MAIA and BERNARDO MASCARENHAS Departamento de Entomologia, Museu Nacional, Depto. De Entomologia, Quinta da Boa Vista, São Cristóvão, 20940-040 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil Manuscript received on December 20, 2016; accepted for publication on January 27, 2017 ABSTRACT The Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI) (Brazilian Southeast Region) was surveyed monthly for insect galls from February/2014 to December/ 2015. A total of 432 gall morphotypes were found. This number places the PNI as the richest Atlantic forest area in number of gall morphotypes. The galls were found on 47 plant families. Among them, Asteraceae were pointed out as the superhost. The gall richness in the lower part of the PNI is higher than that of the plateau. The insect galls were found in 154 native, 56 endemic and only one exotic plant species. Concerning the conservational status, the host plants include two vulnerable species with three morphotypes together. Several new botanical records were reported. Leaves were the most galled plant organ, followed by stems. Globoid, green, glabrous and one–chambered galls were the most frequent. Cecidomyiidae were the most common gallers. Parasitoids, successors and inquilines composed the associated fauna. Key words: Atlantic forest, Cecidomyiidae, insect–plant interactions, multitrophic relations, new records. INTRODUCTION is a predominance of the altitude fields. About 1,328 plant species have been recorded in the PNI, The Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI) is a prioritary among them, 163 are endemic. The fauna includes area for the biodiversity conservation of the Atlantic about 5,000 insect species, 25 reptile species, forest.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

Walaupun dilaporkan berjaya dalam alam tumbuhan, teknologi ini hanya mencalar sedikit permukaan famili Melastomataceae. Kajian terhad telah dilakukan untuk memperolehi keputusan yang terbaik bagi parameter yang diketahui mempengaruhi kecekapan transformasi tumbuhan ini. Hasil utama kajian ini adalah penemuan keadaan yang terbaik dengan kehadiran perangsang yang tertentu [contohnya, monosakarida (D-glukosa, D-galaktosa dan D-fruktosa), tirosina, aluminium klorida (AICI3) dan asid askorbik] dalam meningkatkan kecekapan transformasi Tibouchina semidecandra. Agrobacterium tumefaciens stren LBA4404 dengan plasmid pCAMBIA1304 telah digunakan dalam transformasi keratan pucuk and tunas ketiak T. semidecandra. Pelbagai kepekatan perangsang transformasi telah dikaji dengan menggunakan green fluorescent protein (GFP) sebagai penanda. Keputusan yang diperolehi adalah berdasarkan kepada peratusan ekspresi GFP yang diperhatikan pada hari ke-14 selepas transformasi dilakukan. Kombinasi 120 µM galaktosa dan 100 µM tirosina berserta dengan 600 µM AICI3 dan kehadiran 15 mg/l asid askorbik telah memberi peratus kejadian transformasi yang tertinggi bagi keratan pucuk T. semidecandra.

Triana, a Colombian native with extensive knowledge in the field, published his system in 1865 and slightly modified it in 1871. Triana’s system grouped the melastomataceae in three subfamilies, melastomatoideae, astronioideae and memecyloideae; which include thirteen tribes. Owing to the size of this family, the internal classification has been reviewed several times. A recent systematic analysis of melastomataceous plants re-structured and placed them into two subfamilies, kibesioideae and melastomatoideae, which contains only nine

Each plant’s preferred growing conditions (soil pH, soil texture, relative drought tolerance, soil drainage/moisture, light range, light optimum, and salt tolerance) are included here as a guide to choosing plants for your specific site conditions. Additional information is given on growth rate, mature height and spread, flowering color and season, value to wildlife, wind resistance and other characteristics helpful for plant selection and maintenance. See the key to symbols and abbreviations used in the tables for details. Remember to always put the right plant in the right place by matching each plant’s needs with the environmental conditions found at the site. There may be variation in some characteristics, especially in the region (north, central or south) of Florida in which plants will grow. Check with your county’s UF/IFAS Extension office to confirm the appropriateness of specific plants (look in the government pages of your phone book or see http://solutionsforyourlife.ufl.edu/map for your county’s contact information). Key to Symbols and Abbreviations: Florida Region and Cold Hardiness Zones: Region (includes Florida regions in which plant will grow): N=North; C=Central; S=South (see map at right).

