It is one of the main bodies of water where the Chilean flamingo (Phoenicopterus chilensis) and the Andean flamingo (Phoenicopterus andinus) reproduce.

Overview: The Surire salt marsh is part of the High Andean altiplano steppe (Gajardo, 1994). This landform extends between 4,000 and 5,000 metres in altitude forming a large flat area dominated by isolated mountains and inflowing and outflowing river basins. The basic vegetation is determined primarily by relief and the presence of bodies of water. The salt marsh is surrounded by vegetative communities dominated by bofedales de la tundra altiplánica (Quintanilla, 1988). A large number of non-metallic minerals (calcium and boric salts) are found here. At one corner of the salt marsh, there is a stream that begins in a large artesian hot spring (Salas, 1975). The fauna associated with this environment is very important, and the area is one of the four most important places for the reproduction of flamingos in Chile (Ormazábal, 1988). 8.

Este artículo presenta una recopilación de plantas medicinales para la salud reproductiva femenina y sus usos en Perú, con el fin de evidenciar la alta diversidad vinculada, y de dar a conocer y revalorizar estas prácticas y conocimientos ancestrales. Se hizo una revisión minuciosa de libros y artículos científicos, disponibles online y en centros de investigación y universidades de diversas regiones del país. Se extrajo información confiable sobre la identidad científica y características del tipo y mo- mento de uso, parte utilizada, forma y modo de aplicación, nombre en lengua nativa y región de procedencia. Fueron documentadas 565 especies vegetales de uso ginecológico, pertenecientes a 119 familias y 375 géneros. Las familias con mayor número de especies son: Asteraceae (54), Fabaceae (47), Lamiaceae (29), Rubiaceae (23) y Malvaceae (19). Se ob- servó un mayor número de plantas empleadas durante el periodo de menstruación y para el manejo de la fertilidad. A la fecha, esta es la recopilación más extensa de plantas de uso ginecológico en Perú. Se espera que esta publicación sea una contribución para la comunidad científica, los actores del sistema peruano de salud y para motivar el conocimiento de autocuidado de las mujeres peruanas.

    UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AGRARIA LA MOLINA Facultad de Ciencias Forestales Propagación sexual de: Parastrephia quadrangularis, y Baccharis tricuneata, en San José de Aymará - Huancavelica Tesis para optar el Título de INGENIERO FORESTAL Solange Montero Terry Lima – Perú 2006 RESUMEN Se busca contribuir a recuperar las poblaciones naturales de Tola en las praderas alto andinas, así como ayudar a aumentar la producción de leña en la Comunidad de San José de Aymará. Durante el año 2005, en esta comunidad, se realizó un estudio de propagación sexual en el vivero con dos especies de tola, Parastrephia quadrangularis (Meyen) Cabrera y Baccharis tricuneata (Lam) Pers. Se probaron tres técnicas de propagación (bolsa 10x18cm, bolsa 13x18cm y platabanda) y tres sustratos (Materia orgánica: tierra agrícola: turba, materia orgánica: tierra agrícola y materia orgánica: tierra agrícola: arena), obteniendo un total de 9 combinaciones. Considerandose en cada combinación los siguientes parámetros: supervivencia en el vivero, altura (cm) y perímetro al cuello de raíz (cm), los dos primeros se tomaron desde el primer mes de repique hasta poner las plantas en terreno definitivo, el perímetro fue medido al final del periodo de repique. Se obtuvo que ambas especies responden favorablemente a la propagación utilizando semillas, luego de 386 días, desde que se sembró en el almácigo hasta que estuvieron lista para llevarlas a campo y las condiciones climáticas eran favorables para su supervivencia; asimismo, para Parastrephia quadrangularis (Meyen) Cabrera resulta la mejor combinación, utilizando bolsas de 13x18cm y sustrato materia orgánica: tierra agrícola, obteniendo un incremento promedio en altura mensual entre 0.71 –0.91cm utilizando esta combinación; esta especie llega a desarrollar en los tres sustratos.

University Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA Integrative Biology and Plant Resources Center, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712, USA ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: Chrissen E. C. Gemmill Abstract—A recent phylogenomic study has shown that Diplostephium in its broad sense is biphyletic. While one of the clades comprises 60 species distributed mainly in the Northern Andes, the clade that contains the generic type, Diplostephium ericoides,contains48species,andprimarilyinhabitsthe Central Andes. Here, I propose to reinstate the generic name Piofontia and transfer to it the species of Diplostephium in the Northern Andean clade. Piofontia consists, then, of 60 species of woody subshrubs, shrubs, and small trees inhabiting high Andean forests and p´aramos of Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. A morphological description is provided for the genus Piofontia along with a species list with 60 new combinations. Dysaster cajamarcensis is shown to be a synonym of Diplostephium serratifolium. Finally, a brief discussion about the morphological evolution of South American Astereae is provided. Keywords—Andes, South America, p´aramo.
