  • Misapplied Names, Synonyms and New Species of Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae) from South America
    KEW BULLETIN (2017) 72:9 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-017-9680-Y ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) Misapplied names, synonyms and new species of Ipomoea (Convolvulaceae) from South America John R. I. Wood1,2 & R. W. Scotland1 Summary. The identities of plants treated under the names Ipomoea goyazensis Gardner, I. bignonioides Sims, I. patula Choisy, I. fiebrigii Hassl. ex O’Donell, I. hirsutissima Gardner and I. carajasensis D. F. Austin are evaluated. It is shown that the name I. goyazensis should be used for the cerrado species often known under the name I. decora Meisn., rather than a plant from southern Brazil which is here described as a new species I. austrobrasiliensis J. R. I. Wood & Scotland. I. bignonioides Sims is synonymised with I. mauritiana Jacq., and an epitype is selected to fix the application of this name and ensure it is not confused with I. goyazensis. I. patula is lectotypified and treated as a synonym of the African I. crassipes Hook. The different recognised varieties of I. patula are evaluated; var. monticola Meisn. is treated as a species under the name I. langsdorffii Choisy; var. villosa Meisn. is shown to be a synonym of I. guaranitica Chodat & Hassl., in which is included the little-known species I. cornucopia Chodat & Hassl. Specimens from Paraguay, originally also treated as I. patula var. villosa or I. malvaeoides Meisn. var. ovata Hallier f., are treated as a distinct species named I. cordillerae J. R. I. Wood & Scotland. Plants from Brazil treated in various herbaria under the name of the Paraguayan species I.

  • Species Accounts
    Species accounts The list of species that follows is a synthesis of all the botanical knowledge currently available on the Nyika Plateau flora. It does not claim to be the final word in taxonomic opinion for every plant group, but will provide a sound basis for future work by botanists, phytogeographers, and reserve managers. It should also serve as a comprehensive plant guide for interested visitors to the two Nyika National Parks. By far the largest body of information was obtained from the following nine publications: • Flora zambesiaca (current ed. G. Pope, 1960 to present) • Flora of Tropical East Africa (current ed. H. Beentje, 1952 to present) • Plants collected by the Vernay Nyasaland Expedition of 1946 (Brenan & collaborators 1953, 1954) • Wye College 1972 Malawi Project Final Report (Brummitt 1973) • Resource inventory and management plan for the Nyika National Park (Mill 1979) • The forest vegetation of the Nyika Plateau: ecological and phenological studies (Dowsett-Lemaire 1985) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 1997 report (Patel 1999) • Biosearch Nyika Expedition 2001 report (Patel & Overton 2002) • Evergreen forest flora of Malawi (White, Dowsett-Lemaire & Chapman 2001) We also consulted numerous papers dealing with specific families or genera and, finally, included the collections made during the SABONET Nyika Expedition. In addition, botanists from K and PRE provided valuable input in particular plant groups. Much of the descriptive material is taken directly from one or more of the works listed above, including information regarding habitat and distribution. A single illustration accompanies each genus; two illustrations are sometimes included in large genera with a wide morphological variance (for example, Lobelia).

This study was aimed on evaluation of physical standards of milk yam tubers during its different growth stages so as to assess its optimum stage of harvest maturity for better drug quality. Milk yam vine cuttings having two nodes were raised in polybags and depotted carefully after tuber formation at tri-monthly intervals for a period of two years and subjected to quantitative phytochemical analysis. Tubers harvested at twenty one months after planting recorded optimum physical standards viz., minimum moisture content (57.80 per cent), optimally less crude fiber (6.19 per cent), high ash values (total ash -4.47 per cent, water soluble ash – 3.22 per cent and acid insoluble ash – 0.60 per cent), starch content – 39.17 per cent and pH value, 5.29. Twenty one months after planting is identified as optimum maturity stage for harvesting the tubers with better quality. Keywords: harvest, maturity, nutraceutical, phytochemical, ksheervidari, standards Introduction Ipomoea digitata L. (2n=30) is a type of morning glory plant commonly called Milk Yam in English, Ksheervidari in Sanskrit and Vidharikand in Hindi.

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.

