Moerman Native American Ethnobotanv Timber Press, 1998. ABSTRACT Echinacea Moench (Asteraceae) is a native North American plant genus with a long history of use as phytomedicine in both the Indigenous and European traditions (Shemluck 1982; Bauer 1998). A taxonomic revision of the genus Echinacea was conducted for the first time using morphometric analysis of natural populations sampled throughout the entire genus range. Individual plants were grouped without a priori taxonomic labeling, by morphological similarity using non-hierarchical and hierarchical, agglomerative clustering strategies. Canonical discriminant analysis (CDA) supported the distinction of two new subgenera, four species and eight varieties in the genus according to overall morphological similarity. When the sarne dataset was labeled a prion' according to McGregor's taxonomy (1968), his taxa were supported (with the exception of one variety) at the variety level. The new morpho-taxa were sufficiently distinguished by CDA of phytochemical variation (except for two varieties). Also, a class of outliers (including artificial hybrids) was not supported in either dataset as a taxon, and was therefore classified as 'hybrids/intro~essants'.In the most parsirnonious cladistic solution, one new subgenus was basally divergent to a clade of al1 others (70% bootstrap value) and al1 four species were distinguishable by at least one synapomorphy. Phytochemical profiles and average content of each known compound were reported here for the fmt thefrom al1 taxa of Echinacea, and revealed that five diene alkamides, one polyyne and two phenolic compounds (cichonc acid and echinacoside) were al1 chemotaxonomic markers within the genus Echinacea. Some of the same chemotaxonomic markers contributed heavily to the quantitative multivariate analysis of 26 phytochemicals, which identified five chernotypes among nine wild populations of the revised E. pallida var. angustfoiïa in a controlled greenhouse study. The alkamides and polyynes were also induced to higher concentrations in young roots of E. pallida (Nutt.) Nutt., that were sprayed with methyl jasmonate. Furthemore, plant extracts of the Echinacea taxa were variably phototoxic to clinically relevant pathogenic fûngi, such as Candida spp. The different phototoxic activities be~eenEchinacea taxa reflected the observed phytochemical variation, especially in the polyynes. Antiviral activity to Herpes simplex was linked to the presence of polyynes and cichoric acid in fiactionated Echinacea root and inflorescence extracts. Echinacea Moench (Asteraceae) est un genre de plantes indigènes en l'Amérique du Nord qui a été une source de phytomédicamments dans les systèmes de medicine traditionelle chez les autochtones et aussi en Europe (Shernluck 1982; Bauer 1998). Une revision systématique du genre Echinacea Moench (Asteraceae) a été menée pour la première fois avec l'analyse morphométrique des populations naturelles représentant la variation géographique totale du genre. L'étude de ce genre est significative pour la compréhension et la protection de ses populations naturelles en face de son importance économique et pharmacologiqw. L'analyse 'Canonical Discriminant Analysis" (CDA) a vérifié les groupes de plantes classifiés selon des méthodes agglomératives, hiérarchiques ' et non-hiérarchiques, sans identification a prion'. Deux sous-genres, quatre espèces et huit variétés ont été délimités par les calculs de similarité morphologique, et vérifiés en utilisant CDA. Une analyse préliminaire avec les données de cette étude a été menée selon la taxonomie de McGregor (1968), le seul à étudier le genre complet; elle a résulté à la prise en compte des taxa de McGregor comme variétés (sauf une de ses variétés). De plus, les taxa morphologiques ont été aussi déterminés sur des variations phytochimiques par CDA (sauf deux variétés). Mais, les spécimens qui restaient hors de la classification morphométrique n'étaient pas soutenus par le test CDA pour former un nouveau taxon, ils ont donc été classés comme hybrides ou introgressants (ce qui inclut les hybrides artificiels). Une analyse cladistique des quatres espèces de la taxonomie présente a démontré qu'elles se distinguaient par au moins une apomorphie (souvent plus) et les deux sous-genres divergaient plus fortement (70% "bootstrap"). La composition chimique a été identifiée pour la première fois pour tous les taxa du genre Echinacea : 26 composés dans lesquels se sont révélés comme marqueurs chimiotaxonomiques, cinq alkamides, une polype et deux composés phénoliques (l'acide cichorique et I'échinacoside). Parmi ceux- ci, quelques-uns ont contribué le plus à l'ordination par CDA de la variation quantitative dans une expérience en serre identifiant cinq chimiotypes parmi neuf populations sauvages de la variété E. paliida (Nutt.) Nutt. var. angtl~tr~liaDC. Cronq. (nom révisé). La concentration de certains composés aikamides et polyynes augmente dans les jeunes racines d'E. pallida (Nutt.) Nutt. var. pallida par traitement avec l'hormone méthyle jasmonate. Enfin, une activité phototoxique contre des souches pathogènes fongiques comme le Candida spp., et contre le virus Herpes simplex, a été démontrée dans les extraits d'Echinacea. Grâce aux différences dans la composition chimique des extraits, surtout des alkamides et polypes, les taxa ici-révisés possédent chacun des activités antimicrobie~esuniques. 1 would like to dedicate this work with enthusiasm to the growing medicinai plant community, and to al1 our ancestors who fostered the wisdom of ecological awareness and relationships. 1 offer heartfelt thanks to my parents, my brother, my farnily, my niends and al1 my grandmothers for their spirit, creativity and encouragement.

