  • Survey of Ornamental Ferns, Their Morphology and Uses for Environmental Protection, Improvement and Management
    Ife Journal of Science vol. 14, no. 2 (2012) 245 SURVEY OF ORNAMENTAL FERNS, THEIR MORPHOLOGY AND USES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT. Oloyede, F. A. Department of Botany, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. E-mail: [email protected] (Received: April 2012; Accepted: August 2012) ABSTRACT A survey of ornamental ferns with potentials for environmental protection, improvement and management was conducted at Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria and villages around it between 2008-2012. The collections were characterized morphologically. This was with a view to creating awareness of the importance of ornamental ferns for environmental management and economic values. Ferns were collected from humid forest, rainforest and re-growth forest vegetation zones, open bare land, around homes, offices and road sides. All the ferns collected were raised at the Department of Botany, OAU, Ile-Ife. Morphological, reproductive and growth parameters were observed, documented for their ornamental values and for their relevance in environmental protection, improvement and management. The result showed that there were a lot of variations in the shape and type of apex, frond length and diameters; leaflet texture, size and shapes in all the ferns studied. There were little variations in the structures of rhizome except in Phymatodes scholopendria with long-creeping, climbing, succulent rhizome. The only leaflet with petiole was found in Adiantum veneris-capillus. They have shoot and root biomass which are directly involved in checking wind and soil erosion by covering and holding soils together. These ornamental ferns were found to have much value for landscaping and aesthetic purposes but they were found in few villages with little or no attention.

  • Houseplants Have an Almost Magical Ability to Transform an Otherwise Drab and Dreary House Into an Aesthetically Pleasing, Peaceful Home
    During the winter months, surround yourself with houseplants and breathe a little easier! Houseplants have an almost magical ability to transform an otherwise drab and dreary house into an aesthetically pleasing, peaceful home. But they can also improve indoor air quality. Beautiful houseplants serve as an additional air filtration system in your home. Peggy Anderson, Greenhouse Associate at Countryside Flower Shop and Nursery in Crystal Lake, recommends these plants as the most effective air cleaners: Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii) – The Peace Lily is a favorite to many customers especially when it blooms. This graceful flowering plant thrives in light to moderate shade. It tops the list in air-purifying plants removing benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, toluene and ammonia from the air you breathe indoors. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) – Great for the beginner or someone who may not be confident in their plant care. This super easy to care for plant enjoys bright indirect light. Pothos also remove the above-mentioned toxins from your indoor air. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue (Sanseviera trifasciata) – These stiff, upright leaves reach up to 4 feet tall and come with stripes of different variegations. It will withstand a variety of indoor conditions and prefers a dry soil. English Ivy (Hedera helix) – Although a little trickier to care for, Ivy plants lend themselves nicely to topiaries, used as a trailing plant or as a climber with support. English Ivy has a natural ability to filter pollutants from your indoor air as well. Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina) – Weeping Figs grow beautifully in a brightly lit room, preferring direct sunlight.

PhytoKeys 78: 83–107. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.78.12040 Abstract The monotypic fern genusDryopolystichum Copel. combines a unique assortment of characters that ob- scures its relationship to other ferns. Its thin-walled sporangium with a vertical and interrupted annulus, round sorus with peltate indusium, and petiole with several vascular bundles place it in suborder Poly- podiineae, but more precise placement has eluded previous authors. Here we investigate its phylogenetic position using three plastid DNA markers, rbcL, rps4-trnS, and trnL-F, and a broad sampling of Polypodi- ineae.

  • Current State of Indoor Air Phytoremediation Using Potted Plants and Green Walls
    atmosphere Review Current State of Indoor Air Phytoremediation Using Potted Plants and Green Walls Samaneh Bandehali 1, Taghi Miri 2,* , Helen Onyeaka 2 and Prashant Kumar 3 1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Arak University, Arak 38156-8-8349, Iran; [email protected] 2 School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, UK; [email protected] 3 Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE), Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Urban civilization has a high impact on the environment and human health. The pollution level of indoor air can be 2–5 times higher than the outdoor air pollution, and sometimes it reaches up to 100 times or more in natural/mechanical ventilated buildings. Even though people spend about 90% of their time indoors, the importance of indoor air quality is less noticed. Indoor air pollution can be treated with techniques such as chemical purification, ventilation, isolation, and removing pollutions by plants (phytoremediation). Among these techniques, phytoremediation is not given proper attention and, therefore, is the focus of our review paper. Phytoremediation is an affordable and more environmentally friendly means to purify polluted indoor air. Furthermore, studies show that indoor plants can be used to regulate building temperature, decrease noise levels, and alleviate social stress. Sources of indoor air pollutants and their impact on human health are briefly discussed in this paper. The available literature on phytoremediation, including experimental works for removing volatile organic compound (VOC) and particulate matter from the indoor air and associated challenges and opportunities, are reviewed.
