Invasive Alien Plants an Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent
Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent EDITED BY I.R. BHATT, J.S. SINGH, S.P. SINGH, R.S. TRIPATHI AND R.K. KOHL! 019eas Invasive Alien Plants An Ecological Appraisal for the Indian Subcontinent FSC ...wesc.org MIX Paper from responsible sources `FSC C013604 CABI INVASIVE SPECIES SERIES Invasive species are plants, animals or microorganisms not native to an ecosystem, whose introduction has threatened biodiversity, food security, health or economic development. Many ecosystems are affected by invasive species and they pose one of the biggest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Globalization through increased trade, transport, travel and tour- ism will inevitably increase the intentional or accidental introduction of organisms to new environments, and it is widely predicted that climate change will further increase the threat posed by invasive species. To help control and mitigate the effects of invasive species, scien- tists need access to information that not only provides an overview of and background to the field, but also keeps them up to date with the latest research findings. This series addresses all topics relating to invasive species, including biosecurity surveil- lance, mapping and modelling, economics of invasive species and species interactions in plant invasions. Aimed at researchers, upper-level students and policy makers, titles in the series provide international coverage of topics related to invasive species, including both a synthesis of facts and discussions of future research perspectives and possible solutions.

Cryptostegia Spp. Rubber Vine Asclepiadaceae
Cryptostegia spp. Rubber vine Asclepiadaceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i January, 2003 OVERVIEW Cryptostegia species, C. grandiflora and C. madagascariensis, are widely cultivated and have become pests in places where they are introduced, including Australia, where C. grandiflora has been called one of their worst weeds, and in Florida, where C. madagascariensis is considered a category II weed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. On Maui, the distribution of Cryptostegia spp. is still small and the species are only sparingly naturalized in two locations. Cryptostegia is also sparingly naturalized in Kawaihae, Hawai'i, and likely cultivated at least on O'ahu and possibly other Hawaiian Islands. Because of its weedy history and limited distribution on Maui, Cryptostegia spp. has been targeted by the Maui Invasive Species Committee (MISC) for eradication. Hopefully, this invader will be stopped before it is rampant and widespread. Controlling this aggressive vine now could potentially save large amounts of resources, time, and money in the future. TAXONOMY Family: Asclepiadaceae (milkweed family) (Neal 1965). Latin name: Cryptostegia grandiflora R. Br. and Cryptostegia madagascariensis Bojer. (Bailey and Bailey 1976). Synonyms: Nerium grandiflorum Roxb. ex R. Br. (PLANTS 2001). Common names: Rubber vine, India rubber vine, Palay rubber vine (Neal 1965, Bailey and Bailey 1976, PLANTS 2001). Taxonomic notes: Cyrptostegia is within the milkweed family, Asclepiadaceae, which includes about 220 gernera and 2,000 species of perennial herbs, shrubs, and vines, with milky juice (Neal 1965). The genus, Cyrptostegia, is made up of probably three species of woody lianas with milky sap, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar (Bailey and Bailey 1976). -
The Taxonomy of VACCINIUM Section RIGIOLEPIS (Vaccinieae, Ericaceae)
BLUMEA 50: 477– 497 Published on 14 December 2005 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651905X622743 THE TAXONOMY OF VACCINIUM SECTION RIGIOLEPIS (VACCINIEAE, ERICACEAE) S.P. VANDER KLOET Department of Biology, Acadia University, Wolfville, Nova Scotia, B4P 2R6 Canada SUMMARY Vaccinium section Rigiolepis (Hook.f.) Sleumer is revised for the Flora Malesiana region. In the introduction a short history of the genus (section) and its defining characters are presented followed by comments about Sleumer’s classification for this section. Numerical techniques using features suggested by Sleumer on ‘indet’ specimens at Leiden counsel a more conservative approach to species delimitation and the resultant revision for this section recognizes thirteen species including three new taxa, viz., V. crinigrum, V. suberosum, and V. linearifolium. Lectotypes for V. borneense W.W. Sm. and V. leptanthum Miq. are also proposed. Key words: Vaccinium, Rigiolepis, Malesia, new species. INTRODUCTION Since its inception in 1876, the genus Rigiolepis Hook.f. has been a perennial candidate for the Rodney Dangerfield ‘No Respect’ Award. All the other SE Asian segregates of Vaccinieae, such as Agapetes D. Don, Dimorphanthera F. Muell., and Costera J.J. Sm. have gained widespread acceptance among botanists, but not so Rigiolepis where even the staunchest supporters, viz., Ridley (1922) and Smith (1914, 1935) could not agree on a common suite of generic characters for this taxon. Ridley (1922) argued that Rigiolepis could be separated from Vaccinium by its epiphytic habit, extra-axillary racemes and very small flowers. Unfortunately, neither small flowers nor the epiphytic habit are unique to Rigiolepis but are widespread in the Vaccinieae; indeed V. -

