J OHN KRESS,2,3,5 AI-ZHONG LIU,2 MARK NEWMAN,4 AND QING-JUN LI3 2Department of Botany, MRC-166, United States National Herbarium, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, PO Box 37012, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012 USA; 3Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mengla, Yunnan 666303 China; and 4Royal Botanic Garden, 20A Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, Scotland, UK Alpinia is the largest, most widespread, and most taxonomically complex genus in the Zingiberaceae with 230 species occurring throughout tropical and subtropical Asia. Species of Alpinia often predominate in the understory of forests, while others are important ornamentals and medicinals. Investigations of the evolutionary relationships of a subset of species of Alpinia using DNA sequence- based methods speci®cally test the monophyly of the genus and the validity of the previous classi®cations. Seventy-two species of Alpinia, 27 non-Alpinia species in the subfamily Alpinioideae, eight species in the subfamily Zingiberoideae, one species in the subfamily Tamijioideae, and three species in the outgroup genus Siphonochilus (Siphonochiloideae) were sequenced for the plastid matK region and the nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) loci. Parsimony analyses of both individual and combined data sets identi®ed six polyphyletic clades containing species of Alpinia distributed across the tribe Alpinieae. These results were supported by a Bayesian analysis of the combined data set. Except in a few speci®c cases, these monophyletic groupings of species do not correspond with either Schumann's (1904) or Smith's (1990) classi®cation of the genus.

  • Vase Life of Floral and Vegetative Stems of Costaceae(1)
    MARCOS ANTONIO DA SILVA JÚNIOR et. al 443 SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE Vase life of floral and vegetative stems of Costaceae(1) MARCOS ANTONIO DA SILVA JÚNIOR(2), PETTERSON BAPTISTA DA LUZ(2)*, CAROLINA DE FARIA CABRAL PAES PEREIRA E BARROS(2), CAROLINA MOREIRA DE MEDEIROS(2) ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the vase life of floral and vegetative stems of Costaceae and describe their morphological characteristics. To evaluate the vase life of floral and vegetative stems, four and six species were used, respectively. Three cutting stages were established for floral stems. Stems were cut a few days before flower opening at stage 1, upon opening of the first flower(s) (anthesis) at stage 2, and when floral stems showed more than 15 opened flowers at stage 3. However, only two different stages were applied for each species. Floral stems were standardized with 50 cm in length, while vegetative stems were standardized with 70 cm in length. The morphological characteristics determined for floral stems included diameter of the floral stem, length of inflorescence, diameter of inflorescence and fresh mass of floral stem. For vegetative stems, we considered diameter and fresh mass. After the first evaluation, stems were maintained at 22 ºC and 53% of humidity. The total number of post-harvest days (global longevity) in which the quality of floral and vegetative stems was acceptable were evaluated. The highest vase life for floral stems at stage 1 was observed for Costus woodsoni, Costus arabicus x Costus spiralis (Costus Tropicales), and Costus scaber. Hellenia speciosa showed higher vase life at stage 3.

Further, for better convenience the presentation of each species in the enumeration the genera and species under the families are arranged in alphabetical order. In case of Gymnosperms, four families with their genera and species also arranged in alphabetical order. The following sequence of enumeration is taken into consideration while enumerating each identified plants.

I was fortunate that in the 1970’s Dr. Paul Maas had published a complete monograph About 20 years ago I began to focus my gardening of the neo-tropical species, with an identification key, full interests on gingers, and ultimately on the so-called “spiral descriptions and illustrations. gingers” in the plant family Costaceae.

Retz) J. E. Smith. Mathew George, Lincy Joseph, Niju Abraham Jacob* Pushpagiri College of Pharmacy, Thiruvalla, Kerala. ABSTRACT Costus speciosus is one of the most traditionally used plants for its various pharmacological activities it has been used as anti-diabetic as anthelminthic as contraceptives and aborting agents. Pharmacognostic and phytochemical studies have been conducted on the stems leaves roots and rhizomes but the inflorescence have not been much studied. The current study deals with the Pharmacognostic aspects (classification, distribution, microscopic study of Costus speciosus and the phytochemical studies performed for the determination of secondary metabolites present in the inflorescence of Costus Speciosus (Koenig ex. Retz) J. E. Smith. Keywords: Costus speciosus, inflorescence, Pharmacognostic, phytochemical. INTRODUCTION Costus speciosus, an important medicinal and Order- Zingiberales ornamental plant cultivated in India belongs to family Family- Costaceae Costaceae (Zingiberales). It is commonly called Creep Genus- Costus ginger. Within the Zingiberales, Costaceae is easily Species- Speciosus recognized and distinguished from other families by well- developed and sometimes branched aerial shoots that have 4. Description of the selected plant part a characteristic monistichous (one-sided) spiral phyllotaxy. The inflorescence is terminal ellipsoid or ovoid 5- Formerly Costaceae was placed as a subfamily within the 15 cm.
