Alcantarea (Bromeliaceae) has 26 species that are endemic to eastern Brazil, occurring mainly on gneissÁgranitic rock outcrops (‘inselbergs’). Alcantarea has great ornamental potential and several species are cultivated in gardens. Limited data is available in the literature regarding the leaf anatomical features of the genus, though it has been shown that it may provide valuable information for characterizing of Bromeliaceae taxa. In the present work, we employed leaf anatomy to better characterize the genus and understand its radiation into harsh environments, such as inselbergs. We also searched for characteristics potentially useful in phylogenetic analyses and in delimiting Alcantarea and Vriesea. The anatomical features of the leaves, observed for various Alcantarea species, are in accordance with the general pattern shown by other Bromeliaceae members. -

A Synopsis of the Pre-Human Avifauna of the Mascarene Islands
– 195 – Paleornithological Research 2013 Proceed. 8th Inter nat. Meeting Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution Ursula B. Göhlich & Andreas Kroh (Eds) A synopsis of the pre-human avifauna of the Mascarene Islands JULIAN P. HUME Bird Group, Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Tring, UK Abstract — The isolated Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion and Rodrigues are situated in the south- western Indian Ocean. All are volcanic in origin and have never been connected to each other or any other land mass. Despite their comparatively close proximity to each other, each island differs topographically and the islands have generally distinct avifaunas. The Mascarenes remained pristine until recently, resulting in some documentation of their ecology being made before they rapidly suffered severe degradation by humans. The first major fossil discoveries were made in 1865 on Mauritius and on Rodrigues and in the late 20th century on Réunion. However, for both Mauritius and Rodrigues, the documented fossil record initially was biased toward larger, non-passerine bird species, especially the dodo Raphus cucullatus and solitaire Pezophaps solitaria. This paper provides a synopsis of the fossil Mascarene avifauna, which demonstrates that it was more diverse than previously realised. Therefore, as the islands have suffered severe anthropogenic changes and the fossil record is far from complete, any conclusions based on present avian biogeography must be viewed with caution. Key words: Mauritius, Réunion, Rodrigues, ecological history, biogeography, extinction Introduction ily described or illustrated in ships’ logs and journals, which became the source material for The Mascarene Islands of Mauritius, Réunion popular articles and books and, along with col- and Rodrigues are situated in the south-western lected specimens, enabled monographs such as Indian Ocean (Fig. -
Grateful Recognition Promotion of Palynological Studies at The
Pollen morphologicalevidence for subdivision and affinities of Lecythidaceae Jan Muller Rijksherbarium, Leiden Summary A in is of demarcation subdivision ofthe pollen types encountered Lecythidaceae proposed. The presence a and line between an original colpate a derived syncolpate pollen type is confirmed. The significance of pollen characters for taxonomic subdivision is evaluated and it is concluded that the subdivision proposed in by Niedenzu 1892 agrees best with the pollen evidence. Pollen morphology does not yet provide any clear indications of wider affinities of the family, except in a negative sense. Introduction of In his monograph the genus Barringtonia (Lecythidaceae), Payens (1967) stated, after reviewing the various proposals for subdivision by former authors, that 'a satisfactory be taxonomie subdivision of the family is still wanting and may not even possible'. Although some of these authors, notably Niedenzu (1892) and Pichon (1945), paid attention to pollen morphology, it was Erdtman (1952) who first pointed out that a line the characterized the clear demarcation runs through family, one part being by syntricolpate Planchonia pollen type, the other by the tricolpate Lecythis type. This Melchior who based his evidence was not taken into account by (1964), subdivision of the family on Pichon (194s). this character In the following it will be attempted to evaluate the significance of for taxonomicsubdivision in Lecythidaceae and in addition to comment briefly on the wider affinities of this family as far as these can be deduced from pollen morphology. This note is dedicated to Professor Van Steenis on the occasion of his retirement and in grateful recognition of his promotion of palynological studies at the Rijksherbarium. -

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.

Against this background, ethyl acetate extract of the leaves were screened against some microorganisms so as to ascertain this claim and to recommend it for further investigation for possible inclusion into official compendium. The plant leaves were dried, powdered subjected to cold maceration with ethyl acetate for 24 hours. Phytochemical screening was done for alkaloids, saponin, essential oil, phenolic group, steroidal nucleus, simple sugar, starch, cyanogenic glycoside, proteins and flavonoid using standard procedures. Antimicrobial screenings were done using agar diffusion technique. Antibacterial activity test was conducted by screening against six pathogens comprising both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria obtained from pharmaceutical microbiology laboratory stock. The extract was screened against 24 hour broth culture of bacteria seeded in the nutrient agar at concentrations 400, 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125 mg/ml in DMSO and incubated at 37oC, for 24 hours and measuring the inhibition zone diameter - IZD. -
Original Research Article Mid and Submontane Altitude Forests Communities on the West Hillside of Mount Bambouto (Cameroon)
1 Original Research Article 2 3 Mid and submontane altitude forests 4 communities on the West hillside of mount 5 Bambouto (Cameroon): Floristic originality and 6 comparisons ASTRACT Background and aims - Situated on the oceanic part of the Cameroon mountainous chain, the Western flank of Bambouto Mountains include the Atlantic biafran forests rich in endemic species but not well known. The objective of this work is to compare specific diversity, floristic composition and structure of two forests on this hillside. Methods - The inventories have been carried out in 18 plots of 20 m x 250 m plot established to cover all corners and centers of each forest in order to collect as many species as possible; also depending on the size of the forest block, vegetation physiognomy and altitude. Therefore, on a total area of nine hectares, all individuals with diameter at breast height ≥10 cm (dbh =1.30 m above ground) were counted. Phytodiversity has been assessed based on the usual diversity indices; these are the Shannon, Equitability and Simpson indices. The chi-square and Anova test were used to compare the data obtained. Keys results - With 168 species recorded in four hectares, the submontane forest noticeably appears richer than that of low and mid altitude (161 species in 5 hectares). Among these species, 46 are common to the two forests. The mean stands density with diameter at breast height (dbh) ≥ 10 cm recorded per hectare is 855 ± 32,7 at low and mid altitude forest and 1182 ± 38,4 at submontane forest. The diversity index, specific richness and the endemism rate values are comparable to those registered in other Central African sites.