Patterns in Ericaceae: New Phylogenetic Analyses
BS 55 479 Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses Kathleen A. Kron and James L. Luteyn Kron, KA. & Luteyn, J.L. 2005. Origins and biogeographic patterns in Ericaceae: New insights from recent phylogenetic analyses. Biol. Skr. 55: 479-500. ISSN 0366-3612. ISBN 87-7304-304-4. Ericaceae are a diverse group of woody plants that span the temperate and tropical regions of the world. Previous workers have suggested that Ericaceae originated in Gondwana, but recent phy logenetic studies do not support this idea. The theory of a Gondwanan origin for the group was based on the concentration of species richness in the Andes, southern Africa, and the southwest Pacific islands (most of which are thought to be of Gondwanan origin). The Andean diversity is comprised primarily of Vaccinieae with more than 800 species occurring in northern South America, Central America, and the Antilles. In the Cape Region of South Africa the genus Erica is highly diverse with over 600 species currently recognized. In the southwest Pacific islands, Vac cinieae and Rhodoreae are very diverse with over 290 species of Rhododendron (sect. Vireya) and approximately 500 species of Vaccinieae (I)imorphanthera, Paphia, Vaccinium). Recent phyloge netic studies have also shown that the Styphelioideae (formerly Epacridaceae) are included within Ericaceae, thus adding a fourth extremely diverse group (approximately 520 species) in areas considered Gondwanan in origin. Phylogenetic studies of the family on a global scale, how ever, have indicated that these highly diverse “Gondwanan” groups are actually derived from within Ericaceae. Both Fitch parsimony character optimization (using MacClade 4.0) and disper- sal-vicariance analysis (DIVA) indicate that Ericaceae is Laurasian in origin. -

The American cranberry: first insights into the whole genome of a species adapted to bog habitat Polashock et al. Polashock et al. BMC Plant Biology 2014, 14:165 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/14/165 Polashock et al. BMC Plant Biology 2014, 14:165 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/14/165 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The American cranberry: first insights into the whole genome of a species adapted to bog habitat James Polashock1*, Ehud Zelzion2, Diego Fajardo3, Juan Zalapa4, Laura Georgi5,6, Debashish Bhattacharya2 and Nicholi Vorsa7 Abstract Background: The American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) is one of only three widely-cultivated fruit crops native to North America- the other two are blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) and native grape (Vitis spp.). In terms of taxonomy, cranberries are in the core Ericales, an order for which genome sequence data are currently lacking. In addition, cranberries produce a host of important polyphenolic secondary compounds, some of which are beneficial to human health. Whereas next-generation sequencing technology is allowing the advancement of whole-genome sequencing, one major obstacle to the successful assembly from short-read sequence data of complex diploid (and higher ploidy) organisms is heterozygosity. Cranberry has the advantage of being diploid (2n =2x = 24) and self-fertile. To minimize the issue of heterozygosity, we sequenced the genome of a fifth-generation inbred genotype (F ≥ 0.97) derived from five generations of selfing originating from the cultivar Ben Lear. Results: The genome size of V. macrocarpon has been estimated to be about 470 Mb. Genomic sequences were assembled into 229,745 scaffolds representing 420 Mbp (N50 = 4,237 bp) with 20X average coverage. -

FULL ACCOUNT FOR: Cryptostegia grandiflora Cryptostegia grandiflora System: Terrestrial Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Plantae Magnoliophyta Magnoliopsida Gentianales Asclepiadaceae Common name India rubber vine (English), caucho de la India (Spanish, Galapagos), rubber vine (English), palay rubber vine (English), purple allamanda (English), liane de gatope (French, New Caledonia) Synonym Nerium grandiflorum , Roxb. ex R. Br. Similar species Summary Cryptostegia grandiflora is a self supporting, many-stemmed vine that is capable of growing over trees up to 15m high, smothering and pulling them down. It occurs in dry and moist forests in disturbed situations where there is temporary or permanent water, such as in rainforest openings and along roadsides. C. grandiflora is poisonous to stock when consumed and it forms impenetrable thickets that may restrict stock access to water. It decreases water catchments due to increased transpiration resulting in a loss of trees and native vines, which in turn leads to a loss of biodiversity and habitat. view this species on IUCN Red List Species Description Cryptostegia grandiflora, is a self supporting, scrambling, many-stemmed vine that grows to 2 metres tall with long trailing whips. A milky sap oozes from stems, leaves and seedpods when cut or broken. Leaves are dark green and glossy, 6-10cm long, 3-5cm wide and in opposite pairs. Roots have been found at a depth of 13 metres in mine shafts. Roots of seedlings are twice as long as shoots. The growth form of the vine differs depending on the surrounding conditions. They can form dense canopies of overpapping plants with long whips, form towers upto 30mts high the height of native trees and grow as freestanding shrubs in the absence of other vegetation. -

Steenis, in Indonesian is binahong, is a creeping plant with a length can reach 6 meters. Binahong originated from the United Stated and be classified in Family Basellaceae. In Indonesia, binahong often be used for traditional medicines to treat diabetes, relieve shortness of breath, stabilize blood pressure, coughing and vomiting blood, lung disease, accelerate wound healing process, restoring bruised, headache, hives, immune system, nose bleeding, prevent stokes and health problems after the surgery and childbirth. Binahong contains several active compounds, such as saponins, alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, and glycosides that have an effect on the wound healing process. The extract of binahong leaf is made to retain the active compound content which is inside the leaf binahong in order to still have effect as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and as an analgesic. The purpose of this review is to educate the
