SUPPORTING EVIDENCE: These species were added to Table 1 of the AOSA Rules for Testing Seeds in June 2001. The proposal for their addition to Table 1 did not include addition to Handbook 25. Catananche and the two species of Ipomoea are grown mainly as horticultural species and Clarkia bottae is a native species. References Brickell, C. and J.D. Zuk (eds.). 1997.

  • Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
    Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

LAWSON, MARY N. DAVIS, CAROLYN BRAZELL – Biology Department WILLIAM N. SETZER – Mentor – Chemistry Department Overview Antibiotic and antifungal resistance is a growing concern. Novel anti-tumor compounds are continuously sought after. If a novel phytochemical can be discovered with high specificity for certain types of cancer cells, then this could be an invaluable aid to oncological medicine. Plant-based drugs (phyto-pharmaceuticals) have always made up a considerable portion of our known medicines. The search for these plant medicines often begins with anthropological/ ethnobotanical research, as was the case here.

  • Larvicide of Aedes Aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) from Ipomoea Pes-Caprae (Solanales: Convolvulaceae) Musri Musman, Sofyatuddin Karina, Said Almukhsin

Corresponding author: M. Musman, [email protected] Abstract. This research aimed to evaluate larvicidal candidate of the extracts of whole parts (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds) of Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) R. Br. on Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) larvae. The criteria applied to select larvicidal candidate were (1) the concentration of the extract solution must be ≤ 50 ppm, and (2) the larval mortality due to administration of the extract should be reached ≥ 75%. The I. pes-caprae parts were extracted with methanol and water solvents. Refer to the criteria, the methanol extract of the I. pes-caprae leaf was selected as the larvicidal candidate of the A. aegypti larvae. The 3rd instar of A. aegypti larvae was tested with five kinds of concentration of an aqueous solution of I. pes-caprae leaf extracts by completely random design with four replications. The methanol extract of I. pes-caprae leaf showed a very strong larvicide (LC50 was 12.60 ppm) of A. aegypti larvae. Key Words: larvae, Aedes aegypti, Ipomoea pes-caprae, instar, larvicidal candidate, methanol extract. Introduction. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease spread by the Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762) mosquito with a rapid rate of transmission and occurs in tropical regions, subtropical, and temperate in the whole world. DHF is one health problem in the world which the number of sufferers have been gradually increasing in quantity (Rao et al 2011).

The use of these seeds is unsafe. They can cause hallucinogenic effects, nausea, vomiting, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure, (severe) fatigue and lethargy. These health effects can occur even when the seeds are consumed at the recommended dose. This is the conclusion of a risk assessment performed by RIVM. Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds are sold as raw seeds or in capsules. The raw seeds can be eaten as such, or after being crushed and dissolved in liquid (generally hot water).

Third Street, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Paul S. Manos ABSTRACT. Because recent molecular studies, based on multiple data sets from all three plant genomes, have indicated mutually congruent, well-resolved, and well-supported relationships within Convolvulaceae (the morning-glory family), a formal reclassi®cation of this family is presented here. Convolvulaceae, a large family of worldwide distribution, exhibiting a rich diversity of morphological characteristics and ecological habitats, are now circumscribed within twelve tribes. A key to these tribes of Convolvulaceae is offered. The group of spiny-pollen bearing Convolvulaceae (forming ``Echinoconiae'') and tribe Cuscuteae are retained essentially in their traditional sense, Cresseae are circumscribed with only minor modi®- cations, Convolvuleae and Erycibeae are recognized in a restricted sense, while Dichondreae and Maripeae are expanded. Also, to produce a tribal taxonomy that better re¯ects phylogenetic relationships, the concept of Poraneae is abandoned as arti®cial, three new tribes are recognized (Aniseieae, Cardiochlamyeae, and Jacquemontieae), and a new tribal status is proposed for the Malagasy endemic Humbertia (Humbertieae). ``Merremieae'' are tentatively retained even though the mono- phyly of this tribe is not certain.

HANSON Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACf Quantitative and qualitative features of wood and stem anatomy are presented for 44 collections of 16 genera and 35 species ofConvolvulaceae. Markedly furrowed xylem characterizes the genera of tribe Cresseae. Successive cambia occur in 11 of the genera studied. Large patches of axial parenchyma occur in many of these; only in one species was interxylary phloem (formed internally by the cambium) observed in the parenchyma patches. Intraxylary phloem at the periphery of the pith is universal in Convolvulaceae, but newly reported is the fact that in many species, cambial activity adds secondary phloem to the intraxylary phloem strands. These cambia were also observed to add limited amounts of secondary xylem externally in Ericybe and Operculina.
