  • Pisos De Vegetación De La Sierra De Catorce Y Territorios Circundantes (San Luis Potosí, México)
    Acta Botanica Mexicana 94: 91-123 (2011) PISOS DE VEGETACIÓN DE LA SIERRA DE CATORCE Y TERRITORIOS CIRCUNDANTES (SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, MÉXICO) JOAQUÍN GIMÉNEZ DE AZCÁRATE 1, ONÉSIMO GONZÁLEZ COSTILLA 2 1Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Departamento de Botánica, Escuela Politécnica Superior, E-27002 Lugo, España. [email protected] 2Universidad de Matehuala S.C., División de Estudios de Posgrado, Cuauhtémoc 201, 78700 Matehuala, San Luis Potosí, México. RESUMEN Se realizó una caracterización de los pisos de vegetación reconocidos a lo largo del gradiente actitudinal en la Sierra de Catorce y zonas aledañas, en la porción meridional del Desierto Chihuahuense (Estado de San Luis Potosí, México). Para ello se efectuó la diagnosis de las principales unidades de vegetación, utilizando el enfoque fitosociológico, y la interpretación de los resultados bioclimáticos obtenidos a partir de los datos de las estaciones meteorológicas analizadas y de las extrapolaciones efectuadas. En el territorio considerado se han reconocido los bioclimas Tropical Xérico y Tropical Pluviestacional. En el primer caso se presentan los pisos Termotropical Semiárido, Mesotropical Semiárido, Mesotropical Seco y Supratropical Seco. En el Tropical Pluviestacional sólo se presenta de forma puntual el piso Supratropical Subhúmedo. Para cada una de estas situaciones se acompañan datos de la composición, distribución cliserial y diagnosis bioclimática de su vegetación natural potencial correspondiente (diferentes comunidades arbóreas y arbustivas), y se señalan los bioindicadores más representativos de cada situación. Palabras clave: altiplano, bioclimatología, bioindicadores, cliseries, comunidades vegetales, México, San Luis Potosí. ABSTRACT The vegetation belts on the slopes of the Sierra de Catorce and surrounding areas in the southern Chihuahuan Desert (State of San Luis Potosi, Mexico) were recognized.

RESUMEN La Sierra de Catorce, localizada en el norte del estado de San Luis Potosí, reúne algunas de las principales cimas del Desierto Chihuahuense cuyas cotas superan los 3000 metros. Ello ha favorecido que la Sierra sea una importante área de diversificación de la flora y las fitocenosis de dicha ecorregión. A partir del estudio fitosociológico de la vegetación del territorio, que se está realizando desde 1999, se ha obtenido un catálogo preliminar de su flora. Hasta el momento la lista de plantas vasculares está conformada por 526 especies y cuatro taxa infraespecíficos, agrupados en 293 géneros y 88 familias. Las familias y géneros mejor representados son Asteraceae, Poaceae, Cactaceae, Fabaceae, Fagaceae y Lamiaceae, así como Quercus, Opuntia, Muhlenbergia, Salvia, Agave, Bouteloua y Dyssodia, respectivamente. Asimismo se señalan los tipos de vegetación representativos del área que albergan los diferentes taxa. Por último, con base en diferentes listas de flora amenazada, se identificaron las especies incluidas en alguna de las categorías reconocidas. Palabras clave: Desierto Chihuahuense, estudio fitosociológico, flora, flora ame- nazada, México, San Luis Potosí, Sierra de Catorce.

  • Wood Functional Anatomy of Chiococca Alba Hitch

(Rubiaceae) de cerrado João Carlos Ferreira de MELO JÚNIOR1, 2, Maick William AMORIM¹, Gustavo Borda de OLIVEIRA¹ & Celso Voos VIEIRA¹ ABSTRACT Recebido em: 22 mar. 2017 The wood anatomy is able to evidence systematic and ecological aspects associated with Aceito em: 12 jun. 2017 the evolution and functionality of the secondary xylem. The present study was carried out using wood of Chiococca alba (Rubiaceae) from cerrado (savannah), to describe its anatomy and to verify if the hydraulic architecture of this species corroborates the theory that postulates the functional tendency that optimizes the transport efficiency associated with safety. The anatomical analysis followed the conventional protocols of wood anatomy. Different indexes of wood hydraulics quantification were calculated, such as solitary vessels index, vessel grouping, conductivity, vessel collapse, theoretical resistance to vessel implosion and mesomorphism. The structural characteristics described for C. alba are in agreement with the general anatomical descriptions for the Rubiaceae family that relate the presence of exclusively solitary vessels and small diameter, simple perforation plates, alternate intervessel pits, apotracheal parenchyma in species with non-septate fibers and narrow and heterogeneous rays. The calculated indexes showed that C. alba is a xerophyte species with great resistance to the collapse of the vessels during the transport of water, little vulnerability to embolism and relative efficiency in the transport when compared to other species of its subfamily (Cinchonoideae) in function of the typical low water availability of the savannah soil.

