Shokrzadeh1 and S. S. Saeedi Saravi2* 1Department of Toxicology-Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran. 2Faculty of Pharmacy, Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran. Accepted 16 December, 2009 Sambucus ebulus is known as dwarf elder or elderberry. S. ebulus extracts are an important area in drug development with numerous pharmacological functions in the Middle East. However, their pharmacological functions have not been clearly studied. For a long time, S. ebulus has been prescribed in traditional medicines for the treatment of inflammatory reactions, such as hemorrhoid, bites and sore-throat. In addition, S. ebulus has recently been shown to have anti-inflammatory, anti- nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti-angiogenic and anti-oxidative activities. Ebulitin, ebulin 1, flavonoid, athocyanin and other components have been isolated from S. ebulus and identified as active ingredients of biological and pharmacological activities. Due to the easy collection of the plant and remarkable biological activities, this plant has become both food and medicine in the coastal area of Iran. This review presents comprehensive analyzed information on the botanical, chemical, toxico- pharmacological and clinical aspects of S. ebulus. Key words: Sambucus ebulus, Adoxaceae, RIPs, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-cancer, anti- oxidative. INTRODUCTION Sambucus ebulus whose common name is dwarf elder, Iran and distributed in moist grasslands or forest margins elderberry or danewort, is a native perennial herb of the on Northern coast of Caspian Sea, Iran (Azadbakht, Adoxaceae family in the order of the Dipsacales, that 1999).

Japanese Honeysuckle Wildland (Lonicera Japonica Thunb.) Gary N
Japanese Honeysuckle Wildland (Lonicera japonica Thunb.) Gary N. Ervin, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Mississippi State University John D. Madsen, Ph.D., Extension/Research Professor, Mississippi State University Ryan M. Wersal, Research Associate, Mississippi State University Fig. 1. Japanese honeysuckle vine climbing up a tree. Fig. 2. Flowers of Japanese honeysuckle. Introduction Problems Created Japanese honeysuckle was introduced from Japan in the early 1800s and now is one of the most commonly encoun- tered exotic weeds in the Mid-South. This species frequently overtops and displaces native plants and forestry species in any habitat, but particularly where natural or human activities creates edges. Japanese honeysuckle also is somewhat shade tolerant and can be found in relatively densely canopied forest. This species perenniates with the aid of well de- veloped root and rhizome systems, by which it also is capable of spreading vegetatively, in addition to rooting at nodes along aboveground stems. Both features contribute substantially to its rapid dominance over native vegetation. Regulations Japanese honeysuckle is listed as a noxious weed in CT, MA, NH, and VT. In the southeast, Japanese honeysuckle is considered a severe invasion threat in KY, SC, and TN. It is considered one of the top ten invasive plants in GA, and is listed as a category one invasive in Florida. It is not presently listed in any noxious weed legislation in southern states. Description Vegetative Growth Japanese honeysuckle exhibits a semi-evergreen to evergreen life cycle and is readily identified during winter by its per- sistent green foliage. Its vines may climb and/or spread along the ground to lengths of 80’.

Do Not Plant List
April 30, 2019 Dear Co-owner, Last spring, the Landscape Committee reviewed their goals and objectives. Their four (4) goals and objectives are: foster resident participation and sense of community, support a safe environment though minimal use of lawn applications, work to eliminate invasive plants, and remove dead, diseased, or dangerous plantings. In an effort to eliminate invasive plants throughout Pittsfield Village, the Landscape Committee, together with the Board of Directors and the Village’s horticulturist, worked diligently to adopt the enclosed Do Not Plant List. The Landscape Committee encourages you to familiarize yourself with the Do Not Plant List. Each listing includes the botanical and common name of each plant, along with an easily identifiable photo, a brief description, and recommended alternative plantings. The Do Not Plant List becomes effective on May 30, 2019. Please remove all invasive plantings from your garden bed by this date. If these plants are not removed by May 30, 2019, you will be in violation of this policy. If you are not a Garden Marker Program participant, the plant will be removed by the Association. If you are a Garden Marker participant, you will receive a violation notice. If you have any questions pertaining to the plants listed on the Do Not Plant List, you are invited to attend a Landscape Committee Meeting. If you would like to make an appeal, please attend a monthly Board of Directors’ Meeting. The Landscape Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6:00pm at the Community Building. The Board of Directors meets on the last Wednesday of each month at the Community Building, open forum begins promptly at 6:15pm.

