BIOL., 4(1): 73-81 ETHNOBOTANICAL STUDIES OF SHRUBS AND TREES OF AGRA VALLEY PARACHINAR, UPPER KURRAM AGENCY, PAKISTAN MUHAMMAD AJAIB1, SYED KHALIL HAIDER1, ANNAM ZIKREA1 AND MUHAMMAD FAHEEM SIDDIQUI2 1Department of Botany, GC University Lahore-Pakistan 2Department of Botany, University of Karachi, Karachi-Pakistan Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Aboriginal folks live diligently connected with nature and predominantly depend on it for their persistence. The present study conducted in 11 villages of Agra Valley, Parachinar and reported 18 Angiospermic shrubs belonging to 3 monocot (Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Typhaceae) and 10 dicot families (predominantly Apocyanaceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae); in addition to 27 trees of ethnobotanical importance including 1 Gymnosperm (Pinaceae) and 26 Angiosperms having single monocot (Arecaceae) and 18 dicot families (predominantly Moraceae, Salicaceae, Fabaceae). Nearly one-third species had single-usage. Two-usage and multi-usage shrubs were consumed for crafting (25%), medicinal (22.5%), culinary (11%) and miscellaneous other purposes. 11% single- usage, 30% two-usage and 59% multi-usage trees were employed for medicinal (22%), fuel (21%), crafting (19%) and for several other purposes. Different parts of plants were utilized either in powder form, decoction, infusion or whole plant extract to cure various diseases. Unfortunately, the knowledge of commercial and remedial possessions of many plants attained by methods of trial and error, gathered and supplemented through peers and delivered from one generation to another, was deprived of any written documentation. Therefore, the documentation of plants along with their important uses should be beneficial, not only for the indigenous people of the area but also for the country as a whole.

  • Recommended Native and Adapted Plants for KB Home in Boerne
    Recommended Native and Adapted Plants for Boerne Native Plant Society of Texas - Boerne Chapter www.npsot.org/boerne Using native and well-adapted plants to landscape will save time and money. Once established, natives require less water, fertilizer, pesticides, and maintenance than most non-natives. Before buying plants, identify the characteristics of your yard, such as how much morning and afternoon sun or shade you have, available moisture, and drainage. All these will impact plant survival and the plant selections you make. Choose plants that are suited to your site. Use a variety of heights in your design. For example, plant a canopy tree to provide shade. Plant understory (U) trees, shade-loving shrubs, and shade tolerant perennials under existing canopy trees. Not only will your landscape be more appealing, but you will have a better survival rate when you provide some shade for plants that need protection from the blistering Texas sun. Consider leaving any existing native vegetation undisturbed, as these areas will be very low-maintenance, and will help preserve the “Hill Country Heritage” that attracts many people to this area. You may enhance these native areas by adding favorite compatible selections for increased color or wildlife food to attract hummingbirds , butterflies , and songbirds to your yard. In general, avoid acid-living plants as the soil in central Texas is very alkaline. Also, avoid water-requiring plants as the average rainfall in the area is usually only around 30 inches per year. This list includes non-native plants which grow compatibly with drought-tolerant native plants. These are listed because of their hardiness in the Hill Country soil and climate and because of their availability in local nurseries.

Smedmark ¤, Ulf Swenson, Arne A. Anderberg Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Received 9 September 2005; revised 4 January 2006; accepted 12 January 2006 Available online 21 February 2006 Abstract We used Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 5 kb of chloroplast DNA data from 68 Sapotaceae species to clarify phylogenetic relation- ships within Sapotoideae, one of the two major clades within Sapotaceae. Variation in substitution rates through time was shown to be a very important aspect of molecular evolution for this data set. Relative rates tests indicated that changes in overall rate have taken place in several lineages during the history of the group and Bayes factors strongly supported a covarion model, which allows the rate of a site to vary over time, over commonly used models that only allow rates to vary across sites. Rate variation over time was actually found to be a more important model component than rate variation across sites. The covarion model was originally developed for coding gene sequences and has so far only been tested for this type of data. The fact that it performed so well with the present data set, consisting mainly of data from noncoding spacer regions, suggests that it deserves a wider consideration in model based phylogenetic inference. Repeatability of phylogenetic results was very diYcult to obtain with the more parameter rich models, and analyses with identical settings often supported diVerent topologies.

  • The Oman Botanic Garden (1): the Vision, Early Plant Collections
    SIBBALDIA: 41 The Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture, No. 6 THE OMAN BotANIC GARDEN (1): THE VISION, EARLY PLANT CoLLECTIONS AND PRopAGATION Annette Patzelt1, Leigh Morris2, Laila Al Harthi1, Ismail Al Rashdi1 & Andrew Spalton3 ABstRACT The Oman Botanic Garden (OBG) is a new botanic garden which is being constructed on a 423ha site near to Muscat, the capital of Oman. Oman is floristically rich and is considered a centre of plant diversity in the Arabian Peninsula. The plan is that OBG will showcase this plant diversity, inform visitors of its value and provide a model for sustainability. This paper, part 1, covers the vision, early plant collections and propagation, and part 2, which will be included in Sibbaldia No. 7, will cover design, construction, interpretation and planting. THE SITE The Oman Botanic Garden (OBG), which is currently under construction, is to be a brand new, iconic botanic garden in the Sultanate of Oman. It is to be located on 423 hectares of natural habitat at Al Khoud, just to the west of the capital Muscat (Fig. 1). On the northern side of the site is a range of hills up to 281m high and within the site are a number of smaller hills (up to 170m). There are three wadis that cross the site, the largest of which is Wadi Sidr, which contains some pools of water throughout the year. The overall wide range of ground conditions will enable a large number of species to be grown within OBG, making it an excellent choice of location. The site is remarkably green at certain times of the year and its most distinctive flora is the open woodland that dominates the wadi areas.

Meric'o ABSTRACT 1. Above 28"N, the coastlineof the northern Gulf of California is indented at frequent intervals by negative or inverseestuaries that are saltier at their backs than at their mouths due to the lack of freshwater inflow. These 'esteros'total over l32,ogo ha in area and encompassmangrove marshes below 29"N and saltgrass(Drsrichlis palmeri) marshes north of 29"N. An additional 6000 ha of freshwaterand brackish wetlandsare found in the Colorado River delta where fresh water entersthe intertidal zone. 2. The mangrove marshesin the Gulf of California have been afforded some degreeof protected statusin Mexico, but the northern saltgrassesteros do not have priority conservationstatus and are increasinglybecoming developmenttargets for resorts,vacation homes and aquaculture sites. 3. We conducted an inventory of the marshesusing aerial photography and satelliteimages, and evaluatedthe extent and type of developmenton eachmarsh. We reviewedthe availableliterature on the marshesto document their vegetationtypes and ecologicalfunctions in the adjacentmarine and terrestrial ecosystems. 4. Over 95"h of the mangrove marshes have been developed for shrimp farming. However, the larms are built adjacent to, rather than in, the marshes, and the mangrove stands are still mostly intact.
