À minha família e a António, em retribuição ao amor, apoio e estímulo que sempre me dispensaram, e por tudo que essas pessoas representam em minha vida, Ofereço. He may be the face I can't forget, A trace of pleasure or regret, May be my treasure or the price I have to pay. He may be the song that summer sings, May be the chill that autumn brings, May be a hundred different things within the measure of a day. Pela marca que nos deixa a ausência de som He may be the beauty or the beast, Que a emana das estrelas May be the famine or the feast, Pela falta que nos faz May turn each day into a heaven or a hell. A nossa própria luz a nos orientar He may be the mirror of my dream, Doido corpo que se move A smile reflected in a stream, É a solidão dos bares que a gente freqüenta He may not be what she may seem inside her shell. Pela mágica do dia Que independeria da gente pensar He who always seems so happy in a crowd, Não me fale do seu medo Whose eyes can be so private and so proud, Ah, eu conheço inteira a sua fantasia No one's allowed to see them when they cry. E é como se fosse pouca He may be the love that cannot hope to last, E a tua alegria não fosse bastar May come to me from shadows of the past, Quando eu não estiver por perto That I remember till the day I die. Canta aquela música que a gente ria É tudo o que eu cantaria He may be the reason I survive, E quando eu for embora você cantará The why and wherefore I'm alive, The one I'll care for through the rough and ready Estrelas years. (Oswaldo Montenegro) Me, I'll take her laughter and her tears And make them all my souvenirs For where she goes I've got to be. The meaning of my life is he, he, he Adaptado de “She” (Charles Aznavour & Herbert Kretzmer) A António José Franco Rodrigues, um cometa que passou em minha vida e deixou para sempre sua luz.

  • In Vitro Tissue Culture, Preliminar Phytochemical Analysis, and Antibacterial Activity of Psittacanthus Linearis (Killip) J.K
    ARTÍCULO DE INVESTIGACIÓN In vitro tissue culture, preliminar phytochemical analysis, and antibacterial activity of Psittacanthus linearis (Killip) J.K. Macbride (Loranthaceae) Cultivo de tejidos in vitro, análisis fitoquímico preliminar y actividad antibacteriana de Psittacanthus linearis (Killip) J.K. Macbride (Loranthaceae) DOI: 10.15446/rev.colomb.biote.v21n2.83410 ABSTRACT Hemiparasitic plants commonly known as mistletoe (muérdago in Spanish) in the families Santalaceae and Loranthaceae are com- mon in various kinds of plants or trees, and many hemiparasitic plants are used for medicinal purposes in various parts of the world. The objective of the present work, carried out in Psittacanthus linearis (suelda con suelda), a representative species in the seasonally dry forest (SDF) from the north of Perú, was to study aspects of in vitro tissue culture, carry out preliminary phytochemical analysis, and assess antibacterial activity. Seeds of individuals of P. linearis, which used Prosopis pallida (algarrobo) as host plant, were collect- ed and used to induce in vitro seed germination, clonal propagation, callus induction and organogenesis. Stems, leaves and fruits of individuals of P. linearis were dried, powdered, and subjected to ethanol extraction. Posteriorly the extract was first recovered with ethanol and the remnant with chloroform, which formed the ethanolic and chloroformic fraction. A preliminary phytochemical screening was performed and preliminary antibacterial studies with Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeru- ginosa were carried out and their results are discussed. This is the first report about in vitro tissue culture, phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of P. linearis. The results may have important implications for understanding physiological and biochemical interactions between host and hemiparasitic species as well as P.

  • BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION on the TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and Plants
    BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION ON THE TIWI ISLANDS, NORTHERN TERRITORY: Part 1. Environments and plants Report prepared by John Woinarski, Kym Brennan, Ian Cowie, Raelee Kerrigan and Craig Hempel. Darwin, August 2003 Cover photo: Tall forests dominated by Darwin stringybark Eucalyptus tetrodonta, Darwin woollybutt E. miniata and Melville Island Bloodwood Corymbia nesophila are the principal landscape element across the Tiwi islands (photo: Craig Hempel). i SUMMARY The Tiwi Islands comprise two of Australia’s largest offshore islands - Bathurst (with an area of 1693 km 2) and Melville (5788 km 2) Islands. These are Aboriginal lands lying about 20 km to the north of Darwin, Northern Territory. The islands are of generally low relief with relatively simple geological patterning. They have the highest rainfall in the Northern Territory (to about 2000 mm annual average rainfall in the far north-west of Melville and north of Bathurst). The human population of about 2000 people lives mainly in the three towns of Nguiu, Milakapati and Pirlangimpi. Tall forests dominated by Eucalyptus miniata, E. tetrodonta, and Corymbia nesophila cover about 75% of the island area. These include the best developed eucalypt forests in the Northern Territory. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 1300 rainforest patches, with floristic composition in many of these patches distinct from that of the Northern Territory mainland. Although the total extent of rainforest on the Tiwi Islands is small (around 160 km 2 ), at an NT level this makes up an unusually high proportion of the landscape and comprises between 6 and 15% of the total NT rainforest extent. The Tiwi Islands also include nearly 200 km 2 of “treeless plains”, a vegetation type largely restricted to these islands.

