Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

  • Wallich and His Contribution to the Indian Natural History
    Rheedea Vol. 26(1) 13–20 2016 Wallich and his contribution to the Indian natural history Ranee Om Prakash Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, United Kingdom. E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract Various activities of Nathaniel Wallich, especially those that connect with Indian natural history are briefly reviewed. Wallich rose to a naturalist of international standard from a prisoner of war in discovering the riches of the then British India and reporting to the learned world. He established a close network of leading experts in the field of natural history and exchanged plant materials for the benefit of both the donor and receiving countries. During his superintendence of the then Royal Botanic Garden, Calcutta, which prevailed nearly three decades, Wallich introduced useful plants from across the world and elevated the status of the Garden as one of the finest in the world, published over 8,000 new species, about 142 genera of plants and established a world class herbarium. An initiative funded by the World Collections Programme has tried to give due recognition to Wallich towards his contribution to natural history by hosting a website (www.kew. org/wallich). This is a joint collaborative project between Kew Gardens, The Natural History Museum, London and The British Library with additional inputs from the Acharya Jagdish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah and The National Archives of India, New Delhi. Keywords: Collections, Herbarium, Online Resource, Wallich Catalogue Introduction located next to the river and use similar irrigation systems. Kew Garden was built in 1759 and the Nathaniel Wallich (1785–1854) spent 34 years in Calcutta Botanic Garden was established in 1787.

Blatt.& McCann., Periploca aphylla Decne. and Stapelia gigantea N.E.Br. The study showed that five plants were used ethnobotanically in the area. All the plants were deposited as voucher specimens in the Department of plant sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, for future references. Complete macro & microscopic detailed morphological features of the species have been discussed. Taxo- nomic key was developed to differentiate closely related taxa. Keywords: Taxonomic Account; Asclepiadaceae; Dera Ismail Khan; Pakistan 1.

  • Cynanchum Brevipedunculatum, a New Species of Apocynaceae from Yunnan, China
    Taiwania 64(3): 217-220, 2019 DOI: 10.6165/tai.2019.64.217 Cynanchum brevipedunculatum, a new species of Apocynaceae from Yunnan, China Jian-Yong SHEN*, Xing-Da MA, Wen-Guang WANG, Ji-Pu SHI Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xishuangbanna 666303, Yunnan, China. *Corresponding author’s email: [email protected]; Phone number: +86 15393816057; Fax: +86 0691-8715464 (Manuscript received 23 January 2019; accepted 21 May 2019; online published 14 June 2019) ABSTRACT: Cynanchum brevipedunculatum (Apocynaceae), a new species from Menghai, Yunnan, China, is described and illustrated. It is compared with two morphologically similar species, Cynanchum decipiens and C. longipedunculatum. Cynanchum brevipedunculatum differs from the preceeding species in having much bigger leaves, adaxially sparsely strigillose, abaxially glabrous or sparsely strigillose on veins, shorter peduncle and the very distinctive bowl-shaped corona. A comprehensive morphological description of C. brevipedunculatum is provided, together with photographs, and a conservation assessment for this rare vine species. KEY WORDS: Apocynaceae, Asclepiadeae, China, Cynanchum brevipedunculatum, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. INTRODUCTION belong to Vincetoxicum. Khanum et al. (2016) advocated the inclusion of several further genera (including Apocynaceae subfamily Asclepiadoideae is one of Adelostemma, Graphistemma, Holostemma, Metaplexis, the most derived plant groups, comprising about 164 Raphistemma and Sichuania within China) within genera with around 3000 species (Endress et al., 2014). Cynanchum which would bring the number of species in The species of the subfamily are characterized by the China to 44. Phylogenetic study (Liede et al., 2012; presence of a pollinarium, enabling the plants to adopt a Liede & Meve 2018) revealed that Biondia, Blyttia, more efficient and specific pollination mechanism Diplostigma, Goydera, Pleurostelma, Rhyncharrhena mediated by animals (Endress & Bruyns, 2000).

  • 2008, Pp. 241-251 DANAUS CHRYSIPPUS (LINNAEUS, 1758)
    Naturalista sicil., S. IV, XXXII (1-2), 2008, pp. 241 -251 SILVESTRO PISCIOTTA , P IETRO ZITO & M AURIZIO SAJEVA DANAUS CHRYSIPPUS (LINNAEUS, 1758) (Lepidoptera Nymphalidae ) LARVAE FEEDING ON CARALLUMA EUROPAEA (GUSS.) N.E.BR. (Asclepiadaceae ) IN LAMPEDUSA ISLAND SUMMARY Danaus chrysippus (L.) is a wide-ranging migrant species; it has considerably increased and extended its range in the North African coastal regions in the past two decades, and from there has colonised parts of the south coast of Spain, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Malta and Greece. Although it is a polyphagous species its larvae feed on plants which contain cardenolides, expecially Asclepi - adaceae, Apocynaceae and Moraceae. In this paper we report on a population found in Lampedusa Island which larvae feed on Caralluma europaea (Guss.) N.E.Br. (Asclepiadaceae). Observations were carried out from April 2006 to November 2007, during a multi-year research project on the ecology of C. europaea in Lampedusa. The larvae of the population found in Lampedusa Island feed on Caralluma europaea (Guss.) N.E.Br. (Asclepiadaceae). Larvae and eggs have been collected to observe development and feeding preferences under controlled conditions. The strict relation between Danaus chrysippus and Asclepiadaceae is confirmed and a strong prefer - ence for the follicles versus stems has been observed. RIASSUNTO Larve di Danaus chrysippus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera Nymphalidae) fitofaghe di Carallu - ma europaea (Guss.) N.E.Br. (Asclepiadaceae) nell’isola di Lampedusa . Danaus chrysippus (L.) è una specie ad ampio raggio di migrazione che nell’ultimo ventennio ha notevolmente aumentato la sua distribuzione. Dalle coste nordafricane ha colonizzato parte del sud della Spagna, la Corsica, la Sar - degna, l’Italia, Malta e la Grecia.

We investigated the phylogeny, taxonomy clear latex, a lack of apical anther appendages and biogeography of the Eritreo-Arabian genus and erect pollinia with pellucid margins (cf.

Phylogenetic reconstructions based on nrITS genus Echidnopsis is part of subtribe Stapelii- sequence data were obtained using maximum nae G.

The stapeliads, or reveal two weakly supported clades, each with a ‘‘carrion flowers’’, are the most speciose group mix of African and Arabian taxa, including the genus Rhytidocaulon, and with four Socotran in the tribe, accounting for ca. 400 species in 38 species forming a subclade of their own. Rather genera of predominantly African, Arabian and than a vicariance origin of these island elements, Indian distribution (Albers and Meve 2002). In our data suggest a single dispersal event from a stapeliad phylogeny based on nuclear and eastern Africa. Echidnopsis thus parallels biogeo- plastid DNA data, Echidnopsis has been shown graphic patterns found for other Socotran endemic to be closely related to Rhytidocaulon P.R.O.
