New combinations and new names in Malagasy Asclepiadoideae (Apocynaceae) Sigrid LIEDE & Ulrich MEVE Dept. of Plant Systematics, University of Bayreuth, 95440 Bayreuth, Germany. [email protected] ABSTRACT KEY WORDS In the genus Pentatropis, P. madagascariensis is recognized as a subspecies of Apocynaceae, P. nivalis. In the stem-succulent species of Cynanchum, C. bekinolense is Asclepiadoideae, considered a northern subspecies of C. gerrardii. All species of Folotsia, Pentatropis, Cynanchum, Karimbolea and Platykeleba, as well as the Malagasy species of Sarcostemma, Madagascar. are formally transferred to Cynanchum.

Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination.

Abstract The results from this research are based on historical data and data from herbarium co- llections prepared by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimé Bonpland in 1802 in the city of Quito and its surroundings. In the research, 142 species from the Humboldt and Bonpland’s collections have been selected because of their patrimonial value for the city’s inhabitants; those species were collected for the first time in this area and the plant collections include type-specimens used to describe the species. Twenty-five species are endemic to Ecuador and from those, Cynanchum serpyllifolium (Asclepiadaceae) has not been found for more than 100 years, while Aetheolaena ledifolia (Asteraceae) and Cyperus multifolius (Cypera- ceae) are only known from their type-collections made in 1802. Almost 80 per cent of the collected species were herbs, which showed the advanced human intervention at the time. These premises help to propose a plan that manages patrimonial plant concepts in Quito and its surrounding towns and to increase the appropriation and valorization processes.

Govt. College Jhunjhunu Abstract: Plant diversity remains essential for human beings, providing numerous modern and traditional remedies to the healthcare system. The vast land of Rajasthan together with its vegetation and flora has a variety of medicinal plants growing in different habitats. The present study aimed to document the preliminary analysis of rare and threatened medicinal plants of Beer Jhunjhunu Conservation Reserve of Rajasthan. The study area is a protected forest area and considered as important in terms of biodiversity. The area harbors rich flora and fauna. However, the rich resources including medicinal plants are disappearing at an alarming rate due to over- exploitation. Therefore, the management of traditional medicinal plant resources has become a matter of urgency. Conservation of the species in natural habitat and artificial regeneration would be the best opinion to recover the species from near extinction.

    Vascular Plants and a Brief History of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands

    United States Department of Agriculture Vascular Plants and a Brief Forest Service Rocky Mountain History of the Kiowa and Rita Research Station General Technical Report Blanca National Grasslands RMRS-GTR-233 December 2009 Donald L. Hazlett, Michael H. Schiebout, and Paulette L. Ford Hazlett, Donald L.; Schiebout, Michael H.; and Ford, Paulette L. 2009. Vascular plants and a brief history of the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS- GTR-233. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 44 p. Abstract Administered by the USDA Forest Service, the Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands occupy 230,000 acres of public land extending from northeastern New Mexico into the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. A mosaic of topographic features including canyons, plateaus, rolling grasslands and outcrops supports a diverse flora. Eight hundred twenty six (826) species of vascular plant species representing 81 plant families are known to occur on or near these public lands. This report includes a history of the area; ethnobotanical information; an introductory overview of the area including its climate, geology, vegetation, habitats, fauna, and ecological history; and a plant survey and information about the rare, poisonous, and exotic species from the area. A vascular plant checklist of 816 vascular plant taxa in the appendix includes scientific and common names, habitat types, and general distribution data for each species. This list is based on extensive plant collections and available herbarium collections. Authors Donald L. Hazlett is an ethnobotanist, Director of New World Plants and People consulting, and a research associate at the Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver, CO.
