Erigeron, Compositae, Antibacterial Activity 1. Introduction According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Erigeron is a common group of Compositae plants. Erigeron the use of herbal remedies throughout the world exceeds annuus (L.) Pers. (himejyon in Japanese), is now as that of the conventional drugs by two to three times.27 naturalized weeds, widely distributed throughout urban and Herbal medicine is still the mainstay of about 75 - 80% of rural areas of Japan.40 The leaves of E. canadensis have been the world population, mainly in the developing countries, reportedly used to prepare a tonic efficient in the treatment for primary health care. 28 This is primarily because of the of diarrhea, diabetes and hemorrhages.41,42 Erigeron general belief that herbal drugs are without any side effects linifolius is widely distributed throughout the tropics. In the besides being cheap and locally available.29 The WHO has Philippines, the leaves are used for the treatment of recently defined traditional medicine (including herbal rheumatism and as prevention for too rapid conception. A drugs) as comprising therapeutic practices that have been in cataplasm of the fresh plant is applied on wounds, existence, often for hundreds of years, before the contusions and dislocations.43Erigeron karvinskianus DC. in development and spread of modern medicine and arestill in Central America was treated broadly by D’Arcy 30 and use today. Traditional medicine is the synthesis of Nash,31 but significant variation has escaped notice in such therapeutic experience of generations of practicing an inclusive view. This species, which probably occurs physicians of indigenous system of medicine. Traditional natively only in Mexico and Central America, and a group preparations comprise medicinal plants, minerals and of lesser known close relatives have been recognized as organic matter etc. Herbal drugs constitute only those Erigeron sect.

Hedge: Honorary Associate, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, EH3 5LR, Scotland, U.K. ([email protected]) Abstract A provisional list of all the endemic vascular plant genera in SW Asia is presented. The area, here defined to include Turkey, the Caucasus, N Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and adjacent parts of Pakistan and Central Asia, has 161 genera restricted to it. By far, the greatest numbers of the endemic genera are in Apiaceae , Brassicaceae and Asteraceae ; many are morphologically isolated and occur at random throughout the area. Non-endemic genera with relevant distributions in the area are also discussed, several having a major concentration in Central Asia/Afghanistan and radiate westwards from there reaching a limit in SE Turkey/N Iraq. Also in these and other non-endemic genera, there are many species confined to the west (Turkey) or the east (Afghanistan) but very few are distributed throughout. The paper attempts to provide a framework for future research. It draws attention to the need for a more precise terminology in discussing phytochoria and questions the validity of many currently widely used terms including Irano-Turanian. Keywords: Central Asia, endemism, Irano-Turanian, phytogeography Introduction “L’Orient” of Boissier covered: (1) Greece and its islands and European Turkey; (2) Crimea, Transcaucasus and Caucasus; (3) Egypt to the first cataracts and the Arabian Peninsula till the line of the tropics; (4) Asia Minor, Armenia, Syria and Mesopotamia; (5) Persia, Afghanistan and Baluchistan and (6) S Turkestan to the line cutting the Aral Sea in two.

Recent findings based on molecular methods led to revision of its volume. However, most of these studies lacked species from Eurasia, where a lot of previous taxonomic treatments of the subtribe exist. In this study we used molecular phylogenetics methods with internal transcribed spacer (ITS) as a marker to resolve evolutionary relations between representatives of the subtribe Asterinae from Siberia, Kazakhstan, and the European part of Russia. Our reconstruction revealed that a clade including all Asterinae species is paraphyletic. Inside this clade, there are species with unresolved basal positions, for example Erigeron flaccidus and its relatives. Moreover, several well-supported groups exist: group of the genera Galatella, Crinitaria, Linosyris, and Tripolium; group of species of North American origin; and three related groups of Eurasian species: typical Eurasian asters, Heteropappus group (genera Heteropappus, Kalimeris), and Asterothamnus group (genera Asterothamnus, Rhinactinidia).
