Apocynaceae Family Pdf Apocynaceae family pdf Continue Back to the study article ON DIFFERENT PLANTS OF APOCYNACEAE FAMILY AND THEIR MEDICINAL USES The Apocynaceae are trees, shrubs and sometimes herbs, usually with milk juice, comprising about 200 genera and 2,000 species. The leaves are simple, usually opposite and decussate, or whorled; stipules are usually absent. Flowers are bisexual and actinomorphic and sometimes faintly zygomorphic. Calix is synsecopal and is usually 5-frontal. The consequence is sympetalous and is usually 5-frontal. The instigators are different, as much as the shares of the corolla and alternate with them, and adnate to the corolla tube (or periginous zone). The dusters are intrors and are usually committed to surface stigma. Gynoecium consists of a single compound pistil 2 carp, which can be different at the level of the superior or rarely partially inferior to the ovaries, but which are combined by one style. When different, each ovary usually has several to numerous ovules on the marginal placenta; When connate, the placenta is axil or invaded parietal. Nectarium, consisting of 5 glands or ring-shaped ring, is usually located at the base of the ovary. Fruits are usually follicle, capsule, or berries. The seeds are usually flat and winged or a bunch of hair at one end. Each thumbnail image below is associated with a larger photo. Alyxia oliviformis, mail. The bark and leaves of this native Hawaiian vine are used for fragrant lei. Alamanda Katahartika, Allamanda, Lani-Alia. Climbing ornamental shrubs from Brazil, with large yellow tubular flowers about 3 inches in diameter. The leaves contain a cleansing. Allamanda schottii, allamanda. A small shrub from Brazil, with yellow tubular flowers smaller than previous species. Fruits globose, spiky, burlike. Alstonia is a scientist, a devil's tree. Native of India in the Solomon Islands. UH Campus, Honolulu, HI, February 2005. Jerdonian's beaumontia. This species has a very wide corolla tube, making it easy to see the stigmatized dusters. Carissa macrocarpa, Natalia Plum. In this form, the 5-frontal corolla tube is very narrow. In the first image, look out for the paired red fruits that have evolved from the individual ovaries of a single pestle. They parted during maturation after the abscision of the unifying style (one ovary is often interrupted). Cascadela Thevetia, be still a tree. This is another example of a poisonous family member. Notice the small droplets of white juice seeping out of the bottom half of the fruit. Catarantus Rosus, Madagascar periwinkle. Perennial grass or low shrub from V. India, with white or pink, thinly tubular flowers; often used as a ground cover. Cerberus Mangas. Note the white juice oozing from cuts on the fruit. Juice from species like this has been used in arrow poisons. Oleander Narium, Oleander. It's very a family member. Flowers Flowers fringed additional appendages in the throat of the corolla. Pachypodium lamerei, Madagascar Palm, UC Davis Greenhouse. Plumeria obtusa, Singapore plumeria. This is one of the most common lei colors in Hawaii. Stemmadenia litoralis, leheso. A small ornamental tree from Central America with paired oval leaves about 6 inches long and yellow white tubular flowers about 2 inches long or more. Note the complete separation of the two carpels in the developing fruit on the right (one carpel dehiscing as follicle). Strofanthus sp. Tabernaemontana divaricata, Apokinace, paper carliers, crap jasmine. Shrubs from S.E. Asia, with white, often double flowers.

Collaboration between the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanic Gardens has created a list By combining several control sets of data, data, and other employees. The list of plants contains the adopted Latin name for most species, with references to all the synonyms for which this species was known. It also includes unauthorized names for which data sources do not contain sufficient evidence to decide whether they have been accepted or synonymous, or whether there are conflicting opinions that cannot be easily resolved. Below is a description of the content, creation and use of the list of plants. The list of plants is a widely available working list of known plant species and has been developed and distributed as a direct response to the Global Plant Conservation Strategy adopted in 2002 by the governments of 193 countries participating in the Convention on Biological Diversity. The GSPC was designed as a basis for action to stop the loss of plant diversity. Goal 1 Of the Strategy envisages the completion by 2010 of a widely available working list of all known plant species as a step towards the creation of a complete world flora. Released in December 2010, version 1 of the Plant List, designed for complex species of vascular plants (flowering plants, conifers, ferns and their allies) and briophites (mosses and liver).

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

  • 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.

  • Floral Glands in Asclepiads: Structure, Diversity and Evolution
    Acta Botanica Brasilica - 31(3): 477-502. July-September 2017. doi: 10.1590/0102-33062016abb0432 Review Floral glands in asclepiads: structure, diversity and evolution Diego Demarco1 Received: December 7, 2016 Accepted: February 24, 2017 . ABSTRACT Species of Apocynaceae stand out among angiosperms in having very complex fl owers, especially those of asclepiads, which belong to the most derived subfamily (Asclepiadoideae). Th ese fl owers are known to represent the highest degree of fl oral synorganization of the eudicots, and are comparable only to orchids. Th is morphological complexity may also be understood by observing their glands. Asclepiads have several protective and nuptial secretory structures. Th eir highly specifi c and specialized pollination systems are associated with the great diversity of glands found in their fl owers. Th is review gathers data regarding all types of fl oral glands described for asclepiads and adds three new types (glandular trichome, secretory idioblast and obturator), for a total of 13 types of glands. Some of the species reported here may have dozens of glands of up to 11 types on a single fl ower, corresponding to the largest diversity of glands recorded to date for a single structure.
