This single local name Amarkand to different taxonomical species creates uncertainty Vidyapeeth Deemed about its ethnomedical and nutritional claims. In the present article, we have reviewed available literature University, Pune, regarding ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, taxonomy, nutritional, and pharmacological studies of different Maharashtra, India, Amarkand species. The literature was searched using Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science 2Department of Plant databases. Some textbooks and reference books were also used to collect information about traditional and Molecular and Metabolic ethnopharmacological records. Amarkand species have been used as a remedy for the treatment of various engineering, School of diseases such as diarrhea, stomach pain, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, asthma, bronchitis, sexual impotency, Biotechnology, Yeungnam tuberculosis, and so on. Nutritionally, Amarkand is considered as an excellent food for children and convalescents. University, Gyeongsan, Recent -

Tkü-Mdü«€R£Lpose Rundschreibemderarbeitsgemeinschaft Kakteen Und Andere Sukkulenten in Der Philatelie Gegründet 1987
Z«tkü-mdü«€R£lposE RundschreibemderArbeitsgemeinschaft Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten in der Philatelie gegründet 1987 Jan. / Febr. 2007 Liebe Arge-Mitglieder, kalendarisch soll es ja nun langsam auf den Frühling zugehen. Sie kennen sicher die alte Bauernregel „Wenn es Lichtmeß stürmt und schneit, ist der Frühling nicht mehr weit, ist es aber klar und hell kommt er sicher nicht so schnell". Lassen wir uns am 2. Februar überraschen. Hoffentlich hält sich der Winter in diesem Jahr nicht so lange wie 2006. Unsere Kakteen sind Kinder des Lichts und brauchen Sonne und Wärme. Sonst stellen sie sich die Frage „Was nun, raus mit den Gefühlen oder nicht?" Sollen wir Knospen treiben oder lieber noch warten? Da haben es unsere gezähnten Kakteen einfacher, denen ist das Wetter da draußen gleichgültig, sie schlummern friedlich in unseren Alben und freuen sich, wenn ein Sammler mal das Album aufschlägt und nach seinen Lieblingen aus Papier schaut. ln diesem Sinne wünsche ich lhnen ein blütenreiches Kakteenjahr und viele neue Kakteen- und Sukkulenten-Briefmarken. Vielleicht sehen wir uns ja im Mai in Berlin zu unserem 20jährigen Arge-Jubiläum. Katalog: Ein Abo für die Nachträge Frank Kafi(a Spärlich fließt der Fluss.

Evolutionary History and Leaf Succulence As
Grace et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2015) 15:29 DOI 10.1186/s12862-015-0291-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evolutionary history and leaf succulence as explanations for medicinal use in aloes and the global popularity of Aloe vera Olwen M Grace1,2*, Sven Buerki3, Matthew RE Symonds4, Félix Forest1, Abraham E van Wyk5, Gideon F Smith6,7,8, Ronell R Klopper5,6, Charlotte S Bjorå9, Sophie Neale10, Sebsebe Demissew11, Monique SJ Simmonds1 and Nina Rønsted2 Abstract Background: Aloe vera supports a substantial global trade yet its wild origins, and explanations for its popularity over 500 related Aloe species in one of the world’s largest succulent groups, have remained uncertain. We developed an explicit phylogenetic framework to explore links between the rich traditions of medicinal use and leaf succulence in aloes. Results: The phylogenetic hypothesis clarifies the origins of Aloe vera to the Arabian Peninsula at the northernmost limits of the range for aloes. The genus Aloe originated in southern Africa ~16 million years ago and underwent two major radiations driven by different speciation processes, giving rise to the extraordinary diversity known today. Large, succulent leaves typical of medicinal aloes arose during the most recent diversification ~10 million years ago and are strongly correlated to the phylogeny and to the likelihood of a species being used for medicine. A significant, albeit weak, phylogenetic signal is evident in the medicinal uses of aloes, suggesting that the properties for which they are valued do not occur randomly across the branches of the phylogenetic tree. Conclusions: Phylogenetic investigation of plant use and leaf succulence among aloes has yielded new explanations for the extraordinary market dominance of Aloe vera. -

Senecioneae also encompasses a number of other genera. Many species of Senecio, as well as species of certain other senecionean genera, are woody, despite the abundance of herbaceous Senecioneae in the North Temperate Zone. Among woody species of Senecioneae, a wide variety of growth forms is represented. Most notable are the peculiar rosette trees of alpine Africa, the subgenus Dendrosenecio of Senecio. These are represented in the present study of S. aberdaricus (dubiously separable from S. battescombei according to Hedberg, 195 7), S. adnivalis, S. cottonii, and S. johnstonii. The Dendra senecios have been discussed with respect to taxonomy and distribution by Hauman ( 1935) and Hedberg ( 195 7). Cotton ( 1944) has considered the relationship between ecology and growth form of the Dendrosenecios, and anatomical data have been furnished by Hare ( 1940) and Hauman ( 19 3 5), but these authors furnish little information on wood anatomy. -