  • 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.

  • Revision and Phylogeny of <I>Acalypha</I
    Blumea 55, 2010: 21–60 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/blumea RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/000651910X499141 Revision and phylogeny of Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae) in Malesia V.G. Sagun1,2, G.A. Levin2, P.C. van Welzen3 Key words Abstract Twenty-eight species of Acalypha are recognized in Malesia. Acalypha paniculata is the sole member of subgenus Linostachys in Malesia and the rest of the species belong to subgenus Acalypha. Four previously Acalypha synonymized species are resurrected as distinct species, namely A. angatensis, A. cardiophylla var. cardiophylla, Euphorbiaceae A. grandis, and A. wilkesiana. Four species names are newly reduced to synonymy. The molecular phylogenetic Malesia analyses indicate that Acalypha is monophyletic, as is the subgenus Acalypha. The early-diverging lineages in the phylogeny genus, and its closest outgroup, consist of African species. The Malesian species do not form a monophyletic group although the molecular data strongly support two small clades within the region that are morphologically homogene- ous. The classification system that Pax and Hoffmann applied to subgenus Acalypha, which is based primarily on inflorescence morphology, appears to be unsatisfactory and incongruent with the phylogenetic analyses. Published on 16 April 2010 INTRODUCTION Molecular systematics confirms the placement of Acalypha in Acalyphoideae s.s. and shows a close relationship between Acalypha L. is the third largest genus in the Euphorbiaceae Acalypha and Mareya Baill. (Wurdack et al. 2005, Tokuoka s.s. after Euphorbia L., and Croton L., having about 450 spe- 2007). Their relationship is supported by similar morphologi- cies worldwide (Webster 1994, Radcliffe-Smith 2001). In the cal characteristics, including laciniate styles, pendulous anther Malesian region, 28 species of Acalypha are recognized herein.

    Phytotaxa 140 (1): 1–25 (2013) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.140.1.1 Annotated checklist and identification keys of the Acalyphoideae (Euphorbiaceae) of Equatorial Guinea (Annobón, Bioko and Río Muni) PATRICIA BARBERÁ*, MAURICIO VELAYOS & CARLOS AEDO Department of Biodiversity and Conservation, Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid, Plaza de Murillo 2, 28014, Madrid, Spain. *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study provides a checklist of the Acalyphoideae (Euphorbiaceae) present in Equatorial Guinea, comprised of 18 genera and 49 taxa. Identification keys have been added for genera and species of the subfamily. The best represented genus is Macaranga with ten species. Bibliographical references for Acalyphoideae (Euphorbiaceae) from Equatorial Guinea have been gathered and checked. Eight taxa are recorded for the first time from the country. One species is included based on literature records, because its distribution ranges suggest it may occur in Equatorial Guinea, and two introduced species could be naturalized. Key words: biodiversity, flora, floristics, tropical Africa Introduction The Euphorbiaceae sensu stricto are one of the largest and most diverse plant families with over 246 genera and 6300 species. Additionally they are one of the most diversified angiosperm families. The circumscription and the systematic position of this family have been controversial (Webster 1994, Wurdack et al. 2005, Xi et al. 2012). Today Euphorbiaceae s.str. are subdivided into four subfamilies: Cheilosioideae, Acalyphoideae, Crotonoideae and Euphorbioideae (Radcliffe-Smith 2001, APG 2009). Acalyphoideae are the largest subfamily of Euphorbiaceae and have a pantropical distribution.

Seed germination and seedling growth of Chiococca javanica (Rubiaceae) in relation to fruit maturation and media growth. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 111-119. Chiococca javanica is a plant having ornamental potential. The seeds extracted from the fruits were classified according to maturity stage: Unripe - yellow; ripe - reddish; and over ripe - dark-red and seed germination were done in two germination media: sand and rice husk. The statistical approach was a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance indicated that the seeds of C. javanica from the ripe and over ripe fruit had higher significances (P<0.05) on germination capacity, speed of germination, mean germination time, mean daily germination, peak value and germination value than the seeds from yellow fruits. The effect of growing media on germination process showed higher significance in sand than that in rice husk. Similarly, mean daily germination in sand was higher than that in rice husk. All seedling growth parameters of the seeds from ripe and over ripe fruit showed significant different on number of leaves, shoot length, diameter of seedlings, number of lateral roots, roots length, fresh weight and dry weight of plants than the seeds from unripe fruit.