Phylogeny and Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Dipsacales, with Special Reference to Sinadoxa and Tetradoxa (Adoxaceae)
PHYLOGENY AND PHYLOGENETIC TAXONOMY OF DIPSACALES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO SINADOXA AND TETRADOXA (ADOXACEAE) MICHAEL J. DONOGHUE,1 TORSTEN ERIKSSON,2 PATRICK A. REEVES,3 AND RICHARD G. OLMSTEAD 3 Abstract. To further clarify phylogenetic relationships within Dipsacales,we analyzed new and previously pub- lished rbcL sequences, alone and in combination with morphological data. We also examined relationships within Adoxaceae using rbcL and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. We conclude from these analyses that Dipsacales comprise two major lineages:Adoxaceae and Caprifoliaceae (sensu Judd et al.,1994), which both contain elements of traditional Caprifoliaceae.Within Adoxaceae, the following relation- ships are strongly supported: (Viburnum (Sambucus (Sinadoxa (Tetradoxa, Adoxa)))). Combined analyses of C ap ri foliaceae yield the fo l l ow i n g : ( C ap ri folieae (Diervilleae (Linnaeeae (Morinaceae (Dipsacaceae (Triplostegia,Valerianaceae)))))). On the basis of these results we provide phylogenetic definitions for the names of several major clades. Within Adoxaceae, Adoxina refers to the clade including Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa, and Adoxa.This lineage is marked by herbaceous habit, reduction in the number of perianth parts,nectaries of mul- ticellular hairs on the perianth,and bifid stamens. The clade including Morinaceae,Valerianaceae, Triplostegia, and Dipsacaceae is here named Valerina. Probable synapomorphies include herbaceousness,presence of an epi- calyx (lost or modified in Valerianaceae), reduced endosperm,and distinctive chemistry, including production of monoterpenoids. The clade containing Valerina plus Linnaeeae we name Linnina. This lineage is distinguished by reduction to four (or fewer) stamens, by abortion of two of the three carpels,and possibly by supernumerary inflorescences bracts. Keywords: Adoxaceae, Caprifoliaceae, Dipsacales, ITS, morphological characters, phylogeny, phylogenetic taxonomy, phylogenetic nomenclature, rbcL, Sinadoxa, Tetradoxa.

Japanese Honeysuckle)
No. 09 March 2010 Lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Initial Introduction and Expansion in Range Introduced to the United States in the early to mid-1800s as an ornamental plant, Lonicera japonica is native to East Asia, including Japan and Korea. It is still promoted by some landscapes architects for its rapid growth and fragrant flowers that linger on the vine throughout most of the summer. Wildlife managers have promoted the plant as winter forage, particularly for deer. Still others are nostalgic about this plant, remembering the sweet nectar they enjoyed as children. Lonicera japonica is now found across the southern United States from California to New England and the Great Lakes Region. Lonicera japonica spreads locally by long aboveground runners and underground rhizomes. The runners develop roots at the nodes (stem and leaf junctions) so this plant often forms dense mats. Under high light conditions, the plants are able to flower and produce fruits that can be dispersed long distances primarily by birds. Description and Biology • Perennial trailing or twining vine. In North Carolina, it is considered semi-evergreen to evergreen. • Young stems are slender, while older stems are hollow and up to 2 inches in diameter with brownish bark that peels in long strips. • Oblong to oval shaped leaves are 1 to 2 and a half inches long arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. Mature leaves have smooth edges and young leaves are often lobed. • White and pale yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers occur in pairs from between the leaves and bloom from late April to August. • Small, nearly spherical, black fruits mature in autumn.

Elderberry, Or Have Respect for Your Elders!
Enchanted Elderberry, or Have Respect for Your Elders! Elderberries have been blooming along roadsides. Their blossoms spread across the bushes like white lace doilies. Do you remember infamous poison-laced elderberry wine that was used to put lonely gentlemen out of their misery by little old ladies in the comedy, "Arsenic and Old Lace"? Did "old lace" refer to the ladies, the "laced" wine, or the appearance of elderberry blossoms? Who knows? Image 1: A nice colony blooming several years ago off Gilgal Road in Abbeville County. Many tiny white flowers form a large more or less flat-topped blossom known botanically as a cyme. Each flower is "complete" with five sepals, five petals, five stamens that produce pollen, and one pistil that produces eggs and seed. And as complete flowers they are also "perfect" because both male and female parts are present. Incomplete flowers lacking sepals or petals can still be perfect as long as both male and female structures are present! Image 2: One cluster of flowers, a cyme. Image 3: Individual flowers. Can you count petals and stamens? By summer’s end bushes will be in fruit, and, botanically speaking each fruit is a drupe! Other familiar examples of drupes are cherries, peaches, and olives, fruits that have a single seed surrounded by the fleshy part that developed from the flower's ovary. Image 4: Beautiful juicy ripe drupes ready for pie, jelly or wine. Elderberry is in the honeysuckle family, Caprifoliaceae, whose Greek root words mean "goat leaves." That makes sense for most honeysuckles, with undivided (simple) leaves in twos arranged opposite one another on the stem, and shaped sort of like goat’s ears! Leaves of elderberry also have opposite arrangement, but they are compound leaves, with the green blade divided into smaller leaflets not at all resembling goat’s ears! Their leaves actually resemble somewhat those of an ash tree.
