This paper presents a review of scientific studies analyzing the biological properties of different species of Cistus sp. Materials and methods. Forty papers that discuss the current research of Cistus sp. as phytotherapeutic agent were used for this discussion. Literature analysis. The results of scientific research indicate that extracts from various species of Cistus sp. exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, cytotoxic and anticancer properties. These properties give rise to the pos- sibility of using Cistus sp. as a therapeutic agent supporting many therapies.

However, a detailed analysis of their biological properties and their associated active compounds is needed to justify their therapeutic use in modern medicine. The aim of the study was to identify and quantify the phenolics present in hydromethanolic extracts of the roots and shoots of the Chinese Salvia species, Salvia bulleyana. The qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection (UHPLC-PDA-ESI-MS), and high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array (HPLC-PDA) detection. The extracts of S. bulleyana were also screened for their antioxidant activity using ferric ion (Fe3+) reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), diammonium 2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) cation (ABTS), superoxide radical anion (O ), and inhibition of lipid peroxidation assays.

A cheerful addition to the garden. Flowers are typical of the species, beginning in May and continuing sporadically throughout the season. Best in sun -- they tend to be leggy in shade -- with average summer water. Frost hardy to -20F, USDA zone 6. $14 Caprifoliaceae Abutilon 'Savitzii' flowering maple One of the few abutilons we sell that is quite tender. Grown since the 1800s for its wild variegation -- the leaves large and pale, almost white with occasional green blotches -- and long, salmon-orange, peduncled flowers. A medium grower, to 4-6 ft tall, needing consistent water and nutrients in sun to part shade. Winter mulch increases frost hardiness as does some overstory. Frost hardy to 25 F, mid USDA zone 9. Where temperatures drop lower, best in a container or as cuttings to overwinter. Well worth the trouble! $9 Malvaceae Acanthus sennii A most unusual and striking species from the highlands of Ethiopia, a shrub to 3 ft or more with silvery green leaves to about 3" wide, ruffle edged and spined, and spikes of nearly red flowers in summer and autumn.

    Salvia Ananas È Una Pianta Erbacea Perenne, Alta Fino a 120- 150 Cm

    FAMIGLIA BOTANICA: Appartiene alla famiglia delle lamiaceae. ETIMOLGIA: Deve il proprio nome al profumo ed alla forma delle sue foglie. DESCRIZIONE: La salvia ananas è una pianta erbacea perenne, alta fino a 120- 150 cm. e larga fino a 90-100 cm., originaria del Messico e del Gautemala, dove vive nelle foreste di pino e di quercia ad un’altitudine di 1800-2700 metri. È una pianta tropicale ma allo stesso tempo semi-rustica e può essere coltivata facilmente anche alle nostre latitudini. Se coltivata in piena terra, con le gelate invernali muore la parte aerea ma proteggendo l’apparato radicale con foglie secche o paglia, rigermoglierà a primavera. In alternativa la salvia ananas SALVIA può essere coltivata in vaso e ritirata in un luogo fresco e luminoso come un garage o una veranda, dove la temperatura non scende sotto i 5°C. ANANAS Esige un’esposizione soleggiata e terreni asciutti e ben drenati in quanto le radici non tollerano l’eccesso di umidità. Le sue foglie sono particolarmente decorative per via della loro forma ovale e appuntita, di color verde chiaro. NOME SCIENTIFICO: Salvia elegans PERIODO DI FIORITURA E DI RACCOLTA: I fiori, tubolari, raccolti in spighe scarlatte molto leggere, sbocciano a fine estate e persistono fino all’autunno inoltrato anche se la raccolta delle foglie può avvenire durante tutto l’anno. Dominio: Eukaryota PROPRIETA’: Regno: Plantae Proprietà antisettiche, antispasmodiche e diuretiche, proprie Divisione: Magnoliophyta della salvia e dei fiori dal colore rosso scarlatto, di questa particolare varietà più comunemente conosciuta come salvia Classe: Magnoliopsida ananas, per l’intenso aroma di ananas che sprigionano le foglie se stropicciate.

Academic Editors: Carmen Formisano, Vincenzo De Feo and Filomena Nazzaro Received: 5 March 2020; Accepted: 27 March 2020; Published: 28 March 2020 Abstract: On the basis of the side effects of detrimental synthetic chemicals, introducing healthy, available, and effective bioagents for pest management is critical. Due to this circumstance, several studies have been conducted that evaluate the pesticidal potency of plant-derived essential oils. This review presents the pesticidal efficiency of essential oils isolated from different genera of the Lamiaceae family including Agastache Gronovius, Hyptis Jacquin, Lavandula L., Lepechinia Willdenow, Mentha L., Melissa L., Ocimum L., Origanum L., Perilla L., Perovskia Kar., Phlomis L., Rosmarinus L., Salvia L., Satureja L., Teucrium L., Thymus L., Zataria Boissier, and Zhumeria Rech. Along with acute toxicity, the sublethal effects were illustrated such as repellency, antifeedant activity, and adverse effects on the protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents, and on the esterase and glutathione S-transferase enzymes. Chemical profiles of the introduced essential oils and the pesticidal effects of their main components have also been documented including terpenes (hydrocarbon monoterpene, monoterpenoid, hydrocarbon sesquiterpene, and sesquiterpenoid) and aliphatic phenylpropanoid.

    Fire Persistence Mechanisms in Mediterranean Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences

    Fire persistence mechanisms in Mediterranean plants: ecological and evolutionary consequences Memoria presentada por: Bruno Ricardo Jesus Moreira Para optar al grado de doctor en Ciencias Biológicas Departamento de Ecología, Universidad de Alicante Director de tesis: Dr. Juli G. Pausas Alicante, Diciembre de 2012. Acknowledgments Numerous people were involved and contributed in many ways to the completion of this thesis. Firstly I would like to thank to Juli, my scientific advisor. He is sincerely thanked for his good advices, the encouragement and help in this thesis. This thesis was definitively a starting point where first steps towards the realisation of my future career were taken. As I have written elsewhere, “I was supervised by an outstanding researcher which inculcated me independent thinking and encouraged to openly question his opinions and suggestions with scientific arguments (…) Although, under the careful supervision of my supervisor, I was expected to lead my research, define the project goals, methodologies and main milestones to achieve.” I am really glad and proud that all of this is true. Susana has been of utmost importance for my Ph.D. She has been my role model since from the beginning; a model for friendship, dedication, scientific rigour, suffering capacity and perseverance. I know I always could count on her and that I will always can. I would also like to thank the people at CEAM and CIDE for their company and support, especially to my office mates and all the students and research assistants that passed by and which help was invaluable. Particularly to the ones who had to work with me for endless hours in the field and/or laboratory.