Hawksworth Plant Pathologist Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station Agriculture Handbook No. 469 Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture December 1974 CONTENTS Page Introduction ^ Mistletoes and Hosts 3 Host Index of Mistletoes 27 Literature Cited ^^ Library of Congress Catalog No. 74-600182 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington B.C. 20402 Price 75 cents Stock Number 0100-03303 MISTLETOES ON INTRODUCED TREES OF THE WORLD INTRODUCTION Spaulding (1961) published the first attempt at a worldwide inven- tory of the diseases of foreign (introduced) trees of the world. With the widespread introduction of trees to many parts of the world, it is becoming of increasing importance to know the susceptibility of trees introduced to new disease situations. Spaulding's comprehensive lists included forest tree diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses, but not the mistletoes. Therefore this publication on the mistletoes was prepared to supplement his work. Spaulding considered only forest trees, but the coverage here is expanded to include mistletoes parasitic on introduced forest, crop, orchard, and ornamental trees. In some instances, mistletoes are reported on trees cultivated within different parts of a country where the tree is native. Such records are included if it is indicated in the publication that the mistletoe in question is on planted trees. "Mistletoe" as used in this paper refers to any member of the fam- ilies Loranthaceae or Viscaceae.

  • 11Th Flora Malesina Symposium, Brunei Darussalm, 30 June 5 July 2019 1
    11TH FLORA MALESINA SYMPOSIUM, BRUNEI DARUSSALM, 30 JUNE 5 JULY 2019 1 Welcome message The Universiti Brunei Darussalam is honoured to host the 11th International Flora Malesiana Symposium. On behalf of the organizing committee it is my pleasure to welcome you to Brunei Darussalam. The Flora Malesiana Symposium is a fantastic opportunity to engage in discussion and sharing information and experience in the field of taxonomy, ecology and conservation. This is the first time that a Flora Malesiana Symposium is organized in Brunei Darissalam and in the entire island of Borneo. At the center of the Malesian archipelago the island of Borneo magnifies the megadiversity of this region with its richness in plant and animal species. Moreover, the symposium will be an opportunity to inspire and engage the young generation of taxonomists, ecologists and conservationists who are attending it. They will be able to interact with senior researchers and get inspired with new ideas and develop further collaboration. In a phase of Biodiversity crisis, it is pivotal the understanding of plant diversity their ecology in order to have a tangible and successful result in the conservation action. I would like to thank the Vice Chancellor of UBD for supporting the symposium. In the last 6 months the organizing committee has worked very hard for making the symposium possible, to them goes my special thanks. I would like to extend my thanks to all the delegates and the keynote speakers who will make this event a memorable symposium.

Hunter1, Jennifer Kingston2 and Peter Croft2 (175 Kendall Rd, Invergowrie, NSW 2350, 2Glen Innes District National Parks and Wildlife Service, Glen Innes, NSW 2370) 1999. Vegetation and floristics of Kwiambal National Park and surrounds, Ashford, New South Wales. Cunninghamia 6(2): 351–378 The vegetation of Kwiambal National Park and surrounds, 30 km north-west of Ashford (29°07'S, 150°58'E) in the Inverell Shire on the North Western Slopes, is described. Eight plant communities are defined based on flexible UPGMA analysis of relative abundance scores of vascular plant taxa. These communities are mapped based on ground truthing, air photo interpretation and geological substrate. All communities are of woodland structure and most are dominated by Callitris glaucophylla, Eucalyptus melanophloia and Eucalyptus dealbata. Communities are: 1) Mixed Stand Woodland (Dry Rainforest), 2) Granite Woodland, 3) Metasediment Woodland, 4) Riverine, 5) Metabasalt Woodland, 6) Granite Open Woodland, 7) Limestone Woodland, and 8) Alluvial Woodland. Many of the taxa (407 species were recorded) show phytogeographic affinities with western south-east Queensland flora. This is also true of the communities defined. Five ROTAP listed species have been found in the Park: Acacia williamsiana, Astrotricha roddii, Euphorbia sarcostemmoides, Olearia gravis and Thesium australe, three of these are listed on the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act (1995). Another ten taxa are considered to be at their geographic limit or disjunct in their distribution. 17% are exotic in origin. Introduction Kwiambal National Park is approximately 130 km north-west of Glen Innes and 30 km north-west of Ashford (29°07'S, 150°58'E) in the Shire of Inverell on the North Western Slopes of NSW (Fig.

  • Budawangia* an E-Newsletter for All Those Interested in the Native Plants of the Nsw South Coast
    BUDAWANGIA* AN E-NEWSLETTER FOR ALL THOSE INTERESTED IN THE NATIVE PLANTS OF THE NSW SOUTH COAST Contact: Dr Kevin Mills – [email protected] No. 28 - July 2014 Aims: To connect those interested in the native flora of the NSW South Coast, to share up to date information on the flora of the region and to broaden the appreciation of the region’s native plants. Editorial July, the middle of winter, is perhaps not the most inviting time to get out into the bush, windy and cold weather discouraging excursions too far from home. There is however much to see in the bush at this time of year. Many rainforest plants have fruit, the foggy highlands provide good opportunities for early morning photographs, while the winter-flowering Banksias are putting on a show on the foreshores and in the woodlands. This edition contains an article on mistletoes, those plants that parasitise other plants. These shrubs play an important role in the ecology of forests and woodlands and recent research has identified them as critical to the well being of many animal species. The purpose of „plant of the month‟ is to discuss some of the more uncommon species in our region. This month we have Acacia hispidula, an uncommon wattle of the sandstone country. As usual, another mystery weed is presented, along with an article about two noxious weeds in the genus Xanthium and another article in the series on wetland plants. I am glad readers are finding the newsletter enjoyable and informative; comments such as the following encourage me to keep it going: Les from Kangaroo Valley - “Thanks for a very interesting issue.” Diane from Nowra - “Thanks Kevin.
