Diversity of Nymphaea L. Species (Water Lilies) in Sri Lanka D
Sciscitator. 2014/ Vol 01 DIVERSITY OF NYMPHAEA L. SPECIES (WATER LILIES) IN SRI LANKA D. P. G. Shashika Kumudumali Guruge Board of Study in Plant Sciences Water lilies are aquatic herbs with perennial rhizomes or rootstocks anchored in the mud. In Sri Lanka, they are represented by the genus Nymphaea L. It has two species, N. nouchali Burm. F. and N. pubescens Willd (Dassanayake and Clayton, 1996). Water-lilies have been popular as an ornamental aquatic plant in Sri Lanka from ancient times as they produce striking flowers throughout the year. In addition to these native water-lilies, few ornamental species are also been introduced in the past into the water bodies. Nymphaea nouchali (Synonym- N. stellata) N. nouchali has three colour variations, white, pink and violet blue. They are commonly known as “Manel”. According to the field observations pink flowered Nymphaea is not wide spread like others. Blue and white Nymphaea are widely spread mainly in dry zone, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and also in Jaffna, Ampara, Chilaw and Kurunegala. Among these, pale blue flower Nymphaea or “Nil Manel” is considered as the National flower of Sri Lanka. Figure 01.

HOVERFLY NEWSLETTER Dipterists
HOVERFLY NUMBER 41 NEWSLETTER SPRING 2006 Dipterists Forum ISSN 1358-5029 As a new season begins, no doubt we are all hoping for a more productive recording year than we have had in the last three or so. Despite the frustration of recent seasons it is clear that national and international study of hoverflies is in good health, as witnessed by the success of the Leiden symposium and the Recording Scheme’s report (though the conundrum of the decline in UK records of difficult species is mystifying). New readers may wonder why the list of literature references from page 15 onwards covers publications for the year 2000 only. The reason for this is that for several issues nobody was available to compile these lists. Roger Morris kindly agreed to take on this task and to catch up for the missing years. Each newsletter for the present will include a list covering one complete year of the backlog, and since there are two newsletters per year the backlog will gradually be eliminated. Once again I thank all contributors and I welcome articles for future newsletters; these may be sent as email attachments, typed hard copy, manuscript or even dictated by phone, if you wish. Please do not forget the “Interesting Recent Records” feature, which is rather sparse in this issue. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 42 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2006 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email: [email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2006. -
The Birds of the Dar Es Salaam Area, Tanzania
Le Gerfaut, 77 : 205–258 (1987) BIRDS OF THE DAR ES SALAAM AREA, TANZANIA W.G. Harvey and KM. Howell INTRODUCTION Although the birds of other areas in Tanzania have been studied in detail, those of the coast near Dar es Salaam have received relatively little recent attention. Ruggles-Brise (1927) published a popular account of some species from Dar es Salaam, and Fuggles-Couchman (1939,1951, 1953, 1954, 1962) included the area in a series of papers of a wider scope. More recently there have been a few other stu dies dealing with particular localities (Gardiner and Gardiner 1971), habitats (Stuart and van der Willigen 1979; Howell 1981), or with individual species or groups (Harvey 1971–1975; Howell 1973, 1977). Britton (1978, 1981) has docu mented specimens collected in the area previous to 1967 by Anderson and others. The purpose of this paper is to draw together data from published reports, unpu blished records, museum specimens and our own observations on the frequency, habitat, distribution and breeding of the birds of the Dar es Salaam area, here defi ned as the portion of the mainland within a 64-km radius of Dar es Salaam, inclu ding the small islands just offshore (Fig. 1). It includes Dar es Salaam District and portions of two others, Kisarawe and Bagamoyo. Zanzibar has been omitted because its unusual avifauna has been reviewed (Pakenham 1979). Most of the mainland areas are readily accessible from Dar es Salaam by road and the small islands may be reached by boat. The geography of the area is described in Sutton (1970). -

(LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED to OTHER WOODY SPECIES By
ABSTRACT BEAVER (CASTOR CANADENSIS) ELECTIVITY FOR AMUR HONEYSUCKLE (LONICERA MAACKII) COMPARED TO OTHER WOODY SPECIES by Janet L. Deardorff The North American beaver is a keystone riparian obligate which creates and maintains riparian areas by building dams. In much of the eastern U.S., invasive shrubs are common in riparian zones, but we do not know if beavers promote or inhibit these invasions. I investigated whether beavers use the invasive shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), preferentially compared to other woody species and the causes of differences in L. maackii electivity among sites. At eight sites, I identified woody stems on transects, recording stem diameter, distance to the water’s edge, and whether the stem was cut by beaver. To determine predictors of cutting by beaver, I conducted binomial generalized regressions, using distance from the water’s edge, diameter, and plant genus as fixed factors and site as a random factor. To quantify beaver preference, I calculated an electivity index (Ei) for each genus at each site. Lonicera maackii was only preferred at two of the eight sites though it comprised 41% of the total cut stems. Stems that were closer to the water’s edge and with a smaller diameter had a higher probability of being cut. Among sites, L. maackii electivity was negatively associated with the density of stems of preferred genera.

