Abstract:

The islands of the Socotra Archipelago (Abdalkuri, Samhah, Darsa, Socotra), from 80 to 220 km in distance from Cape Guardafui as the easternmost point of the Horn of Africa, bear a variety of endemic and non-endemic succulents. Climatologically, the Horn of Africa, Arabia and Socotra are situated in the northern arid subtropical belt which means high drought stress to the vegetation in annual phases. Open formations of vegetation are characterised by chamaephytes and nano-phanerophytes, by succulent dwarf shrubs to giant candelabrum or caudex species. Patterns of ecomorphological and ecophysio

The geographic characteristic of plant macroevolution is manifested in general in neither even, nor random distribution of the archaic and advanced representatives of a higher taxon in its range.

Abstract:

Water storage has been commonly cited as an important function of orchid pseudobulbs, and it is reasonable to assume that orchids which utilize crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis have larger pseudobulbs than those of C3 orchid taxa, because these foliar (or stem) structures may reflect another type of succulent tissue in CAM plants. On the other hand, it is equally plausible that C3 orchids have larger pseudobulbs, as they lack succulent tissue, as well as the water-conservative CAM pathway. The goal of this study was to compare pseudobulb size in over 100 living orchid species

The Poaceae has the, relatively highest number of species (50 sp., 9.23%) followed by Asteraceae (38 sp., 7.01%), Euphorbiaceae (34 sp., 6.27%), Asclepiadaceae (30 sp., 5.54%), Fabaceae (28 sp., 5.17%) and Acanthaceae (26 sp., 4.80%). A genus represented by the greatest number of species is <em>Euphorbia </em>(19 species). Classification based on life form indicates that the chamaephytes (38.19%) comprise the largest

Oxalis L , commonly called sorrel,is a large and cosmopolitan taxon that has undergone spectacular speciation within southern Africa (± 270 taxa). and more specifically within the winter rainfall regions of the western Cape Region (CR). The main objective of this study w as to analyse the geographical distribution of Oxalis in South Africa in relation to currently defined phytogeographic units. The observed patterns of biodiversity and endemism within South African members of the genus show interesting disjunctions and concentrations of species. Oxalis is one of the few CR taxa that is shared

Abstract:

The complex systematics of the genus Sedum, the difficulties of its classification and the ambiguity of the concrete identification of the taxa brought about the need to implement a measurement system adaptable to field conditions, so as to facilitate the accuracy of data collection, avoiding the etiolation of samples and, therefore, the deterioration of the morphological structures subject to analysis. Thus, our study describes a digitization of the classic method of making measurements using millimeter paper, thus facilitating the subsequent statistical processing of quantifiable values. Dep

Morphologically members of Salicornia are halophyte, annual, articulated, and succulent herbs with cortical palisade, opposite decussate scale-leaves, thyrsoid cymes, flowers packed in cauline depressions and the diaspore composed of l-seeded utricle. Salicornia is a priceless edible vegetable, considered as a favourable resource for cultivation in arid and semiarid coastal zones.

A severe dieback of flowering ash (Fraxinus ornus L.) has been observed in north-central Italy in the last decades. Symptoms include typical sunken, light-brown cankers on the stem and branches; vascular discoloration; tip and shoot dieback; and foliage necroses. The disease was more evident at the beginning of the growing season, and more severe on young regeneration. Six Botryosphaeriaceae species were consistently isolated from symptomatic plant tissues: Botryosphaeria dothidea, Diplodia fraxini, Diplodia subglobosa, Dothiorella iberica, Dothiorella omnivora and Neofusicoccum parvum.

Molecular analyses based on ITS of nrDNA and six regions of cpDNA sequencing indicated that the Miyako-jima plants formed a distinct subclade. This subclade was part of a polyt

Abstract:

Plants from arid environments have some of the most diverse morphological and anatomical modifications of any terrestrial plants. Most perennials are classified as xerophytes, and have structures that limit water loss during dry weather, provide structural support to help prevent cell collapse during dry periods or store water in photosynthetic tissues. Some of these traits are also found in sclerophyllous plants and traits that may have developed due to evolution of taxa on nutrient poor soils may also benefit the plants under arid conditions.

A widespread census of the Apulian territory was carried out between 2021 and 2024 in both urban and suburban areas including street trees, parks, and private and historic gardens.

Overall, shrubs and succulents have displayed the highest survival rates, showing the greatest potential for use on green roofs in semi-arid conditions. Graminoids survived about half the time and creeping and upright forbs had the lowest overall survival in semi-arid Color

AbstractAt the beginning of the twentieth century, Plagiothecium nemorale s.l. and P. succulentum, both belonging to P. sect. Orthophyllum, were considered to be distributed across almost the entire Northern Hemisphere. However, in the mid-twentieth century these taxa were recircumscribed resulting in their exclusion from the North American bryoflora and restricting their distributions to Asia and Europe, and in the case of Plagiothecium nemorale s.l., also North Africa. More recently, it was found that P. nemorale s.l. is a taxonomic complex comprising three distinct species: P. nemorale s.s.
