No. 2 (1988) Three new genera,Gymnococca Fischer & C. Meyer, HeterolaenaFischer & C. Meyer and Cal)ptrostegiaC. Meyer.which togetheraccounted for a largemajority of the species previouslyp\aced, in Pimelea,were named in two publicationsof 1845.These and a few later publications resulted in numerous recombinations,particularly in the large genus Calyptrostegia.Infrageneric groups, still ol unspecifiedrank, were recognised by Meyet (1845) under the generaGymnococca and Calyptrostegia.In the latter genushe includedtwo of Endlicher'sgrotps, Malistachys and Epallage. Presumably the new genusllererolaena was alsomeant to conespondwith Endlicher'sinfrageneric group Heterolaena. However, Fischer andMeyer (1845) did not acknowledgeEndlicher and the only specieslisted, -&znelea specmbilis lasHeterolaena spectarllls), had not beennamed at the time Endlicherlisted his speciesunder the inftagenericgrotp Heterolaena.Hence the genusand inlragenericgroup of the same nameare regardedas having different types. Another new genus,Macrostegia, was describedby Turczaninow(1852). It consistedof the singlespecies M. erubescens,which had shortly beforebeen named Pimelea physodes Hook. Although P physodesis a very distinctivespecies, Macrosteglo was neither accepted as a separategenus nor usedas an infragenericcategory by any later authors. A revisedclassification by Endlicher(1848) retained Glmnococca and Calyptrostegiaas separategenera. However, Heterolaeno Endl. and Phyllolaenawere treatedas groupsol unspecifiedrank underhmelea whtle Thecanthesand Choristachyswere treatedas groups uji'derCalyptrostegio bLrl with Choristachy,sat a higher level than Thecanthes.Meissner (1857) recognisedonly.Prmelea al lhe genericleveland listedthree sections, Thecanthes, Eupimelea andGymnococca. Under sect.Eupimeled he listedeight groups of unspecifiedrank, consisting of the lastfive of Endlicher'soriginal groups and threegroups of his own. Subsequentauthors have followed Meissner in recognisingPlnelea as the only genusin thiscomplex. However, Kuntze (1891), who consideredthat theolder name Ba.'lksra should be usedrather than Pimelea,published recombinations for mostof the then known species of Pimeleafollowed by a new classificationof infragenericgroups under Banksia (Kuntze 1903).This clasificationwas essentially the sameas that givenby Bentham(1873). Bentham's classi{icationis comparedin Table 1 with the more recentclassifications provided by Gilg (l 894)and Threlfall (1983).Gilgk classificationdiffered from Bentham'sin that Thecanthes wasrecognised as a subgenusrather than a section.The treatrnentol Thecanthesas a subgenus wasfollowed by Domke (1934)in his monographof the Thymelaeaceaeand by Ding Hou (l 960)in Flora Malesianabut not by Threlfall(1983) in her revisionof the speciesoccurring in four Australianstates. Threlfall followed Bentham's classification except that sheregarded oneol Bentham'ssubsections under Calyptrostegia as a separatesection while not recognising the other two subsections. Nomenclatureat the specificand varietal\evels rn Pimeleahas beencomplicated by the publicationof many new namesbased on cultivatedmaterial. Cultivation ol Pimeleaspectes in Europeappean to havecommenced in 1793with the easternAustralian species Pimelea lini,folia.By 1860,about 20 specieshad beencultivated, including the following Western Australianspecies: P rosea,P. ferruginea, P. clavata,P. sylvestris,P. hispida,P. IongiJlora, P. lanata,P. imbricata,P. spectabilisand probablyP. floribunda. In most casesdried specimens werenot referredto when new nameswere published for cultivatedplants and often there wasalso no illustrationavailable to nominateas type.Most of thesenames are regarded here as nominadubia.

