Current Science 79 (10), pp. Características: 1482-1483 (2000) Sterculiaceae es (era) una familia del orden Malvales, recientemente esta familia fue reordenada y muchos de sus integrantes fueron acomodados en otras familias. Originalmente se describían con habito arbóreo, como lianas o hierbas. Sus hojas son alternadas y simples, rara vez son palmadas lobadas o compuestas; las estipulas pueden estar presentes pero caen de forma temprana. Sus flores hermafroditas o unisexuales, las flores sonactinimorfas y rara vez cigomorfas. El perianto es comúnmente uniseriado, consistiendo de 3 a 5 valvas, sépalos basalmente conados, pero a veces un numero igual de pétalos puede estar presentes. El androceo frecuentemente consiste en dos formaciones en espiral con cinco estambres cada uno, unidos por sus filamentos en un tubo que comúnmente rodea el ovario o sobresale desde un androforo. El gineceo consiste en un solo pistilo complejo de cuatro a cinco carpelos débilmente unidos el ovario es supero con cuatro a cinco loculos, cada uno con al menos dos óvulos frutos pueden ser de varios tipos: secos, cápsulas y folículos (Sterculia y Cola), o bien carnosos. Muchas especies cultivadas, con gran importancia económica. Los estambres suelen presentarse en dos filas, y con frecuencia los exteriores están reducidos a estaminodios.

  • In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Potential of Sterculia Urens Roxb
    Shukla et al. Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2020) 6:45 Future Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s43094-020-00063-9 Pharmaceutical Sciences RESEARCH Open Access In vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Sterculia urens Roxb. root extract and its bioactive phytoconstituents evaluation Anjali Shukla, Krishna Desai and Nainesh Modi* Abstract Background: The plant Sterculia urens Roxb. of Malvaceae family is comparatively understudied. Genus Sterculia is widely recognized by its phytomedicinal and ethnomedicinal attributes. The study is aimed to evaluate the qualitative analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thin layer chromatography (TLC), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the crude hydro-methanolic extract of S. urens root. Results: The antioxidant activity, antimicrobial assay for clinical isolates, and TPC were measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, agar well diffusion method, and Folin–Ciocalteu assay respectively. Hydro- methanolic extract confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, steroids, and glycosides as primary and secondary metabolites, which was later confirmed by TLC. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of alkanes, alkenes, alkyl halides, halogen compounds, primary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, aldehyde, aromatic amine, secondary amines, amide group, and carboxylic acid. The crude extract was composed of a significant quantity of total phenolic content with 705 ± 0.40 mg GAE/g. Synergistically, the IC50 value of the crude extract and ascorbic acid was found to be 27.055 μg/ml and 37.244 μg/ml, respectively, which suggests that root extract possesses strong antioxidant properties. The majority of the microbial strains exhibited varying degrees of sensitivity to the root extract with a notable inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,andPenicillium glaucum.

ABUL HASSAN, MD. MANZURUL KADIR MIA 3 AND AHMED MOZAHARUL HUQ Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka 1000, Bangladesh Keywords: Taxonomy; Sterculiaceae; Nomenclature; Distribution; Bangladesh. Abstract Taxonomy, updated nomenclature and occurrence of the species belonging to the family Sterculiaceae in Bangladesh have been presented. Detailed herbarium study at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (K), Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (E), British Museum (BM), Bangladesh National Herbarium (DACB) and Dhaka University Salar Khan Herbarium (DUSH) has revealed the occurrence of 32 species under 15 genera of the Sterculiaceae in Bangladesh. The correct name, important synonym(s), salient diagnostic characteristics, specimens examined and distributional notes have been provided for each species. Dichotomous bracketed keys have also been presented for identification of genera and species. Introduction The Sterculiaceae is a family of tropical and sub-tropical plants, comprising nearly 70 genera and 1,500 species (Cronquist, 1981). They are characterized by the presence of stellate hairs, bilocular anthers, 10 to numerous stamens in two or more whorls, mostly connate by their filaments, superior ovary, anatropous ovules and axile placentation. The family consists of soft- wooded trees and shrubs, and a few herbaceous and climbing species. Many species growing in rain forests are remarkable for their development of plank buttresses. Systematically it is placed in the Malvales by Engler and Prantle (1896), and shows many features in common with the other families of that group, namely Tiliaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Bombacaceae and Malvaceae.

Don, Sterculia platanifolia L.f. and Sterculia foetida L.) grown in Egypt were selected for studying from a pharmacognostical point of view. On the basis of some morphological features, these species were reclassified under different genera and revised as Pterygota alata (Roxb.) R. Br., Brachychiton populneus (Schott & Endl.) R. Br. and Firmiana simplex (L.) W. Wight, respectively. Sterculia foetida L. remained belonging to genus Sterculia. In the present study, genetic, botanical, phytochemical and biological studies were performed in order to find the infrageneric relationships among the four taxa. Genetic analysis through DNA (RAPD-PCR fingerprinting of the fresh leaves) and protein (SDS-PAGE analysis of the seeds) profilings showed great genetic variations between the studied species. The botanical study included the investigation of macromorphological (vegetative and floral morphology) and micromorphological (leaves) characters. Macromorphological characters displayed considerable variation in leaves, inflorescence, fruits and seeds, while the micromorphological ones showed various similarities among the four species. Non- glandular and glandular trichomes were the main differentiating characters among the four species.

Bhattacharyya 2 PGT (Botany), Pragjyotish Senior Secondary School, Guwahati-33 (Assam), India. 1PGT (Botany), Gurukul Grammer Senior Secondary School, Guwahati-22 (Assam), India. 2Department of Botany, Guwahati College, Guwahati-21 (Assam), India. Abstract Assam is floristically one of the biodiversity hotspots that occupy a special place in Northeastern India with more than 3,000 flowering plants. The rich floristic diversity is due to its unique geographical location and diverse physiographic and varied climatic conditions. The present paper aimed to document the diversity of polypetalous plant species in Jalukbari area of Assam and provides information on their botanical name, family, taxonomic account, accurate citation and identification. This study is first of its kind so far conducted in the Jalukbari area of Assam showing current status of polypetalous plant species contribute substantially to the diversity of the area. A total of 36 polypetalous plant species belonging to 31 genera and 17 families are included in the study. Key words : Biodiversity hotspots, polypetalous plants, taxonomy, ecosystem, Jalukbari. Introduction or multiply. In Dicot, there are usually numerous axillary veins which reticulate between the major ones.
