    Las Especies Del Género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) Cultivadas En España

    Las especies del género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) cultivadas en España © 2008-2019 José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres www.arbolesornamentales.es El género Alyogyne Alef. comprende arbustos perennes, con indumento denso o de pelos esparcidos, con las hojas alternas, pecioladas, enteras, palmatilobadas o muy divididas, con estípulas diminutas y caedizas. Las flores son solitarias, axilares, sobre pedicelos largos y articulados. El epicáliz posee 4-10(-12) segmentos unidos en la base; el cáliz consta de 5 sépalos, más largos que el epicáliz, y la corola es más o menos acampanada, regular, formada por 5 pétalos obovados de color blan- co, rosa, lila o púrpura, adnatos a la base de la columna estaminal, cubiertos de pelos estrellados externamente. El androceo posee numerosos estambres (50-100) dispuestos en verticilos, con los filamentos unidos formando una columna que rodea al estilo, y las anteras uniloculares, dehiscentes por suturas longitudinales. El gineceo posee un ovario súpero, con 3-5 lóculos, cada uno de los cuales encierra 3-10 rudimentos seminales. Los estilos están unidos casi hasta el ápice, dividiéndose finalmente en 5 estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula dehis- cente por 3-5 valvas, conteniendo numerosas semillas (3-50) de pequeño tamaño, reniformes o globosas, glabras o pelosas. El nombre procede del griego alytos = unido y gyne = mujer, en alu- sión a los estilos unidos. Según Lewton (1915), el nombre debería ser Allogyne, del griego állos = otro, diferente y gyne = mujer, hembra, en alusión a la diferencia con Hibiscus en cuanto a los estilos. Realmente esta es la gran diferencia con el género Hibiscus, donde los estilos se separan por debajo de los estigmas, mientras que en Alyogyne están unidos justo hasta llegar a los estig- mas, momento en que se dividen.

Its fruit and leaves exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and are used for their content of essential oils and for their medicinal properties, but most commonly as an ingredient in locally made liquor. The uncontrolled exploitation of natural stands has reduced both the species' geographical coverage and the size of individual populations. The selection of genotypes for controlled cultivation requires a characterization of the genetic diversity present both within and between populations. Results: Genotypic variation was evaluated using ISSR profiling and genetic diversity characterized using standard population genetics approaches. Two major clusters were identified: one capturing all the candidate cultivars selected from various Sardinian localities, and the other wild individuals collected from Asinara, Corsica and Surigheddu. A moderate level of gene flow between the Sardinian and Corsican populations was identified. Discriminant analysis of principal components revealed a level of separation among the wild populations, confirming the population structure identified by the clustering methods.

    AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY HIBISCUS AND RELATED GENERA STUDY GROUP JULY 2012 NEWSLETTER No. 26 : ISSN 1488-1488 In this newsletter we are looking at Hibiscus meraukensis, which is the most common species found throughout tropical Australia. It has a long history dating right back to Captain Cook’s voyage along the Australian east coast during 1770. 1 The Captain Cook image + vest image on the cover page accompanied a news article written by Suzanne Dorfield appearing in the Courier – Mail Newspaper last September. It was reported that the 18 th century vest was made by James Cook’s wife, Elizabeth for her husband’s return to England and is embroided with Cape York Hibiscus flowers. David Hockings and myself looked at an enlargement of the image and decided that the Hibiscus was most likely Hibiscus meraukensis . Experts believe that she looked at drawings of the flowers by Joseph Banks from the ships landings, making it a rare piece of Queensland’s history. This important artefact was put up for auction in New Zealand and was apparently ‘passed in’. The second image depicts Hibiscus meraukensis on an Australian postage stamp issued on 12 th March 1986. Spring Meeting Planning is underway for a Study Group Meeting on Saturday 29 th of September. Beverley Kapernick of 188 Allen Road, Chatsworth, Gympie 4570 has kindly offered to host this meeting. Please try and arrive between 10 and 10.30 am. She has proposed a BBQ lunch at $5.00 per head to follow on from a short meeting in the morning. Please bring salads or sweets.

Their valuable therapeutic properties have stimulated a fruitful research activity addressed to the identification of the bioactive components of their extracts yielding a great diversity of terpenes; polyphenols; and other exclusive products. Among the latter, starting with the discovery of myrtucommulone A from myrtle (Myrtus communis), a series of structurally-related acylphloroglucinol compounds have been characterized from several species that represent the basic active principles to be considered in view of possible drug development. Aspects concerning chemical and biological properties of these products are reviewed in the present paper. Keywords: myrtucommulone; acylphloroglucinols; Myrtaceae; plant extracts; biological activities 1. Introduction Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is a typical shrub of maquis and coastal bushes native of the Mediterranean area and Western Asia. It is well-known in traditional medicine, and for centuries its leaves and berries have found ethnomedical application in the treatment of several disorders of the digestive apparatus, as well as pulmonary and skin diseases [1,2].

    The Forgotten Myrtle of the Alhambra Gardens of Granada: Restoring and Authenticating World Heritage

    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2016) Vol. 18: 1975-1983 RESEARCH NOTES The Forgotten Myrtle of the Alhambra Gardens of Granada: Restoring and Authenticating World Heritage R. De la Herrán 1, M. Casares 2, F. Robles 1, J. Tito 3, R. Navajas-Pérez 1, M. J. Molina- Luzón 1, M. de los Reyes Gonzalez-Tejero 2, P. J. Sola-Campoy 1, A. Gutiérrez-Guerrero 1, ∗ and J. C. Ruiz-Rejón 1 ABSTRACT In the Alhambra (Granada, Spain), and in other Moorish locations, several individuals of the original variety of myrtle, the emblematic plant of their gardens, have been identified and genetically authenticated. After microsatellite analysis, we differentiated between the wild form ( Myrtus communis L.) and two cultivated varieties: the one original to the Alhambra, the Moorish myrtle (subsp. baetica ), and the variety introduced in more modern times (subsp. tarentina ). The genetic and morphological differences between these two varieties confirm the taxonomic distinctness of the subsp. baetica . With very few individuals known, this Moorish myrtle is on the verge of extinction. The genetic identification offers the opportunity to restore a key element of this 14th-century garden and enhance the authenticity of a World Heritage site. Keywords : Alhambra, Microsatellite, Mirtus communis , Subspecies, Taxon. INTRODUCTION In 1943, the gardens of the Alhambra and the surrounding area of Generalife were The Alhambra, one of the largest designated as Historical Gardens, and in medieval complexes surviving in Europe, 1984 UNESCO declared them a World originally had a fortress, several palaces and Heritage site. In fact, these gardens may be an aristocratic quarter, surrounded by among the oldest in Europe and, since orchards and gardens.
