Onosma malkarmayorum TEPPNER, spec, nova, is a low suffrutex with well de- veloped sterile shoots at flowering time. The asterotrichous indumentum usually is strongly appressed on the very narrow basal leaves and more or less obliquely patent otherwise. Upper stem leaves are dilated near the base, bracts are relatively long, the calyx is c. half as long as the corolla, the latter appears dark yellow. The plant occurs in the West Rhodope Mountains. The chromosome number is 2n = 38, which can be interpreted as hypohexaploid in relation to the basic chromosome number of x = 7, usually found in asterotrichous species. Potential parents may be O. stojanoffii (TURRILL) TEPPNER (2n = 14), the most similar species, and a tetraploid type of O. heterophylla GRISEB. (2n = 26). Zusammenfassung TEPPNER H. 2008.

    PHCOG REV. REVIEW ARTICLE Onosma L.: A review of phytochemistry and ethnopharmacology Neeraj Kumar, Rajnish Kumar, Kamal Kishore1 Departments of Pharmacy, Shri Ram Murti Smarak College of Engineering and Technology, 1M. J. P. Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India Submitted: 04-04-2013 Revised: 10-05-2013 Published: **-**-**** ABSTRACT The genus Onosma L. (Boraginaceae) includes about 150 species distributed world-wide in which only about 75 plants has been described for its morphology and less than 10 plants for their chemical constituents and clinical potential. The phytochemical reports of this genus revels that it comprise mainly aliphatic ketones, lipids, naphthazarins, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, naphthoquinones, flavones while most important are shikonins and onosmins. The plants are traditionally used as laxative, anthelmintic and for alexipharmic effects. The plants are also equally use in eye, blood diseases, bronchitis, abdominal pain, stangury, thirst, itch, lecoderma, fever, wounds, burns, piles and urinary calculi. The flowers of various plants are prescribed as stimulants, cardiotonic, in body swelling while leaves are used as purgative and in cutaneous eruptions. The roots are used for coloring food stuffs, oils and dying wool and in medicinal preparations. This review emphasizes the distribution, morphology, phytochemical constituents, ethnopharmacology, which may help in future research.

The species is endemic to Napa, Solano, and Yolo counties, California, where it grows in vernal pools, vernal swales, and other moist areas in grasslands. Associated species include wetland and upland grasses and forbs typically found in the vernal pool-grassland ecotone.

IN the present paper an attempt ha been made to give a critical descriptive account of the American specie of ~he subfamily Boragi­ noideae now known from south of Panama. The specie of thi group were last brought together in the general account of the whole sub­ family published in 1 46 in the 10th volume of DeCandolle' Pro- - dromus. Since the appearance of this scholarly treatment great changes have come about, the generic classification ha been well nigh remade and the great abundance of the group in the Chilean flora has become known, the recognized species being much more than doubled. The subfamily having the South American di tributional center in Chile, the recent work dealing most extensively with the e plant is Reiche's account of the family published serially in the .A.nale de la Universidad de Chile (vol. cxxi) in 1907 and 1908 and as part of his Flora de Chile (vol. v) in 1910. This treatment is very di appointing, for through the author's careless and often manife tly inaccurate in­ terpretations of the Philippian species, the type of which he might have studied, he has only added to that confusion in the literature on the Chilean flora that first arose from R.

    Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) By Christopher Matthew Guilliams A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Professor David Ackerly Professor Brent Mishler Professor Patrick O'Grady Summer 2015 Abstract Diversification, biogeography, and classification of Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae), with an emphasis on the popcornflowers (Plagiobothrys) by Christopher Matthew Guilliams Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Bruce G. Baldwin, Chair Amsinckiinae is a diverse and ecologically important subtribe of annual herbaceous or perennial suffrutescent taxa with centers of distribution in western North America and southern South America. Taxa in the subtribe occur in all major ecosystems in California and more broadly in western North America, from the deserts of Baja California in the south where Johnstonella and Pectocarya are common, north to the ephemeral wetland ecosystems of the California Floristic Province where a majority of Plagiobothrys sect. Allocarya taxa occur, and east to the Basin and Range Province of western North America, where Cryptantha sensu stricto (s.s.) and Oreocarya are well represented. The subtribe minimally includes 9 genera: Amsinckia, Cryptantha s.s., Eremocarya, Greeneocharis, Harpagonella, Johnstonella, Oreocarya, Pectocarya, and Plagiobothrys; overall minimum-rank taxonomic diversity in the subtribe is ca. 330-342 taxa, with ca. 245--257 taxa occurring in North America, 86 in South America, and 4 in Australia. Despite their prevalence on the landscape and a history of active botanical research for well over a century, considerable research needs remain in Amsinckiinae, especially in one of the two largest genera, Plagiobothrys.

Accepted 27 October, 2011 In this study, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Onosma frutescens Lam. and Onosma inexspectata Teppner were investigated. O. inexspectata is an endemic species. Both examined species have secondary root structure, and cortex is multilayered and composed of parenchymatical cells. While, xylem is composed of sclerenchymatic cells and tracheary elements in roots of O. frutescens, xylem is composed of tracheal elements in roots of O. inexspectata. Glandular and eglandular trichomes are present on the epidermis of stem of both species. Parenchyma cells are 28.12 ± 7.55 × 24.90 ± 5.42 in stem of O. frutescens. Parenchyma cells are 37.35 ± 8.66 × 17.09 ± 3.44 in stem of O. inexspectata. Stomata are anisocytic and anomocytic. Vascular bundles are surrounded by a parenchymatic sheat in both species.
