin Kimyasal Bileșikleri ve Biyolojik Aktiviteleri Received : 11.02.2014 Revised : 09.06.2014 Accepted : 25.08.2014 Selen İlgün*, Ayşe Baldemir*°, Müberra Koşar** Giriş Alchemilla L. cinsi, otsu ve odunsu bitkilerin bulunduğu dikotiledonların büyük ve önemli bir familyası olan Rosaceae familyasına dahildir. Takso- nomik açıdan oldukça kritik ve zor bir grup olan Alchemilla cinsi, başlıca holoartrik bölgede yayılış göstermekte olup Dünya’da 1000’den fazla türü içermektedir. Avrupa ve Asya’da geniş bir yayılışa sahip olan cins Doğu Af- rika, Kuzey Amerika ve Avustralya’da da doğal olarak yetişmektedir. Ayrıca peyzaj amaçlı kültürü de yapılmaktadır1. Türkiye Florası’nda ise 50 tür ile temsil edilen bu cinsin tür sayısı, son yıllarda sürdürülen geniş kapsamlı çalışmalar ile 78’e ulaşmıştır2. Alchemilla türleri dünyada tıbbi amaçlı olarak yaygın bir şekilde kullanıl- sa da ülkemizde halk arasında pek tanınmayan ancak Anadolu’da yetişen bitki türleridir. “Yıldız nişanı” veya “Fındık otu” olarak bilinen A. pseudocar- talinica Juz. yaprakları ile “Aslan ayağı” olarak bilinen A. arvensis (L.) Scop. kök ve yaprakları kabız etkili, kuvvet verici ve idrar artırıcı olarak Anadolu’da kullanılmaktadır3. Yine Avrupa’nın birçok bölgesinde sıklıkla yetişen A. vul- garis L. bitkisinin toprak üstü kısımlarının halk arasında diüretik, astrenjan, antispazmodik, yara iyileştirici, konvulsif hastalıkların tedavisinde ve aşırı menstürasyonda kür olarak kullanımı olduğu kaydedilmiştir4. Eski çağlarda rahibe kadınların giysilerinin yakaları, yapraklarının şekline benzetildiği için Alman botanikçiler bitkiye “Kadın Mantosu (Ladys’ Mantle)”, Fransızlar ise yaprakları aslan pençesi şeklinde yarıklı bir yapıya sahip olduğu için “Aslan Pençesi” adını vermişlerdir5,6.

  • THE IRISH RED DATA BOOK 1 Vascular Plants
    THE IRISH RED DATA BOOK 1 Vascular Plants T.G.F.Curtis & H.N. McGough Wildlife Service Ireland DUBLIN PUBLISHED BY THE STATIONERY OFFICE 1988 ISBN 0 7076 0032 4 This version of the Red Data Book was scanned from the original book. The original book is A5-format, with 168 pages. Some changes have been made as follows: NOMENCLATURE has been updated, with the name used in the 1988 edition in brackets. Irish Names and family names have also been added. STATUS: There have been three Flora Protection Orders (1980, 1987, 1999) to date. If a species is currently protected (i.e. 1999) this is stated as PROTECTED, if it was previously protected, the year(s) of the relevant orders are given. IUCN categories have been updated as follows: EN to CR, V to EN, R to V. The original (1988) rating is given in brackets thus: “CR (EN)”. This takes account of the fact that a rare plant is not necessarily threatened. The European IUCN rating was given in the original book, here it is changed to the UK IUCN category as given in the 2005 Red Data Book listing. MAPS and APPENDIX have not been reproduced here. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are most grateful to the following for their help in the preparation of the Irish Red Data Book:- Christine Leon, CMC, Kew for writing the Preface to this Red Data Book and for helpful discussions on the European aspects of rare plant conservation; Edwin Wymer, who designed the cover and who, as part of his contract duties in the Wildlife Service, organised the computer applications to the data in an efficient and thorough manner.

  • Maritime Alps Summer 2013 Wildlife Tour Report Botanical Birdwatching
    Maritime Alps Satyrs and the Ancient King A Greentours Tour Report 16th to 23rd July 2013 Led by Paul Cardy and Stefano Doglio Daily Accounts and Systematic Lists written by Paul Cardy The third of the Greentours summer Alpine trilogy, following on from The Dolomites and Slovenia, was an excellent week in the western Alps, on both the French and Italian sides of the glorious Maritime Alps. Even after more than a decade of leading tours here, and living just to the north in the Cottian Alps, the area still holds some surprises. Plant highlights this year included Lilium pomponium, Allium narcissiflorum, and Saxifraga callosa all in fine flower, the latter locally abundant cascading from cliffs and walls. Special were the endemic Micromeria marginata, the beautiful endemic Viola valderia, and many of the local speciality Nigritella corneliana. New for the tour this year were Orobanche salviae, Phyteuma globulariifolium, Knautia mollis, Achillea tomentosa, Gentiana brachyphylla, and Leuzea conifera. It was also a very good season for butterflies, not quite reaching the lofty heights of 2012’s 124 species, but we recorded approaching 100 species, many in large numbers. The first five nights were spent at a small pleasant family run hotel in the Valdeblore hamlet of La Bolline, a fine location, well situated for all excursions, and with a small grocery and a bakery just along the street where I could do the daily picnic shopping whilst Stefano looked after the group at breakfast. For the last two nights of the tour we moved to the other side of Mercantour National Park, and the hamlet of Casterino, which allowed easy access into the Italian Alpi Maritime, a superbly productive area.

Andreeva Faculty of Biology, Department of Botany, Tver State University, 170100 Tver, Zhelyabova St. 33, 170100, RUSSIA *e-mail : [email protected] Received : 28.04.2015; Revised : 10.09.2015; Accepted and published on line: 01.11. 2015 ABSTRACT Monopodial rosette-forming herbaceous Rosaceae is a convenient model group for researching the anomalies of the generative structures. We studied the diversity of anomalous structures in different taxon this groups. Homeotic variantes of the anomalies in monopodial rosette-forming Rosaceae connected with the features of their architectural model. We developed the classification approach to the analysis of teratological diversity. It takes into account also mechanisms of conversion of typical morphogenesis. Our classification of anomalies of monopodial rosette-forming Rosaceae has several levels of detail. We developed also special classifications of anomalous structures for specific taxonomic groups. We have considered for example of Geum rivale teratology-specific in the taxa with great frequency of homeotic structures. For example, species of the Alchemilla vulgaris complex studied a variety of anomalies in the taxa with regular apomixis. The species of this complex are characterized by a high level of variability of the flower, which does not depend on weather conditions.

We were joined at the airport by three more members of the group and then climbed aboard the train, which whisked us away towards our mountain destination. Four hours and a couple of changes later, we arrived in the beautiful village of Wengen. En route we had seen a couple of Black Kites and a few Great Crested Grebes on Lake Thun and our first Swiss butterfly - a Peacock from the train. Although Wengen was wet on arrival, by the time we had finished our dinner in the lovely Hotel Berghaus, the sun had managed to break out and we were presented with a beautiful double rainbow and a magnificent view of the mountains. So after dinner we went to bed, hoping for great weather and lots of butterflies! Day 2 Monday 30th June At breakfast on our first day in the mountains we had a covering of cloud over all the mountain tops.
