  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Wildflower Growing Guide Rewilding Project
    Wildflower Growing Guide Rewilding Project The flowers that are included in the Pharmabees seed mix are below: Common Knapweed Corn Marigold Oxeye Daisy White Campion Dandelion Corn Poppy Corn Chamomile Cornflower White Clover Bluebell These flowers were chosen by the Pharmabees team. These flowers have been identified as part of a University research project to develop a wild flower seed mix which can be used to support pollinators and to promote biodiversity. These flowers have been identified through our research on honey. Honey with high antibacterial activity was analysed. The pollens found in the honey were identified through DNA analysis. We were able to identify the flowers in your seed mix. We are conducting additional research on these plants and need your help. Please monitor your growing area and watch your flowers grow. We will be asking you to monitor your growing area for pollinators, and to collect some additional data for us. Thank you for being an important part of our research! Instructions: Choose a growing area around 1 meter squared. Firstly, remove all weeds, grass, and other plants. It is very important to remove weeds such as nettles, thistles, and Japanese knotweed. These weeds and grasses grow quickly, and will overtake your wildflower seeds if not removed. Cultivate the growing site to a depth of around 10cm. This can be done with a rake, or on large areas a plough. Sowing can take place throughout most of the year. The months of March/April/August and September are generally most suited. Mix the seeds before spreading. Ensure all the seed is mixed to ensure an even spread.

  • Plant Polyphenols As Antioxidants Influencing the Human Health
    9 Plant Polyphenols as Antioxidants Influencing the Human Health Sanda Vladimir-Knežević, Biljana Blažeković, Maja Bival Štefan and Marija Babac University of Zagreb, Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, Croatia 1. Introduction Widely distributed in plant kingdom and abundant in our diet plant polyphenols are today among the most talked about concerning the classes of phytochemicals. There are several thousand plant-derived compounds of biogical interest that have more than one phenolic hydroxyl group attached to one or more benzene rings, thus qualifying as polyphenols. In recent years, polyphenols have gained a lot of importance because of their potential use as prophylactic and therapeutic agents in many diseases, and much work has been presented by the scientific community which focuses on their antioxidant effects. Traditionally, herbal medicines with antioxidant properties have been used for various purposes and epidemiological data also point at widespread acceptance and use of these agents. Plant polyphenols have been studied with intention to find compounds protecting against a number of diseases related to oxidative stress and free radical-induced damage, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and some inflammatory diseases. In order to evaluate the efficacy of polyphenols as antioxidants as well as to elucidate the mode of their action, researchers today are using a wide range of experimental models, from the simplest chemical antioxidant assays through the biologically more relevant cellular-based assays to the most accurate animal models, and ultimately clinical studies in humans. The latest scientific knowledge offers a more detailed understanding of the biological effects of polyphenols and their role in human health promotion and disease prevention.

  • In Northeast India by Centaurea Cyanus L
    ISSN. 0972 - 8406 The NEHU Journal, Vol. XVIII, No.1, January-June 2020, pp. 100-111 First record of new ‘invasion’ in northeast India by Centaurea cyanus L. (Asteraceae) Uma Shankar Department of Botany, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India (Email: [email protected]) Abstract The region of northeast India boasts sizeable flora of non-native species which has ar- rived during last few centuries. Whilst several of these species have escaped in wild and naturalized, others have mingled in the flora and remain oblivious. Some species have gained dominance and replaced native flora and these are considered “invasive”. This article reports the first record of an herbaceous plant, Centaurea cyanus L. of Asteraceae family from northeast India. The plant was found in the summer of 2020 in the cam- pus of North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong while it was competing with several other non-native species on poor substratum. An extensive search in the floras of the region revealed that the plant has not been reported previously. It is probable that the plant has arrived here either as a companion with the supplies of packaged seeds of garden flow- ers procured by the residents from various sources or through some other carrier from nearby villages where it has made presence. Only time will answer if the plant remains oblivious or turns invasive. Keywords: Centaurea cyanus, cornflower, invasive species, medicinal plants. Introduction The flora of northeastern region of India has been invaded by a number of plants during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The invading species predominantly belong to Asteraceae and are detected only after they have gained dominance in the landscape (Shankar et al., 2011).

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.
