Leaves alternate, rarely opposite (never in Chinese taxa), simple and often palmately lobed, palmately compound, or 1–3-pinnately compound, usually crowded toward apices of branches, base of petiole often broad and sheathing stem, stipules absent or forming a ligule or membranous border of petiole. Inflorescence terminal or pseudo-lateral (by delayed development), um- bellate, compound-umbellate, racemose, racemose-umbellate, or racemose-paniculate, ultimate units usually umbels or heads, occa- sionally racemes or spikes, flowers rarely solitary; bracts usually present, often caducous, rarely foliaceous. Flowers bisexual or unisexual, actinomorphic. Pedicels often jointed below ovary and forming an articulation. Calyx absent or forming a low rim, some- times undulate or with short teeth. Corolla of (3–)5(–20) petals, free or rarely united, mostly valvate, sometimes imbricate. Stamens usually as many as and alternate with petals, sometimes numerous, distinct, inserted at edge of disk; anthers versatile, introrse, 2- celled (or 4-celled in some non-Chinese taxa), longitudinally dehiscent. Disk epigynous, often fleshy, slightly depressed to rounded or conic, sometimes confluent with styles. Ovary inferior (rarely secondarily superior in some non-Chinese taxa), (1 or)2–10(to many)-carpellate; carpels united, with as many locules; ovules pendulous, 2 per locule, 1 abortive; styles as many as carpels, free or partially united, erect or recurved, or fully united to form a column; stigmas terminal or decurrent on inner face of styles, or sessile on disk, circular to elliptic and radiating.

(Araliaceae) is a genus of rainforest trees and shrubs from southeastern Asia and the western Pacific (Philipson 1979; Frodin and Govaerts 2003). All of the 60 currently recognized species are characterized by large umbelliform panicles composed of several to many three-branched inflorescence units. Each inflorescence unit terminates in a stalked head or umbellule that develops sterile baccate “pseudo-fruits” and two lateral stalked heads or umbellules with fertile bisexual flowers and fruits.

The dichloromethane and alcoholic extracts were screened for AChE inhibitory activity using Ellman's method. Out of 31 plant species, the methanol extracts of Rhapis excelsa leaves (97.03 ± 3.71 %), Diospyros blancoi leaves (95.80 ± 1.57 %) and Phyllantus elegans root (83.22 ± 3.08 %) showed the highest AChE inhibitory activity at the concentration of 100 µg/mL.

  • Terra Australis 30
    terra australis 30 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

In particular, university and NGO experts provided significant help in identifying species. Many of the plants species were identified by Prof. J. Maxwell of Chiang Mai University. Richard Burnett of the Upland Holistic Development Project helped identify rattan species. Dr. Rattanawat Chaiyarat of Mahidol Universitys Kanchanaburi Research Station assisted with frog identification. Pictures of the fish species, including endemic and unknown species, were sent to Dr. Chavalit Witdhayanon of World Wildlife Fund - Thailand and examined by his students. Prof. Philip Round of Mahidol University identified one bird from a fuzzy picture, and John Parr, author of A Guide to the Large Mammals of Thailand, gave comments on an early draft of this report. Miss Prapaporn Pangkeaw of Southeast Asia Rivers Network also made invaluable contributions. E-Desk provided invaluable resources and encouragement. Finally, we must give our greatest thanks to the local people of Khoe Kay and Baw Ka Der villages, who shared their time, knowledge, experience and homes with us while we recorded our findings.

  • IX Apiales Symposium
    IX Apiales Symposium Abstract Book 31 July – 2 August 2017 The Gold Coast Marina Club Guangzhou, China Compiled and edited by: Alexei Oskolski Maxim Nuraliev Patricia Tilney Introduction We are pleased to announce that the Apiales IX Symposium will be held from 31 July to 2 August 2017 at the The Gold Coast Marina Club in Guangzhou, China. This meeting will continue the series of very successful gatherings in Reading (1970), Perpignan (1977), St. Louis (1999), Pretoria (2003), Vienna (2005), Moscow (2008), Sydney (2011) and Istanbul (2014), where students of this interesting group of plants had the opportunity to share results of recent studies. As with the previous symposia, the meeting in Guangzhou will focus on all research fields relating to the systematics and phylogeny of Apiales (including morphology, anatomy, biogeography, floristics), as well as to ecology, ethnobotany, pharmaceutical and natural products research in this plant group.

Box 1696, Koror, Palau 96940 TARITA HOLM Palau Conservation Society/PALARIS, P.O. Box 1811, Koror, Palau, 96940 Abstract—An official checklist of the endemic plant species of Palau has been long awaited, and is presented here for the first time. For each species a substrate limitation, growth form, and relative abundance is listed. In addition an IUCN red list assessment was conducted using all available data. For over half of the endemic species there is insufficient data to provide a red listing status however an expected minimum number of threatened plants out of the total is inferred.
