  • Phylogeny of the Tropical Tree Family Dipterocarpaceae Based on Nucleotide Sequences of the Chloroplast Rbcl Gene1
    American Journal of Botany 86(8): 1182±1190. 1999. PHYLOGENY OF THE TROPICAL TREE FAMILY DIPTEROCARPACEAE BASED ON NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES OF THE CHLOROPLAST RBCL GENE1 S. DAYANANDAN,2,6 PETER S. ASHTON,3 SCOTT M. WILLIAMS,4 AND RICHARD B. PRIMACK2 2Biology Department, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts 02215; 3Harvard University Herbaria, 22 Divinity Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138; and 4Division of Biomedical Sciences, Meharry Medical College, 1005 D. B. Todd, Jr. Boulevard, Nashville, Tennessee 37208 The Dipterocarpaceae, well-known trees of the Asian rain forests, have been variously assigned to Malvales and Theales. The family, if the Monotoideae of Africa (30 species) and South America and the Pakaraimoideae of South America (one species) are included, comprises over 500 species. Despite the high diversity and ecological dominance of the Dipterocar- paceae, phylogenetic relationships within the family as well as between dipterocarps and other angiosperm families remain poorly de®ned. We conducted parsimony analyses on rbcL sequences from 35 species to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Dipterocarpaceae. The consensus tree resulting from these analyses shows that the members of Dipterocarpaceae, including Monotes and Pakaraimaea, form a monophyletic group closely related to the family Sarcolaenaceae and are allied to Malvales. The present generic and higher taxon circumscriptions of Dipterocarpaceae are mostly in agreement with this molecular phylogeny with the exception of the genus Hopea, which forms a clade with Shorea sections Anthoshorea and Doona. Phylogenetic placement of Dipterocarpus and Dryobalanops remains unresolved. Further studies involving repre- sentative taxa from Cistaceae, Elaeocarpaceae, Hopea, Shorea, Dipterocarpus, and Dryobalanops will be necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the phylogeny and generic limits of the Dipterocarpaceae.

McLean2 Introduction Uses: tree lawn 3–4 feet wide; tree lawn 4–6 feet wide; tree lawn > 6 ft wide; sidewalk cutout (tree pit); parking lot Lignum vitae is an extremely slow-growing broadleaf island < 100 sq ft; parking lot island 100–200 sq ft; parking evergreen which ultimately reaches 30 feet in height and lot island > 200 sq ft; container or planter; specimen; deck casts light shade, but few people have seen plants of this or patio; Bonsai; highway median size because it is not grown in the trade. Most are seen 8 to 12 feet tall with a beautiful array of multiple trunks and a rounded canopy much like that of a mature crape-myrtle. The one to two-inch-long, leathery, dark green leaves are joined at many times throughout the year by the production of large clusters of bluish purple flowers, the old flowers fading to a light silvery-blue and creating a shimmering haze over the rounded canopy. These flowers are followed by small, heart-shaped, yellow orange berries, appearing on the tree at the same time as the bluish purple flowers and creating a lovely sight.

  • Is Guaiacum Sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? an Ethnobotany
    Is Guaiacum sanctum Effective Against Arthritis? An Ethnobotany Case by Eric Ribbens, Barbra Burdett, and Angela Green Department of Biological Science Western Illinois University Part I—Anecdotal Evidence Dr. Beth Tonoany is a tropical population ecologist who has been studying an unusual tree, Guaiacum sanctum, which once grew throughout the dry tropical forests of Central America as well as on some of the Caribbean islands. Guaiacum sanctum produces a wood called lignum vitae, and is known in Costa Rica and other Spanish-speaking countries as guayacan reál. The wood is extremely heavy because it contains extensive deposits of resin (Howes, 1949) and it will sink if placed in water (Wilson and Eisner, 1968). During World War I and II it was extensively harvested for use in the ship-building industry because the wood, which does not split easily, is self- lubricating due to its high resin content. The wood is very durable, and was in high demand for constructing bearing sleeves to support ship propellor Figure 1: Seeds of shafts (Scurlock, 1987). It has also been used for making railroad ties Guaiacum sanctum (Woods, 1951). Dr. Tonoany has been studying one of the last remaining populations of lignum vitae in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve in northwestern Costa Rica. Probably fewer than 100 trees remain in Costa Rica, most in the Palo Verde Nature Preserve. Her research has included tracking seedlings and saplings, locating and measuring adult trees, and interviewing some of the local Ticos to learn about the tree’s past history in Costa Rica. The tree, while rare now due to the dramatic conversion of tropical deciduous forest in Costa Rica into pasturelands and to selective logging of the tree for its valuable wood, was once more common, and many of the older Ticos remember that the saplings were used to make cattle switches because of the strong flexible wood in the saplings.