Langer Institute of Pharmacognosy, University of Vienna Center of Pharmacy, Althanstrasse 14, A - 1090 Vienna, Austria Improved descriptions and detailed drawings of the most important anatomical characters of the roots of Echinacea purpurea (L.) MOENCH,E. angustifolia DC., E. pallida (NuTT.) NUTT.,and of Parfhenium integrifolium L. are presented. The anatomy of the rhizome of E. purpurea, which was detected in commercial samples, and of the root of E. atrorubens NUTT., another known adulteration for pharmaceutically used Echinacea-species, is documented for the first time. The possibilities and limitations of the identification by means of microscopy are discussed. The anatomical differences between the roots of E. angustifolia, E. pallida and E. atrorubens are not sufficient for differentiation, however, root and rhizome of E. purpurea and the root of Parthenium integrifolium appear well characterized. Because of the highly similar anatomy the microscopic proof of identity and purity of crude drugs of Echinacea must be done with uncomminuted material and the examination of cross sections. (Keywords: Echinacea angustifolia, Echinacea atrorubens, Echinacea pallida, Echinacea purpurea, Parthenium integrifolium, Asteraceae, microscopy, anatomy, identification) 1. Introduction The first, and for a long period only, detailed anatomical descriptions of the underground parts of Echinacea were published at the beginning of the last century', '. Due to later changes in the taxonomy within the genus Echinacea, unfortunately the plant sources for these descriptions remain unclear. The increasing interest in Echinacea and the adulterations that had been observed frequently caused Heubl et aL3 in the late eighties to examine the roots of E.

    RESEARCH REPORT Echinacea FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION Sam Hoadley, Manager of Horticultural Research INTRODUCTION Skipper butterfly feeding on Echinacea ‘Glowing Dream’ 2 ECHINACEA FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC ECHINACEA, COMMONLY KNOWN AS CONEFLOWERS, are among the most iconic and recognizable native plants in North America. The earliest documented horticultural use of Echinacea can be traced to the late 17th century when Echinacea purpurea seeds were sent to England by the Virginia clergyman and naturalist John Banister. Medicinal use dates back even further as Native Americans used Echinacea to treat a variety of ailments, a tradition that has carried into modern times. Echinacea has enjoyed continued popularity for treating colds and for boosting the immune system. Although there is little scientific evidence of its benefits, Echinacea is currently one of the most popular commercially traded herbal supplements. The nine species of Echinacea are North American natives and predominantly occur in the central and eastern United States. The majority of wild coneflowers display pink, purple, and rarely white flowers from late spring to summer. Only one species, Echinacea paradoxa, breaks this color trend and produces canary yellow blooms in June. Dr. Jim Ault of the Chicago Botanic Garden was among the first plant breeders to intentionally cross multiple species in the 1990s. Since that time, the breeding and selection of coneflower species has further unlocked the horticultural potential of this genus resulting in a staggering variety of new cultivars in American and European horticultural markets. Today, Echinacea are available in an array of colors including, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and even green.
