From selective exclusion experiments, behavioural observations and pollen load analyses, we identified Amethyst Sunbirds (Chalcomitra amethystina) and Malachite Sunbirds (Nectarinia famosa) as the primary pollinators in two populations of Kniphofia laxiflora, with bees playing a smaller role. Bird visitors obtain moderate volumes (∼9 µl) of relatively concentrated (∼15%) hexose-rich nectar in the flowers. This species is shown to be genetically self- incompatible, and thus reliant on pollinator visits for seed set. Although mountain pride butterflies (Aeropetes tulbaghia) have been identified as important pollinators of this species at two other populations, they did not occur at the two populations we studied. © 2010 SAAB.

  • Kniphofia Crassifolia Baker: a Critically Endangered Medicinal Plant Used in the Soutpansberg, Vhembe Biosphere Reserve, Limpopo Province, South Africa
    L. J. Ramarumo et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res.

Ramarumo , A. Maroyi and M. P.

Abstract Literature studies suggest the possibilities that Kniphofia crassifolia might have gone extinct in some areas across the Limpopo Province, South Africa. However, the species is still extant in the Soutpansburg area of the Limpopo Province. Traditional healers within the region have been using K. crassifolia as phytomedicine for various male reproductive related ailments for ages. The present study was, therefore, aimed at documenting phytomedicinal uses of K. crassifolia by the traditional healers for treating male reproductive related ailments across the Soutpansberg area of the Vhembe Biosphere Reserve in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Data about phytomedicinal uses of the target plant species were collected using triangulation research methods, including interviewing 123 traditional healers using semi-structured questionnaires. The total of four phytomedicinal uses associated with K. crassifolia were recorded, including being utilized as a cure for orchitis (34.1%), hydrocele (infants and adult) (24.4%), varicocele (24.4%) and erectile dysfunctionality (17.1%). Three of the four recorded ailments were firstly recorded in the present study and they have never been reported elsewhere. To the best of our knowledge, no study has articulated the phytomedicinal uses of K.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

I have, in fact, tried to make each lesson the groundwork for oral teaching, in the course of which the children should be en- couraged to observe, to bring in specimens, and to ask questions. Then when the chapter is read and re-read, as is the case with most school books, it will become part of the child's own knowledge. No one can be more aware than I am how very slight these outlines arc, and how much more might have been given if space permitted.

Box 1176, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Key Word Index-Asphodelus; Asphodeline; Bulbine; Buibinella; Kniphofia; Asphodeloideae; Aspho- delaceae; roots; anthraquinones; chemotaxonomy. Abstract-The distribution of seven anthraquinones in the roots of some 46 species belonging to the genera Asphodelus, Asphodeline, Bulbine, Bulbinella and Kniphofia was studied by TLC and HPLC. l,&Dihydroxy- anthraquinones based on a chlysophanol unit are the main constituents of the subterranean metabolism in the subfamily Asphodeloideae. The genera Bulbine, Bulbinella and Kniphofia elaborate knipholone-type compounds. These compounds appear to be characteristic constituents for the three genera Bulbine, Bulbinella and Kniphofia and support the idea that Kniphofia is not related to the Alooideae. Introduction The subfamily Asphodeloideae (Asphodelaceae) comprises nine genera with approximately 261 species (Smith and Van Wyk, 1991). There have been different views on the relationships amongst the various genera of the Asphodelaceae sensu Dahlgren et al. (1985). Both Hutchinson (1959) and Cronquist (1981) classified Kniphofia with the Alooideae genera and not with the Asphodeloideae, which includes among others Asphodelus, Asphodeline, Eremurus, Bulbinella and Bulbine. Chemotaxonomic investigations (Rheede Van Oudtshoorn, 1963, 1964) on Asphodeleae and Aloineae (Liliaceae) sensu Hutchinson (1959) have shown that the genera Bulbine, Asphodelus, Asphodeline and Eremurus are linked by the presence of l,&dihydroxyanthra- quinones.

This means that they have all been thoroughly trialled and tested by them at Wisley Gardens and been found to be the best of the best and have been deservedly recognised so that gardeners can be assured of their pedigree and performance. Our front cover this year is devoted to a wonderful new Aster that we have had on trial in the Gardens here at Bressingham for the last two years. Aster ‘Small-ness’ was found by Dr Hugh McAllister of the famous Ness Gardens on the Wirral in Liverpool. Thought to be a three species cross between A. laevis x A. lateriflorus x A. dumosa ‘Professor Kippenburg’ it successfully combines the best characteristics of all three. It produces an unrivalled display of light pink, red centred flowers that completely cover a compact, neat mound of foliage. It is drought tolerant and is completely free mildew, the bane of many Asters, all in all unbeatable. Also new is the beautifully pastel, multi coloured Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ that has the depth and breadth of colours seen in many of the new cultivars from the USA but with one important characteristic that they miss, that being it is completely hardy and reliably perennial, creating a magnificent display year after year.

In harmony with the decision by Donk (l.c. basionym, Agaricus “trib.” Flammula Fries (l.c.). Finally, I note that 1962), the type of Visculus is accepted as that stated by Earle, i.e., when Earle (l.c.) published the new generic name Visculus, he simul- A. gummosus, while stabilization of the typification of Flammula by taneously listed “Flammula (Fries) Quél. 1872. Not Flammula DC. A. flavidus via conservation is here proposed. 1818” in synonymy while listing as type “Agaricus gummosus Fries”. If Visculus is interpreted as a replacement name, it would be typified Acknowledgement with A. flavidus whereas if it is interpreted as a new genus, it should be John McNeill is thanked for his guidance and advice regarding the typified by the named species. Earle (l.c.: 386) also listed “Flammula validity of the name Flammula (Ranunculaceae) and for editorial help.
