Wetland Plants This Plant List Shows Many of the Common Species That Are Found in Wetlands and That Are Available from Nurseries on the Wetland Plant Suppliers List Wetland Plants This plant list shows many of the common species that are found in wetlands and that are available from nurseries on the Wetland Plant Suppliers list. The wetland indicator status refers to how frequently a species is found in wetlands out of the range of habitats the species will grow in. The abbreviations for status in the table stand for: OBL - Obligate >99% occurrence in wetlands FACW - Facultative Wetland 66-99% occurrence in wetlands FAC - Facultative 33-66% occurrence in wetlands FACU - Facultative Upland 1-33% occurrence in wetlands A positive sign indicates a frequency toward the higher end of the category (more frequently found in wetlands), and a negative sign indicates a frequency toward the lower end of the category (less frequently found in wetlands). The wetland indicator status was found in the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 Maryland. The area of the state in which species occur commonly as natives are also shown. The following abbreviations refer to physiographic regions of the state: S - Statewide A - Allegheny Mountain Section (Garrett County) R - Ridge and Valley Section (Allegany, Washington, and western Frederick Counties) P - Piedmont Section (eastern Frederick, Carroll, Montgomery, Howard, northern and central Baltimore and Harford, and northern Cecil Counties) C - Coastal Plain Section (St.

CEP: 68.040-255. <[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]>. ABSTRACT – Cyperus articulatus L., belonging to the Cyperaceae family, is a plant species that has almost insignificant flowers at its ends. The stalks of the species produce tubers that, when cut, give off a fresh, woody and spicy smell; they are traditionally used in baths and in the manufacture of artisanal colonies in northern Brazil. In addition to use in cosmetics and perfumery, the plant also has medicinal and pharmacological properties. Among the pharmacological properties are the antimalarial, sedative, hepatoprotective, contraceptive effects on the central nervous system (CNS), insecticide, antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, anticonvulsant, anthococcosis. The metabolites found related to the mentioned activities were cyperotundone, alpha-cyperone, mustacone for antimalarial activity in the chloroform extract of the priprioca rhizomes.

  • Appendix 1 Vernacular Names
    Appendix 1 Vernacular Names The vernacular names listed below have been collected from the literature. Few have phonetic spellings. Spelling is not helped by the difficulties of transcribing unwritten languages into European syllables and Roman script. Some languages have several names for the same species. Further complications arise from the various dialects and corruptions within a language, and use of names borrowed from other languages. Where the people are bilingual the person recording the name may fail to check which language it comes from. For example, in northern Sahel where Arabic is the lingua franca, the recorded names, supposedly Arabic, include a number from local languages. Sometimes the same name may be used for several species. For example, kiri is the Susu name for both Adansonia digitata and Drypetes afzelii. There is nothing unusual about such complications. For example, Grigson (1955) cites 52 English synonyms for the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the British Isles, and also mentions several examples of the same vernacular name applying to different species. Even Theophrastus in c. 300 BC complained that there were three plants called strykhnos, which were edible, soporific or hallucinogenic (Hort 1916). Languages and history are linked and it is hoped that understanding how lan- guages spread will lead to the discovery of the historical origins of some of the vernacular names for the baobab. The classification followed here is that of Gordon (2005) updated and edited by Blench (2005, personal communication). Alternative family names are shown in square brackets, dialects in parenthesis. Superscript Arabic numbers refer to references to the vernacular names; Roman numbers refer to further information in Section 4.

  • Dryopteris Carthusiana (Vill.) H.P
    Dryopteris carthusiana (Vill.) H.P. Fuchs Dryopteris carthusiana toothed wood fern toothed wood fern Dryopteridaceae (Wood Fern Family) Status: State Review Group 1 Rank: G5S2? General Description: Adapted from the Flora of North America (1993): The stalk of this fern is ¼-1/3 the length of the leaf and scaly at the base. The fronds are light green, coarsely cut, relatively narrow, ovate-lanceolate in outline, and 6 to 30 in. (1.5-7.6 dm) long by 4 to 12 in. (1-3 dm) wide. The leaves are not persistent, except in years with mild winters. The leaflets are lanceolate-oblong; the lower leaflets are more lanceolate-triangular and are slightly reduced. The leaflet margins are serrate and the teeth spiny. Sori (spore clusters) are midway between the midvein and margin of segments. Identification Tips: Three other species of Dryopteris occur in this region, including D. arguta, D. filix-mas, and D. expansa, although only D. expansa has been found in association with D. carthusiana. D. carthusiana is distinguished from D. expansa by the color and shape of the frond. D. carthusiana has a duller, light green color, while D. expansa has a glossier, dark green frond color. D. carthusiana has a relatively narrow and ovate-lanceolate blade. D. expansa typically has a triangular shaped blade, with the lowest leaflets distinctly larger than succeeding pairs. The lowest leaflets of D. carthusiana blades are little, if any, larger than adjacent pairs and less deeply dissected than D. expansa tends to be. No hybrids between these two have been found. A technical key is recommended for identification.

Cyperus esculentus L. is one of the therapeutically implicated botanicals against several degenerative diseases including diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated the antioxidant and mechanism(s) of inhibitory potential of aqueous extract of C. esculentus on α-amylase and α-glucosidase in vitro. The extract was investigated for its radical scavenging and hypoglycaemic potentials using standard experimental procedures. Lineweaver-Burke plot was used to predict the manner in which the enzymes were inhibited. Results: The data obtained revealed that the extract moderately and potently inhibited the specific activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, respectively. The inhibition was concentration-related with respective IC50 values of 5.19 and 0.78 mg/mL relative to that of the control (3.72 and 3.55 mg/mL).

España ABSTRACT Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.), also known as chufa (European sedge), is a member of the Cyperaceae family, which is used in organic and conventional agriculture for its small edible tubers and grown in temperate and tropical zones of the world being consumed raw, roasted or pressed for its juice as beverage. The aim of this study is analyzing the proximate composition (AOAC methods), total phenolic content (Folin-Ciocalteu method), total antioxidant capacity (Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, TEAC) and microbiological profile (International Standard Organization norms, ISO) of samples of Spanish organic and conventional, Nigerian conventional and unknown origin tiger nuts obtained from supermarkets and local markets in Spain. No significant differences in proximate composition and antioxidant properties were found between Spanish organic and conventional tiger-nuts, except in total phenolic level (p<0.005). No significant differences were found in all samples about ash, lipid, total sugar and carbohydrate values, but significant differences (p<0.005) were found for moisture, protein, fiber and antioxidant capacity between Spanish samples and Nigerian or unknown origin samples.
