  • Angostura Ossana (Rutaceae), a Component of the Cuban Flora
    Willdenowia 34 – 2004 277 doi:10.3372/wi.34.34122 (available via http://dx.doi.org/) Novitiae florae cubensis No. 16 CHRISTA BEURTON Angostura ossana (Rutaceae), a component of the Cuban flora Abstract Beurton, C.: Angostura ossana (Rutaceae), a component of the Cuban flora. – Willdenowia 34: 277- 289. – ISSN 0511-9618; © 2004 BGBM Berlin-Dahlem. The enigmatic Galipea ossana, described in 1822 and known from the type specimen said to originate from Cuba and only one other collections made before 1841 in a locality called San Diego, is reconsid- ered. Light microscopic and scanning electron microscopic examination of flower structure, fruits and pollen grains of the scarce material available show that the species actually is the only representative of the genus Angostura on the Antilles and a W Cuban endemic, closely related to A. trifoliata from Venezuela. The combination A. ossana is validated and the diagnostic features of this species and of A. trifoliata are illustrated. Introduction and taxonomic history Galipea ossana DC. is listed in the Flora de Cuba as a very rare W Cuban endemic (León & Alain 1951: 378). It was originally described in a detailed analysis by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1822 on the basis of a specimen received from Cuba, and he also gave an illustration of this specimen (Candolle 1822: t. 10, see Fig. 1). The specimen, preserved in the Candolle Her- barium (G-DC), includes a twig with leaves, an inflorescence with flower buds and an infruc- tescence with the fruits dehisced, and is still in good condition. Candolle received this specimen from La Ossa, at that time director of (the old) Botanical Garden La Habana, Cuba.

  • Rutaceae) Based on Rbcl and Atpb Sequences
    Major Clades of Australasian Rutoideae (Rutaceae) Based on rbcL and atpB Sequences Michael J. Bayly1*, Gareth D. Holmes1, Paul I. Forster2, David J. Cantrill3, Pauline Y. Ladiges1 1 School of Botany, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia, 2 Queensland Herbarium, Department of Science, Information Technology, Innovation and the Arts, Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Toowong, Queensland, Australia, 3 National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, South Yarra, Victoria, Australia Abstract Background: Rutaceae subfamily Rutoideae (46 genera, c. 660 species) is diverse in both rainforests and sclerophyll vegetation of Australasia. Australia and New Caledonia are centres of endemism with a number of genera and species distributed disjunctly between the two regions. Our aim was to generate a high-level molecular phylogeny for the Australasian Rutoideae and identify major clades as a framework for assessing morphological and biogeographic patterns and taxonomy. Methodology/Principal Findings: Phylogenetic analyses were based on chloroplast genes, rbcL and atpB, for 108 samples (78 new here), including 38 of 46 Australasian genera. Results were integrated with those from other molecular studies to produce a supertree for Rutaceae worldwide, including 115 of 154 genera. Australasian clades are poorly matched with existing tribal classifications, and genera Philotheca and Boronia are not monophyletic. Major sclerophyll lineages in Australia belong to two separate clades, each with an early divergence between rainforest and sclerophyll taxa. Dehiscent fruits with seeds ejected at maturity (often associated with myrmecochory) are inferred as ancestral; derived states include woody capsules with winged seeds, samaras, fleshy drupes, and retention and display of seeds in dehisced fruits (the last two states adaptations to bird dispersal, with multiple origins among rainforest genera).

  • Mackonochie Medicine-Chests
    Research paper Materia medica chests: Investigating the 19th century use of botanicals by different medical professions Marion Mackonochie, Michael Heinrich Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy, UCL School of Pharmacy, 29 – 39 Brunswick Square, University of London, WC1N 1AX, UK Abstract The use of herbal substances was an element of everyday medicine until the advent of synthetic medicines from the late 19th Century onwards. Medicinal chests were used as teaching and examination tools for apothecaries and pharmacists. The contents of two 19th Century materia medica chests that are owned by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in London (LSA) were analysed and compared with written texts from the time in order to understand botanical drug knowledge in 19th Century Britain. The samples in the chests and any associated information was documented and analysed. The pharmacists' examination chest contained 84 botanical drug samples, while 94 botanical drugs could be identified in the apothecaries' chest; 45 of these were present in both chests. Minimal changes in herb use over the 19th Century and limited variation of the botanical drugs used by different medical professionals were found. There are some differences with respect to the therapeutic areas which were of importance - the pharmacists' chest contained some potent purgatives and toxic drugs, while botanical drugs unique to the apothecaries' chest were gentle digestives and tonic herbs. Comparison of the chest contents with texts from the 19th Century has indicated that no single historical source provides a complete picture of the botanical drug use at the time. This is a pilot study highlighting the potential of such chests in research on the history of European herbal medicine, and a more systematic study including research on the botanical drugs' chemical composition and authenticity is warranted.