  • Phylogeny and Systematics of the Rauvolfioideae
    PHYLOGENY AND SYSTEMATICS Andre´ O. Simo˜es,2 Tatyana Livshultz,3 Elena OF THE RAUVOLFIOIDEAE Conti,2 and Mary E. Endress2 (APOCYNACEAE) BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE1 ABSTRACT To elucidate deeper relationships within Rauvolfioideae (Apocynaceae), a phylogenetic analysis was conducted using sequences from five DNA regions of the chloroplast genome (matK, rbcL, rpl16 intron, rps16 intron, and 39 trnK intron), as well as morphology. Bayesian and parsimony analyses were performed on sequences from 50 taxa of Rauvolfioideae and 16 taxa from Apocynoideae. Neither subfamily is monophyletic, Rauvolfioideae because it is a grade and Apocynoideae because the subfamilies Periplocoideae, Secamonoideae, and Asclepiadoideae nest within it. In addition, three of the nine currently recognized tribes of Rauvolfioideae (Alstonieae, Melodineae, and Vinceae) are polyphyletic. We discuss morphological characters and identify pervasive homoplasy, particularly among fruit and seed characters previously used to delimit tribes in Rauvolfioideae, as the major source of incongruence between traditional classifications and our phylogenetic results. Based on our phylogeny, simple style-heads, syncarpous ovaries, indehiscent fruits, and winged seeds have evolved in parallel numerous times. A revised classification is offered for the subfamily, its tribes, and inclusive genera. Key words: Apocynaceae, classification, homoplasy, molecular phylogenetics, morphology, Rauvolfioideae, system- atics. During the past decade, phylogenetic studies, (Civeyrel et al., 1998; Civeyrel & Rowe, 2001; Liede especially those employing molecular data, have et al., 2002a, b; Rapini et al., 2003; Meve & Liede, significantly improved our understanding of higher- 2002, 2004; Verhoeven et al., 2003; Liede & Meve, level relationships within Apocynaceae s.l., leading to 2004; Liede-Schumann et al., 2005). the recognition of this family as a strongly supported Despite significant insights gained from studies clade composed of the traditional Apocynaceae s.

O. Box 461, SE-405 30 Göteborg, Sweden. alexandre.antonelli@ botany.gu.se (author for correspondence) Relationships of and within the Rubiaceae tribe Cinchoneae were estimated based on DNA sequence variation in five loci: the ITS region, the matK and rbcL genes, the rps16 intron, and the trnL-F region including the trnL intron and the trnL-F intergenic spacer. Within Cinchonoideae s.s., the tribe Naucleeae is the sister group of a clade that comprises all other taxa. Cinchoneae and Isertieae s.s., are strongly supported as sister groups. The tribe Cinchoneae is strongly supported as monophyletic in a restricted sense, including the genera Cinchona, Cinchonopsis, Joosia, Ladenbergia, Remijia and Stilpnophyllum. There is strong support that these genera are monophyletic as presently conceived, except that one species mostly referred to Remijia is of uncer- tain phylogenetic affinity. To accommodate this species and a morphologically closely similar one, a new genus, Ciliosemina A. Antonelli, is proposed and two new combinations are made.

E, Mail: [email protected] (Received in revised form: May 25, 2018 ) ABSTRACT We evaluated the allelopathic potential of 239 Paraguayan plants using the sandwich method. The samples were collected from 3-different regions of Paraguay. A total of 130 species, 47 families were collected from (i). Botanical Garden and Zoo of Asunción and its surroundings, (ii). 71 species (40 families) from Mbaracayú Natural Reserve and (iii). 38 species (25 families) from the Chaco region. We found the species with high inhibitory potential, such as Cleome aculeata (Cleomaceae), which completely inhibited the germination of lettuce. Others spp. strongly inhibited the growth of lettuce seedlings viz., Strychnos brasiliensis (Loganiaceae), Pterogyne nitens (Fabaceae), Sorocea bonplandii (Moraceae), Rollinia emarginata (Annonaceae), Microstachys hispida (Euphorbiaceae), Prosopis ruscifolia (Fabaceae) and Senna sp. (Fabaceae). These results demonstrated high allelopathic potential of Paraguayan plant species. Key words: Allelopathy, Cleome aculeata, germination, lettuce, Paraguayan plants, Pterogyne nitens, sandwich method, seedling growth, Sorocea bonplandii, Strychnos brasiliensis. INTRODUCTION South America has rich biodiversity and is the centre of origin of several cultivated plants (19,47). Paraguay, also called “the heart of South America” due to its geographical location, also has rich flora and fauna (24,44).

  • Vegetation and Functioning of Terrestrial Ecosystems Fapesp, August 7, 2014
    First preparatory workshop Vegetation and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems Fapesp, August 7, 2014 12 projects were summarized: Ecosystem functioning, monitoring and restoration: 6 Genetics: 3 Vegetation: 3 “The origin of the emerging populations of the Brachiaria collar rot pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA) in the Amazon and its potential for adaptation to another Brazilian agroecosystem” Coordinator: Paulo Cezar Ceresini FAPESP Grants: 11/50150-3 (Programa-Biota), 11/23050-8, 13/11944-0 Objective 1: Disease etiology To elucidate the etiology of Brachiaria collar rot and determine the relative importance of the main AGs associated as pathogen in the Brazilin Amazon and in Colombia Llanos agroecosystems Objectives 2, 3 and 4: To determinate the origin of the disease based on the genetic structure of Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA populations from the Brazilian Amazon and the Colombian Llanos. summary - R. solani AG1-IA is the major pathogen associated to the Brachiaria collar rot in the Brazilian Amazon Biome and in the Colombian Llanos; In Pará state, we also detected the association of R. oryzae and R. zeae with Brachiaria‘s collar rot; - A Waitea complex causing Brachiaria‘s collar rot was also detected in Mato Grosso state. - In the Paraíba Valley the major pathogen associated with the rice sheath spot was R. oryzae- sativae. It was also detected gene flow between this region and the Colombian Llanos; - We also detected R. solani AG1-ID infecting cowpea in Roraima state. - A newly described AG (R. solani AG1-IF) was found as the major pathogen associated with leaf blight on soybean and cowpea in Roraima state.