    PAARL BOOMROETE PAARL TREE ROUTE PAARL TUINBOU 2015 1 Olienhout/ Wild Olive/Olea europaea subsp Africana Taalmonument/Language Monument (Inheems/Indigenous) S 33˚ 45ʹ 58.2ʺ EO 18˚ 56ʹ 33.7ʺ S 33.76616˚ EO 18.94268˚ A medium-sized, evergreen tree, the wild olive is found not only throughout Africa, but also in Arabia, India and China. The sweetly scented flowers are creamy-white and appear from October to February. These are followed by the small fruit which are black when ripe. Indeed, it is mainly the smallness of the flower and fruit that separates this tree from the cultivated olive of commerce. It is however hardier of habit and for this reason used as a root stock for its commercial cousin. The fruits of the wild olive are enjoyed by a host of birds, baboons, bushpigs, warthogs and vervet monkeys. Its leaves make it a very valuable fodder tree in arid areas such as the Karoo and Griqualand West. The dark juice of the fruit has been used to make ink and the beautiful wood is greatly valued for carving, cabinet work and furniture. Described as "steel like", the wood is very hard, durable and termite-and borer-resistant - popular then as fence poles that are said to last for 100´s of years.

    Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências (2017) 89(1 Suppl.): 505-575 (Annals of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences) Printed version ISSN 0001-3765 / Online version ISSN 1678-2690 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0001-3765201720160877 www.scielo.br/aabc Insect Galls of the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (Southeast Region, Brazil) VALÉRIA C. MAIA and BERNARDO MASCARENHAS Departamento de Entomologia, Museu Nacional, Depto. De Entomologia, Quinta da Boa Vista, São Cristóvão, 20940-040 Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil Manuscript received on December 20, 2016; accepted for publication on January 27, 2017 ABSTRACT The Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI) (Brazilian Southeast Region) was surveyed monthly for insect galls from February/2014 to December/ 2015. A total of 432 gall morphotypes were found. This number places the PNI as the richest Atlantic forest area in number of gall morphotypes. The galls were found on 47 plant families. Among them, Asteraceae were pointed out as the superhost. The gall richness in the lower part of the PNI is higher than that of the plateau. The insect galls were found in 154 native, 56 endemic and only one exotic plant species. Concerning the conservational status, the host plants include two vulnerable species with three morphotypes together. Several new botanical records were reported. Leaves were the most galled plant organ, followed by stems. Globoid, green, glabrous and one–chambered galls were the most frequent. Cecidomyiidae were the most common gallers. Parasitoids, successors and inquilines composed the associated fauna. Key words: Atlantic forest, Cecidomyiidae, insect–plant interactions, multitrophic relations, new records. INTRODUCTION is a predominance of the altitude fields.

  • Tibouchina Urvilleana Glory Bush Melastomataceae
    Tibouchina urvilleana Glory bush Melastomataceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i April, 2003 OVERVIEW Tibouchina urvilleana is widely cultivated for its attractive purple flowers. In Hawai'i, this species is a pest in moist areas where it forms large thickets and spreads vegetatively. On Maui, most plants observed during island wide surveys were cultivated, especially in the Kula and Pi'iholo areas, and some were naturalized, especially in lowland moist disturbed areas along the Hana Hwy. T. urvilleana was also reported from Iao Valley. T. urvilleana is a Hawai'i state noxious weed. Though fairly widespread, control of T. urvilleana in discrete locations, natural areas, and vulnerable habitat may help prevent larger infestations from occurring. TAXONOMY Family: Melastomataceae (Melastoma family) (Wagner et al. 1999). Latin name: Tibouchina urvilleana (DC) Cogn. (Wagner et al. 1999). Synonyms: Lisiandra urvilleana DC, Pleroma grandiflora Hort., P. splendens Hort., Tibouchina semidecandra sensu Hawaiian botanists, non (DC) Cogn. (Wagner et al. 1999). Common names: Glory bush, princess flower, Lasiandra (Brickell and Zuk 1997, Wagner et al. 1999). Taxonomic notes: The genus, Tibouchina, is made up of about 350 species, many native to Brazil, but also ranging from Mexico and the West Indies to northern Argentina (Wagner et al. 1999). Our plants are referred to var. urvilleana, which has glandular hairs on pedicels, bracts, and hypanthium (Wagner et al. 1999). Nomenclature: The generic name is derived from a native name of the plants in Guiana (Wagner et al. 1999). Related species in Hawai'i: Several other Tibouchina species are also cultivated in Hawai'i, including T.
