Keywords: chromosome number, invasive species, parental origin Introduction Sphagneticola Hoffmann (1900: 36) (Asteraceae-Heliantheae) is a small genus of four species that are common at lower elevations in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world (though not known to occur in Africa), including S. brachycarpa (Baker 1884: 181) Pruski (1996: 411), S. calendulacea (Linnaeus 1753: 902) Pruski (1996: 411), S. gracilis (Richard 1807: 490) Pruski (1996: 412), and S. trilobata (Linnaeus 1759: 1233) Pruski (Pruski 1996: 412). Among them, the widespread Asian S. calendulacea is the only species native to China (Fujian, Guangong, Liaoning, Taiwan). Sphagneticola trilobata, native to the New World tropics but widespread in the Old World tropics, was originally cultivated as an ornamental ground cover in China but now has become an invasive species at least in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Taiwan (Chen & Head 2011).

Macanawai Tropical Weed Research Unit, Plant Protection Section, Koronivia Research Station, Ministry of Agriculture, Nausori, Fiji Received: January 03, 2013 / Accepted: March 02, 2013 / Published: June 30, 2013. Abstract: Wedelia (Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski) has become one of the most dominant invasive plant species in Fiji. However, the soil seed bank of its monospecific stand and its ability to reproduce by seed is relatively unknown. A soil seed bank study was undertaken in a monospecific stand of S. trilobata in Sawani, Natavea and Wainivesi in south-east Viti Levu, Fiji in March 2012. The soil samples were collected from within 1.0 m2 quadrat taken at 10 spots in each of the study areas and spread thinly over a base of Yates Thrive Premium potting mix in seedling trays and placed in a glasshouse at Koronivia Research Station, Fiji. A total of 23, 26 and 33 plant species were found in the soil seed bank in Wainivesi, Sawani and Natavea respectively which may have succumbed to S. trilobata invasiability. There were ca. 3,800 (17%), 2,100 (11%) and 2,600 (6%) germinable S. trilobata seeds·m-2 in the soil seed bank in Wainivesi, Sawani and Natavea areas respectively. This study has demonstrated that S. trilobata seeds may have a role in the spread of the invasive species in Fiji and movement of soil to S.

Wedelia is an extensive genus of the family Asteraceae, comprising about 60 different species. Wedelia trilobata Linn. has long been used as traditional herbal medicine in South America, China, Japan, India and for the treatment of a variety of ailments. The aim of this review was to collect all available scientific literature published and combine it into this review. The present review comprises the ethnopharmacological, phytochemical and therapeutic potential of W. trilobata. An exhaustive survey of literature revealed that tannin, saponins, flavonoids, phenol, terpenoids constitute major classes of phytoconstituents of this plant. Pharmacological reports revealed that this plant has antioxidant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, larvicidal, trypanocidal, uterine contraction, antitumor, hepatoprotective, and in the treatment of diabetes, menstrual pain and reproductive problems in women. W. trilobata seems to hold great potential for in-depth investigation for various biological activities, especially their effects on inflammation, bacterial infections, and reproductive system.

Abstract: Climate change and invasive alien species threaten biodiversity. High temperature is a worrying ecological factor. Most responses of invasive plants aimed at coping with adversity are focused on the physiological level. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the response of an invasive plant (Sphagneticola trilobata L.) to high temperature, using a native species (Sphagneticola calendulacea L.) as the control, relevant indicators, including photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, the antioxidant system, and related enzyme-coding genes were measured. The results showed that the leaves of S. calendulacea turned yellow, photosynthetic pigment content (Chl a, Chl b, Car, Chl) decreased, gas exchange (Pn) and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, FPSII) decreased under high temperature.

Raya Pajajaran, Bogor and South East Asian Regional Center for Tropical Biology (SEAMEO BIOTROP) P.O. Box 116, Bogor, Indonesia. ABSTRACT An account of the tribe composition, endemic taxa, comparison with adjacent areas and weedy Asteraceae of Sumatera is given. Based on the records of January 2000, there are 133 species of 74 genera in 11 tribes. The tribe Heliantheae is the largest, with 28% of the total number of the genera, followed by Astereae with 15%, Inuleae 12%, Senecioneae 10%, Anthemideae, Eupatorieae and Lactuceae 8%, the other tribes are represented by 4% or less. The most diverse genus is Blumea with 14 species. Other genera are only represented by 10 species or less, usually 4, or 3, or 2, and mostly by 1 species only. Thirty nine or about 53% are exotic genera and the native ones are less than half of the total number of the genera. In terms of indigenous and endemic species, Sumatera is richer than Java. There are 1 genus, 7 species and 2 varieties of Asteraceae endemic to Sumatera. A number of 43 important weed species were introduced from Tropical America, Africa, Asia and Europe. Among these Chromolaena odorata and Mikania micrantha are reported as the most noxious ones. List of the genera and species recorded in Sumatera is provided in this paper. Key words : Asteraceae/Sumatera/compositions/endemic species/distribution/weedy Asteraceae INTRODUCTION Asteraceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants which has not been revised for the Flora Malesiana (Ross 1993).

J.F. Pruski is one of the perennial herbs that is widely used by the national and international community to treat various diseases including cancer. The objective of this study was to assessment the anticancer activity of n-hexane extract of S. trilobata leaves for inhibiting the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in vitro by MTT (microculture tetrazolium salt) method. The n-hexane extract of sernai leaves was obtained from the maceration process of samples that were collected from the Langsa city, Aceh. The cytotoxicity test was carried out by incubating MCF-7 cells which had been exposed to several series of sample levels, viz. 1000; 500; 100; 50; 25; 10; 5 and 1 µg/mL.

Most studies on the physiological mechanisms of plants focus on leaves, but few studies focus on stems. To study the tolerance of invasive plant (Sphagneticola trilobata L.) to low tempera- ture, relevant physiological indicators (including anthocyanin and chlorophyll) in diferent organs (leaves and stems) were analyzed, using a native species (Sphagneticola calendulacea L.) as the control. The results showed that, upon exposure to low temperature for 15 days, the stems of two Sphagneticola species were markedly reddened, their anthocyanin content increased, chlorophyll and chlorophyll fuorescence parameters decreased, and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species in the stem increased. The percentage increases of antioxidants and total antioxidant capacities in stems were signifcantly higher in S. trilobata than in S. calendulacea. This showed that S. trilobata had higher cold tolerance in stems while leaves were opposite. To further verify the higher cold tolerance of the stem of S. trilobata, a defoliation experiment was designed. We found that the defoliated stem of S. trilobata reduced anthocyanin accumulation and increased chlorophyll content, while alleviating membrane lipid damage and electrical conductivity, and the defoliated stem still showed an increase in stem diameter and biomass under low temperature.