Middle East Journal of Agriculture Volume : 06 | Issue : 04 | Oct.-Dec. | 2017 Research Pages:1078-1088 ISSN 2077-4605 Nymphaea nilotica Fawzi & Azer sp. nov. (Nymphaeaceae), a New Aquatic Species from Nile Region, Egypt Nael M. Fawzi and Safwat A. Azer Flora and Phytotaxonomy Researches Department, Horticultural Research Institute, Agricultural Research Centre, Dokki, Egypt. Received: 04 Sept. 2017 / Accepted: 19 Oct. 2017 / Publication date: 27 Nov. 2017 ABSTRACT Nymphaea nilotica Fawzi & Azer sp. nov. is illustrated and described as a new species to science. N. nilotica is related to N. mexicana Zucc. It differs from N. mexicana by the following characters: petals 30-32, carpels 13-14 and stamens about 98. N. nilotica is a rhizomatous perennial aquatic herb. It colonizes in the shallows of slow streams from a several localities in Nile region beside Waraq Island in Giza governorate. Morphological and anatomical features, distribution map, and notes on ecology of the new species are given. A key is provided to differentiate among species of Nymphaea in Egypt. Key words: Nymphaea nilotica, Nymphaeaceae, taxonomy, morphological and anatomical characters. Introduction The family Nymphaeaceae is comprised of six genera namely: Nymphaea, Nuphar, Victoria, Euryale, Baraclaya (Hydrostemma), Ondinea (Slocum, 2005; Christenhusz and Byng, 2016). The genus Nymphaea (water lily) is the largest genus of Nymphaeaceae, with approximately 50 species occurs almost worldwide (Borsch, et al., 2007). Nymphaea species are highly phenotypically plastic and possibly hybridize. This situation is clarified by the occurrence of many garden cultivars of hybrid origin (Slocum, 2005). Moreover, Volkova and Shipunov (2007) mentioned that, many Nymphaea species have numerous subspecies, chromosomal races, and forms of hybrid and artificial origin. -
C3 Primitive Angiosperms
Magnoliids & other Primitive Angiosperms Revised 5th of May 2015 Angiosperm, pl angiosperms; Angiospermae n (Greek anggeion (angeion), vessel, small container, & Greek σπέρµα, sperma, seed) A major division of the plant kingdom, commonly called flowering plants as their reproductive organs are in flowers, having seeds which develop in a closed ovary made of carpels, a very reduced gametophyte, & endosperm develop from a triple fusion nucleus; flowering plant producing seeds enclosed in a structure derived from the ovary; flowering plant, plants with ovules enclosed in ovary. A division of the seed plants (spermatophytes) that bear ovules & seeds in closed megaspores (carpels) in contrast to gymnosperms, which have exposed ovules & seeds, born “naked” on the megasporophylls. Angiosperms are distinguished by a unique process of sexual reproduction called “double fertilization”. According to the number of leaves (cotyledons) present in the embryo, two major groups are distinguished, the Monocotyledons & the Dicotyledons. Angiosperms are commonly referred to as “flowering plants: even though the reproductive organs of some gymnosperms are also borne in structures that fulfill the definition of a flower. Cf gymnosperm. Angiosperms have traditionally been split into monocotyledons & dicotyledons, or plants with one or two seed leaves respectively. One group of plants that have two seeds leaves was problematic, as it also had primitive flowers & some traits in common with monocots. This group is the Magnoliids, or primitive angiosperms. The remainder of the dicots are called Eudicots, the prefix eu-, from Greek ἐὐς, eus, good, meaning the good dicots. Magnoliids (Eumagnoliids?) About 8,500 (5,000-9,000) spp in 20 angiosperm families, of large trees, shrubs, vines, lianas, & herbs that are neither eudicotyledons nor monocotyledons, distributed in tropical & temperate areas. -
