Botanische Bestimmungsübungen 1 Euphorbiaceae Euphorbiaceae (Wolfsmilchgewächse) 1 Systematik und Verbreitung Die Euphorbiaceae gehören zu den Eudikotyledonen (Kerneudikotyledonen > Superrosiden > Rosiden > Fabiden). Innerhalb dieser wird die Familie zur Ordnung der Malpighiales (Malpighienartige) gestellt. Die Euphorbiaceae umfassen rund 230 Gattungen mit ca. 6.000 Arten. Sie werden in 4 Unterfamilien gegliedert: 1. Cheilosoideae, 2. Acalyphoideae, 3. Crotonoideae und 4. Euphorbioideae sowie in 6 Triben unterteilt. Die Familie ist überwiegend tropisch verbreitet mit einem Schwerpunkt im indomalaiischen Raum und in den neuweltlichen Tropen. Die Gattung Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch) ist auch in außertropischen Regionen wie z. B. dem Mittelmeerraum, in Südafrika sowie in den südlichen USA häufig. Heimisch ist die Familie mit Mercurialis (Bingelkraut; 2 Arten) und Euphorbia (Wolfsmilch; 20-30 Arten) vertreten. Abb. 1: Verbreitungskarte. 2 Morphologie 2.1 Habitus Die Familie ist sehr vielgestaltig. Es handelt sich um ein- und mehrjährige krautige Pflanzen, Halbsträucher, Sträucher bis große Bäume oder Sukkulenten. Besonders in S-Afrika und auf den Kanarischen Inseln kommen auf hitzebelasteten Trockenstandorten zahlreiche kakteenartige stammsukkulente Arten vor, die in den Sprossachsen immens viel Wasser speichern können. © PD DR.

Leaf Architecture in Some Euphorbiaceae
Indian J. Applied & Pure Bio. Vol. 29(2), 343-360 (2014). Leaf architecture in some Euphorbiaceae Sarala C. Tadavi and Vijay V. Bhadane* *Department of Botany, Pratap College, Amalner-425401, (India) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study deals with the leaf architectural study of 44 species distributed over 20 genera of the Euphorbiaceae to provide comprehensive account on the leaf architecture of Euphorbiaceae and its taxonomic significance. The leaves are simple except in Anda and Hevea where leaves are 3-5 foliate. The leaf shape, apex, base, number of areoles and vein endings entering the areoles are species specific. Major venation pattern is pinnate-craspedodromous, pinnate- camptodromous with brochidodromous, weak brochidodromous, festooned brochidodromous, eucamptodromous and reticulodromous secondaries and actinodromous. The highest degree of vein order is up to 6º. Quantitative parameters like the numbers of secondary veins, areoles and vein endings per unit area have using analyzed. The veinlets terminations are mostly conventional tracheids or occasionally dilated. The presence of bundle sheath is common around 1º to 5º veins. Leaf architectural characteristics such as presence of major venation categories, nature of marginal ultimate venation, areoles, presence or absence of bundle sheath and type of leaf margins are found to the helpful in delimiting the taxa study. Key words: Leaf architecture, taxonomy, Euphorbiaceae. Leaf architecture including venation conclusions on a survey of dicotyledonous and pattern has been studied in 20 genera and 44 angiospermous leaves respectively. A perusal species of the Euphorbiaceae. Though the of the past literature revealed that studies on study of leaf architecture is more than a leaf architecture in Euphorbiaceae are almost century old, due importance was not given to negligible1,2,4,8,9,11,13. -

Author for correspondence: Paul E. Berry, [email protected] Abstract Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce contains around 600 species and includes the largest New World radiation within the Old World-centered genus Euphorbia. It is one of the few plant lineages to include members with C3, C4 and CAM photosyn- thesis, showing multiple adaptations to warm and dry habitats. The subgenus includes North American-centered groups that were previously treated at various taxonomic ranks under the names of “Agaloma ”, “Poinsettia ”, and “Chamaesyce ”. Here we provide a well-resolved phylogeny of Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce using nuclear ribosomal ITS and chloroplast ndhF sequences, with substantially increased taxon sampling compared to previous studies. Based on the phylogeny, we discuss the Old World origin of the subgenus, the evolution of cyathial morphology and growth forms, and then provide a formal sectional classification, with descriptions and species lists for each section or subsection we recognize. -
(Fragaria X Ananassa Duch.), Belongs to the Family Rosaceae and Is a Member of the Genus Fragaria
1-INTRODUCTION Cultivated strawberry, (food of youth), (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.), belongs to the family Rosaceae and is a member of the genus Fragaria. It is a perennial stoloniferous, herbaceous species representing the most important soft fruit worldwide (Hancock, 1990). It has been commercially cultivated in many countries in the world (Biswas, et al.2008). The fruit is an achene attached to a juicy, enlarged receptacle. It is one of the most popular fruits in the world and per capita consumption is increasing annually. Strawberry have been growing wild for millennia in temperature regions throughout the world, whereas cultivated Strawberry originated from an accidental cross between Fragaria chiloensis L.P.Mill. and Fragaria virgintana Duch. The first species is a white fruited type brought to France from Chile in 1714 and the second species is a red-fruited species brought from Virginia colony to Europe in 1600s (Aharoni et al. 2004). Strawberry is one of the most important fruit plants for both fresh consumption and food processing in the temperate and subtropical regions with a global production of over 43.66 million tons(FAO,2010) and a production area of about 255000 ha (FAO, 2008). The attractive appearance of, delicious flavor and taste and seasonal availability of the fruits, make strawberries an excellent fruit crop. It has become one of the popular and favorite fruits for its high nutritional value, and relatively reasonable price. The fruits are consumed in different ways fresh or frozen and are also processed and used in very large number of food products such as juice, jam, jellies, yogurt, syrups, toppings, sweet, wine, baked goods and are highly valued as dessert fruits. -

Six species are accepted and new combinations are proposed for C. nana, C. setosa, C. taman- duana, and C. viscoides. Although these herbaceous perennials of cerrado veg- etation of Brazil, northern Argentina, and adjacent countries are distinctive eco- logically and geographically, cladistic analysis does not support their recognition as a monophyletic group. -

In the course of a study of the corolla aestivation of Dicotyle- dons I was obliged some time ago to make a comparison of the contort corolla with the contort appendages of Euphorbia fulgens (10, p. 44); the aestivation of these appendages proved to be heterotropic, i.e. changing in direction with the phyllotactical spiral, and moreover SW (= short way) heterotropic, i.e. a right hand spiral is accompanied by a right contortion and reversely. detailed this As a study of aestivation seemed promising, the observations were continued, with the aim of checking the 169 the the correctness of views already given on origin of hetero- attractive tropic contortion. This was the more as the prelimi- observations that the involucre itself nary already suggested should be heterotropic contort too, a fact which was soon con- firmed on further observation.