  • Phytochemistry of Dais Cotinifolia L
    Phytochemistry of Dais cotinifolia L. Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science By Busisiwe Buyisile Danca School of Chemistry and Physics University of KwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg Supervisor: Professor Fanie R. van Heerden May 2018 | Page Abstract Many plant-derived secondary metabolites have interesting biological activities and some plant compounds such as artemisinin (antimalarial) and vincristine (anticancer agent) are the active principles of main-stream pharmaceuticals. South Africa has an immense biodiversity and there are in the order of 25 000 indigenous plant species in the country. The phytochemistry of many of these plants has never been investigated. Many bioactive compounds have been isolated from the Thymelaeaceae, such as prostatin (potent anti-HIV agent) and antitumour diterpenoids. Although a large number of Thymelaeaceae species are indigenous to South Africa, only a limited number of species have been subjected to phytochemical investigations. Dais cotinifolia L. is one species on which phytochemical results have not been published and this tree was the subject of this investigation. Four compounds were isolated from D. cotinifolia. Three of these compounds are known metabolites, two furofuran lignans, kobusin and eudesmin, and the flavonoid catechin. A fourth compound is novel norlignan, 2-hydroxy-5-(3-methoxyphenyl)-1-(4- methoxyphenyl)pentan-1-one. The compounds were isolated by applying different chromatographic procedures, such as column chromatography, preparative centrifugal thin-layer chromatography and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The structural elucidation of the compounds was based on mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. The antioxidant activities of the crude extracts of the different plant parts were determined by the DPPH assay.

  • Germination at Extreme Temperatures: Implications for Alpine Shrub Encroachment
    plants Communication Germination at Extreme Temperatures: Implications for Alpine Shrub Encroachment Susanna E. Venn 1,2,* , Rachael V. Gallagher 3 and Adrienne B. Nicotra 2 1 Centre for Integrative Ecology, School of Life and Environmental Sciences, Deakin University, Burwood, VIC 3125, Australia 2 Research School of Biology, Australian National University, Acton, ACT 2600, Australia; [email protected] 3 Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, NSW 2109, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Worldwide, shrub cover is increasing across alpine and tundra landscapes in response to warming ambient temperatures and declines in snowpack. With a changing climate, shrub encroachment may rely on recruitment from seed occurring outside of the optimum temperature range. We used a temperature gradient plate in order to determine the germination niche of 14 alpine shrub species. We then related the range in laboratory germination temperatures of each species to long-term average temperature conditions at: (1) the location of the seed accession site and (2) across each species geographic distribution. Seven of the species failed to germinate sufficiently to be included in the analyses. For the other species, the germination niche was broad, spanning a range in temperatures of up to 17 ◦C, despite very low germination rates in some species. Temperatures associated with the highest germination percentages were all above the range of temperatures present at each specific seed accession site. Optimum germination temperatures were consistently within or Citation: Venn, S.E.; Gallagher, R.V.; higher than the range of maximum temperatures modelled across the species’ geographic distribution.

  • Budawangia* an E-Newsletter for All Those Interested in the Native Plants of the Nsw South Coast
    BUDAWANGIA* AN E-NEWSLETTER FOR ALL THOSE INTERESTED IN THE NATIVE PLANTS OF THE NSW SOUTH COAST Contact: Dr Kevin Mills – [email protected] No. 46 – January 2016 Aims: To connect those interested in the native flora of the NSW South Coast, to share up to date information on the flora of the region and to broaden the appreciation of the region’s native plants. Editorial Not unusual for Christmas/New Year, the rain came just in time to interrupt the plans of many holiday makers on the coast. The wet beginning to January continued on and off, alternating with hot and humid weather, the total for the month well above average at Jamberoo. Summer storms marked the end of the month. This month’s edition is a mixed bag of pieces, beginning with an article on a new species of Banksia described for the Jervis Bay area. Other pieces include a note on forests of Large-leaved Privet in Jamberoo Valley, Wetland Plant No. 14, a new mystery weed and another ‘plant of the month’. The editorial team out there are slacking off! I mentioned an article on identifying elkhorns and staghorns in the November issue, but it was not therein as I had moved it; the piece appears this month. Below is note on a common Australian genus, the first in a short series to follow in subsequent editions of Budawangia. Eucalyptus - ‘well-covered’, referring to the operculum covering the flower bud. The first named species was Eucalyptus obliqua (Myrtaceae), gathered from Bruny Island, Tasmania in 1777 during Cook’s Third Voyage and later named in London by the French botanist L’Heritier.
