A Further Comprehensive Review on the Phytoconstituents from the Genus Erythrina Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 23(1): 65-77, 2020 (January) - Review paper A Further Comprehensive Review on the Phytoconstituents from the Genus Erythrina Mohammad Musarraf Hussain Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Life and Earth Sciences, Jagannath University Dhaka-1100, Bangladesh (Received: August 22, 2019; Accepted: January 28, 2020; Published: January 30, 2020) Abstract: Erythrina is a significant source of phytoconstituents. The aim of this review is to solicitude of classification, synthesis, and phytochemicals with biological activities of Erythrina. In our previous review on this genus (Hussain et. al., 2016a) fifteen species (Erythrina addisoniae, E. caribeae, E. indica, E. lattisima, E. melanacantha, E. mildbraedii, E. poeppigiama, E. stricta, E. subumbrans, E. veriagata, E. vespertilio, E. velutina, E. zeberi, E. zeyheri and E. americana) have been studied and 155 molecules with chemical structures were reported. A further comprehensive review was done upon continuation on the same genus and thirteen species (E. abyssinica, E. arborescens, E. berteroana, E. burttii, E. caffra, E. coralloids, E. crista-galli, E. fusca, E. herbaceae, E. lysistemon, E. mulungu, E. speciosa and E. tahitensis) of Erythrina have been studied and 127 compounds are reported as phytoconstituents with their chemical structure in this review. Erythrina crista-galli and E. lysistemon consist of highest number of chemical constituents. Key words: Phytoconstituents, classification, Erythrina, leguminoseae, biological properties. Introduction orange flowers.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image.

    Proceedings of the National Stakeholders Initiation workshop for BID project of “Mobilization of data on non- timber forest products’ species in Zimbabwe’s five biodiversity hotspots: towards the enhancement of food security and human health” held at Mayfair Lodge, Bindura, Zimbabwe, from 01-02 March 2017. Prepared by L. Mujuru Bindura University, Department of Natural Resources. P. bag 1020 Bindura, Zimbabwe 1 Disclaimer This Workshop Report is a project output in the Financial Assistance provided by the European Union through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility to Bindura University and its partners: National Herbarium and botanic gardens, and the Forestry Commission. The views and conclusions herein are those of the workshop participants and the authors, and should not be taken to correspond to the policies, procedures, opinions, and views of the European Union, GBIF, BUSE or Government of Zimbabwe. 2 Executive Summary The overall objective of the initiation workshop was to familiarize stakeholders with the objectives of the project, consolidate the lists of priority NTFPs species (Food and medicinal) from representative communities in and around the five biodiversity hotspots, identify additional information holding institutions and develop a plan of action and to share knowledge and skills acquired from the BID capacity enhancement workshop with all stakeholders. The Workshop also sought to lay the foundation for subsequent work on the mobilisation and digitisation of biodiversity data in Zimbabwe with specific activities described in the approved project proposal. The initiation workshop was a formal review of information gathered during some community meetings held in five biodiversity hotspot areas: Hwange, Chipinge, Chimanimani, Nyanga and the Great dyke.

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.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

  • Erythrina Mothsterastia Meticulosalis Guenée and Agathodes Designalis
    EENY 516 Erythrina moths Terastia meticulosalis Guenée and Agathodes designalis Guenée 1 Andrei Sourakov2 Introduction In Florida, and throughout the North American popula- tions, A. designalis is represented by the subspecies A. Although little known, the Erythrina moths Terastia designalis monstralis, while A. designalis designalis was meticulosalis Guenée and Agathodes designalis Guenée originally described from South America. Additional work represent a remarkable case of niche partitioning (Sourakov on the genus, including new methods such as the DNA 2011). In Florida, throughout the southern United States, barcoding, is likely to change current classification of the and from Mexico to Argentina, these two species feed on genus (Dan Janzen, pers. com.). For instance, larvae of A. plants of the genus Erythrina (Fabaceae). This genus, while designalis in Costa Rica are different from those in Florida, mostly known as attractive ornamentals, has medicinal and perhaps emphasizing the underlying taxonomic differences other uses (Powell and Westley 1993). The descriptions of (Janzen & Hallwachs 2011; Sourakov 2011). the moths’ life histories below are based on north-central Florida populations that use the coral bean, Erythrina herbacea, as a hostplant. This plant is not only native to the region, but is also frequently used as an ornamental. Synonymy There are four other species within the genus Terastia. In the past, T. subjectalis (found in Australia and throughout Asia) had been considered a synonym of T. meticulosalis, but now is listed in modern literature as a separate species. The taxonomic status of T. meticulosalis populations in Africa, where it is listed from Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, and Sierra Leone, is unclear.
