Detected volatile constituents in studied species were constituted mainly by sesquiterpene, as well as diterpene compounds. All so-established compositions cannot successfully index some of them to known chemotypes but afforded the discovery of new chemotypes such as cuparane/fusicoccane. The major component of B. francana was isolated and characterized as a new zierane-type sesquiterpene called ziera-12(13),10(14)-dien-5-ol (23). In addition, qualitative intraspecies variations of chemical composition were very important particularly for B. francana which possessed three clearly defined different compositions. We report here also the first phytochemical investigation of Acromastigum species. Moreover, crude diethyl ether extract of B. vitatta afforded a new bis(bibenzyl) called vittatin (51), for which a putative biosynthesis was suggested.

Introduction Liverworts are part of Bryoflora (mosses: 14,000 species, liverworts: 6000 species and hornworts: 300 species), considered as the first terrestrial plants and taxonomically indexed between algae and pteridophytes. Bryophytes possess archaic characteristics such as the absence of seeds and vascularized leaves [1]. Morphological traits such as small size of organs or relatively simple structure or high intraspecies variability and fugacity of some microscopic details (which may disappear within the plant dryness such as oil bodies), add difficulties for liverwort’s taxonomic identification. Nevertheless, many liverworts have unique organelles called oil bodies in their cells which are linked to the biosynthesis of original secondary metabolites such as mono-, sesqui- and diterpenes or phenolic compounds that could be cladistic biomarker. Most of liverwort’s sesquiterpenes are enantiomers of those found in higher plants [2].

The thesis is to be used for private study or non-commercial research purposes only. University of Cape Town Addendum (1) Soon after submitting this thesis a more recent comprehensive classification by Crandall-Stotler et al. (2009)1 was published. This recent publication does not undermine the information presented in this thesis. The purpose of including the comprehensive classification of Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000) was specifically to introduce some of the issues regarding the troublesome classification of this group of plants. Crandall-Stotler and Stotler (2000), Grolle and Long (2000) for Europe and Macaronesia and Schuster (2002) for Austral Hepaticae represent three previously widely used yet differing opinions regarding Lophoziaceae classification. They thus reflect a useful account of some of the motivation for initiating this project in the first place. (2) Concurrently or soon after chapter 2 was published by de Roo et al. (2007)2 more recent relevant papers were published. These include Heinrichs et al. (2007) already referred to in chapter 4, and notably Vilnet et al. (2008)3 examining the phylogeny and systematics of the genus Lophozia s. str. The plethora of new information regarding taxa included in this thesis is encouraging and with each new publication we gain insight and a clearer understanding these fascinating little plants.

  • Molecular Insights Into the Phylogeny of the Leafy Liverwort Family Lophoziaceae Cavers
    TAXON 56 (2) • May 2007: 301–314 De Roo & al. • Molecular phylogeny of Lophoziaceae MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS Molecular insights into the phylogeny of the leafy liverwort family Lophoziaceae Cavers Ryan Thomas de Roo1, Terry A. Hedderson1 & Lars Söderström2 1 Bolus Herbarium, Department of Botany, University of Cape Town, Private Bag, Rondebosch 7701, South Africa. [email protected] (author of correspondence) 2 Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway Delimitation and classification of the large, cosmopolitan liverwort family Lophoziaceae is controversial. Many recent workers have included it in Jungermanniaceae, and even in its strictest sense, internal classifica- tion has varied widely among different treatments. We analyse variation in DNA sequences of the chloroplast rps4 gene and the trnG intron to provide resolution of phylogenetic relationships in the leafy liverworts with emphasis on the various elements usually placed in Lophoziaceae. The following conclusions are drawn. Lophoziaceae is not closely related to Jungermanniaceae. Lophoziaceae, and perhaps also Cephaloziellaceae, should be included in Scapaniaceae unless many small families are recognised. Delavayella and Blepharido- phyllum are excluded from Scapaniaceae. Jamesonielloideae is a family of its own (Jamesoniellaceae) sister to Adelanthaceae (or a subfamily of Adelanthaceae). The genus Anastrophyllum should be split into Anastrophyl- lum and Sphenolobus. Lophozia is polyphyletic and the genera Isopaches and Schistochilopsis, and perhaps Obtusifolium, should be recognised while L. sudetica could be transferred to Barbilophozia. Barbilophozia s.str. is monophyletic while Orthocaulis is polyphyletic with the four sampled species appearing in 3 different clades; their relationships are poorly resolved. Lophozia silvicola Buch is clearly separated from L.

  • Checklist of the Bryophytes of Tamil Nadu, India 1
    Checklist of the bryophytes of Tamil Nadu, India 1 Checklist of the bryophytes of Tamil Nadu, India A. E. D. Daniels Botany Department, Scott Christian College, Nagercoil - 629 003, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract: The checklist reports 712 taxa of bryophytes from Tamil Nadu, India, comprising 211 taxa in 56 genera and 32 families of liverworts, 8 taxa in 4 genera and 2 families of hornworts, and 493 taxa in 189 genera and 44 families of mosses. Literature sources for Tamil Nadu records are included for each taxon, and an extensive synonymy is provided. For currently accepted taxa, the details of types from Tamil Nadu are indicated. A map of Tamil Nadu, a synopsis of families and genera, and a bibliography are provided. INTRODUCTION India is one of the 12 megabiodiversity countries in the world (Nayar, 1996). The large area and the variety of phytoclimatic conditions met within its different biogeographical zones contribute to the great diversity of the Indian flora (Singh, 1997; 2001). These biogeographical zones, with diverse topographical variations and climatic conditions, have been divided into seven bryogeographical regions. They are (1) Western Himalayas, (2) Eastern Himalayas, (3) Punjab and West Rajasthan, (4) Gangetic Plains, (5) Central India, (6) Western and Eastern Ghats and (7) Deccan Plateau (Pandé 1958). Recently, Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal have been proposed as the eighth region to be included (Singh & Semwal, 1995). Currently, about 2480 taxa of bryophytes (including infraspecific taxa) are reported from India (including island groups, and Sikkim), comprising about 722 taxa of liverworts in 128 genera and 52 families, 36 taxa in 6 genera and 2 families of hornworts (M.J.Wigginton database) and about 1623 taxa in 342 genera and 57 families of mosses (Lal, 2005).
