Studies on Diterpenoids ot Rabdosia macrocalyx var. jiuhua Z. W. Xue et X. W. Wang

Four diterpenoids have been isolated from the dried leaves of Rabdosia macrocalyx var. juihua Z. W. Xue et X..W. Wang. Three of them were shown to be known diter- penoids, excisanin A, excisanin B and macrocalyxin A, while the one, a new kauranetype diterpene, was named jiuhuanin A. On the basis of physico-chemical constants, spectroscopic analysis of the new compound and properties of its derivatives, the structure of the compound was identified as (1). Jiuhuanin A was shown to have cytotoxicity in vitro against cultures of Hela cell and A549 cells.

单叶黄荆的分类学修订

根据对单叶黄荆（Vitex simplicifolia）模式标本的研究,结合在其模式产地的野外调查,发现单叶黄荆与黄荆（V.negundo）并无本质区别,不宜作为独立的种,但其叶片为单叶而且比较稳定,将其降级并组合为黄荆的变种。     

卧龙乌头的名实问题

发现卧龙乌头Aconitum wolongense W．T. Wang的模式实际上包含两种植物,即毛果甘青乌头A． tanguticum (Maxim．)Stapf．var．trichocarpum Hand.-Mazz．和展毛大渡乌头A．franchetii Fin.et Gagnep．var．villosum W．T. Wang,故将该种予以归并。     

W.A. Arnold's inspiring experiments

The impact is discussed here of some experiments by W.A. Aronld and coworkers on photosynthetic research, specifically on that at the Leiden Biophysics Department. These experiments involved the following topics: photosynthetic unit and electronic excitation transfer to a reaction center, chlorophyll luminescence and photosynthesis, and unexpected experimental results as a source of discoveries.

1971年,N.Ulzijkhutag根据采自阿拉善戈壁(=Bordzon-Go-bi)的标本(1970-07-29,V.I.Grubov,N.Ulzijkhutag et G.Tserendalzhid,无号)发表新种Oxytrops grubovii,并以此建立新组Oxytropis subgen.Traganthoxytropis sect.Monan-thos;1987年,G.P.Yakovlev将O.grubovii归入海绵豆属Spongiocarpella;1988年,张振万同意N.Ulzijkhutag的意见,并根据刺垫棘豆之龙骨瓣无喙等特征将Ulzijkhutag的刺     

桂西和黔南中三叠世珊瑚

文内描述中三叠世安尼阶(Anisian)珊瑚化石分别采自桂西田阳板纳组和黔南贵阳青岩青岩组。板纳组珊瑚群中建立Pentasmilia guangxiensisgen.etsp.nov.,该新属种有5条第一周期原生隔片甚至有5条第二周期后生隔片,以此不同于有6条第一周期原生隔片和有6条第二周期后生隔片的石珊瑚类(scleractinians)的珊瑚。产于板纳组的另一新属种Radiophyllia astylatusgen.etsp.nov.,其隔片的排列格式与前人归纳的隔片周期插入示意图甚似,但它却发生在中生代最早期(Anisian)珊瑚的骸体内。文中还对青岩组的Pamiroseris silesiaca作了重新描述。

Sigfrid W. Arnell 1895–1970

Abstract

Six bryophyte species were investigated: Plagiochila spinulosa, Hylocomium splendens, Scorpiurium circinatum, Tortula ruraliformis, Rhacomitrium aquaticum and Andreaea rothii. Of these, all except A. rothii showed clear evidence of seasonal variation in desiccation tolerance, as measured by net assimilation following 24 h remoistening.

(2) In general these species showed low desiccation tolerance in autumn (October) and winter (January) and increased tolerance in spring and summer. Hylocomium splendens was a partial exception in showing relatively high tolerance in January and little change from then until July.

(3) On the whole, the seasonal pattern of desiccation response accords well with what might be expected from conditions in the habitats of the plants. The results are briefly discussed in relation to distribution of rainfall and some microenvironmental factors, and compared with some data from the literature.     

Regeneration of N.W. African Pinus halepensis forests following fire

Pinus halepensis forests of N.W. Algeria are subjected to frequent fires. During the fire the aboveground parts of plants are completely burned but only a few species are killed. Most perennial herb and shrub species survive owing to their underground organs and regenerate vegetatively in the next moist period. The semi-shrubs regenerate both vegetatively and from seeds. The most intensive growth of the shrub layer occurs during the first 2 years and in the 5th year, it reaches a height of 1–1.5 m. Pinus halepensis is completely killed by the fire and it regenerates from seeds only. The regeneration is retarded during the first 2–3 years, apparently by competition of the rapidly developing shrubs and semi-shrubs with P. halepensis. In the following years, there is a more rapid increase in both density and height, although by the 5th year after fire, the height does not exceed 0.5 m. The young trees overtop the shrub layer between 10 and 15 years after fire. The increase in density and cover supress the lower layers, in particular the herb layer. The reduction in density of trees in the following decades enables the herb layer to reconstitute its composition and cover.This process of regeneration resembles forest growth cycles rather than a secondary succession. The shrub and herb layers maintain their identity as they are mostly formed of the same individuals as before the fire; they merely regenerated their aboveground organs. Only the tree layer regenerates anew after the fire.