  • Guaiacum Sanctum Country – MEXICO Original Language – English
    NDF WORKSHOP CASE STUDIES WG 1 – Trees CASE STUDY 7 Guaiacum sanctum Country – MEXICO Original language – English NON-DETRIMENT FINDINGS REPORT ON GUAIACUM SANCTUM IN MEXICO AUTHORS: Leonel López-Toledo David F.R.P. Burslem Miguel Martínez-Ramos Alejandra García-Naranjo I. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE TAXA 1. BIOLOGICAL DATA 1.1. Scientific and common names Guaiacum sanctum, Linnaeus (1753). Most authors identify four or six species in the genus Guaiacum. Four different synonyms have been recognized for G. sanctum: 1.Guaiacum multijugum Stokes (1812). 2.Guaiacum guatemalense Planch. ex Vail & Rydberg likely to be an hybrid between G. sanctum and G. coulteri (Porter 1972). 3. Guaiacum sloanei Shuttl. ex A. Gray (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). 4.Guaiacum verticale Orteg. (Gray 1897, Vail & Rydberg 1910). Guaiacum sanctum is commonly called lignum vitae in English, and guayacan or palo santo in Spanish. Guaiacum coulteri, a very similar species to G. sanctum, is also called guayacan or lignum vitae. 1.2. Distribution Guaiacum sanctum is found in Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the United States (Florida), Costa Rica, Guatemala, Bahamas, Haiti, Cuba, Honduras, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Turks & Caicos Islands. In some of these countries, G. sanctum has become endangered or is virtually extinct. The Mexican populations cover a greater portion of the species’ natural range than those in any other country. There is no data available for the global population. However, a worldwide analysis of the tropical dry forest estimated a remaining range of 131,087 km2 for North and Central America including Mexico. In general this coincides with presence information of G.

M. B. 1115, Calabar, Nigeria. Accepted 11 January, 2012 Fruits of Phaleria macrocarpa are used in the traditional health system of the Indonesians and lower course of Malaysia, as effective remedy and management for diabetes mellitus. This study therefore investigated the hypoglycemic and anti-hyperglycemic effects of P. macrocarpa extracts in normal and diabetic rats, respectively. The fruits were sequentially extracted in petroleum ether, methanol and water to obtained 3 extracts. Blood glucose response to acute dose of the extracts (1g/kg b.w.) and intra-peritoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) was performed in normal rats and a 12-day anti-hyperglycemic activity study was carried out in diabetic rats. The extracts exerted no effect in acute dose study. However, the methanol and water extracts showed a non significant blood glucose lowering effect between the 30 and 120 min in IPGTT, compared with the normal control. In diabetic rats, methanol extract only, lowered blood glucose by 56.25 and 58.33% (P<0.05) after a 12-day treatment compared with diabetic control (DC) and pre-treatment values, respectively; an effect similar to metformin, glibenclamide and insulin treated groups.

  • Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti for Use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1
    Woody and Herbaceous Plants Native to Haiti For use in Miami-Dade Landscapes1 Haiti occupies the western one third of the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic the remainder. Of all the islands within the Caribbean basin Hispaniola possesses the most varied flora after that of Cuba. The plants contained in this review have been recorded as native to Haiti, though some may now have been extirpated due in large part to severe deforestation. Less than 1.5% of the country’s original tree-cover remains. Haiti’s future is critically tied to re- forestation; loss of tree cover has been so profound that exotic fast growing trees, rather than native species, are being used to halt soil erosion and lessen the risk of mudslides. For more information concerning Haiti’s ecological plight consult references at the end of this document. For present purposes all of the trees listed below are native to Haiti, which is why non-natives such as mango (the most widely planted tree) and other important trees such as citrus, kassod tree (Senna siamea) and lead tree (Leucanea leucocephala) are not included. The latter two trees are among the fast growing species used for re-forestation. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History’s Flora of the West Indies was an invaluable tool in assessing the range of plants native to Haiti. Not surprisingly many of the listed trees and shrubs 1 John McLaughlin Ph.D. U.F./Miami-Dade County Extension Office, Homestead, FL 33030 Page | 1 are found in other parts of the Caribbean with some also native to South Florida.
