Myosotis exarrhena F. Muell., the correct name for M. suaveolens (R. Br.) Poir. (Boraginaceae)

Microsatellite markers for the New Zealand endemic Myosotis pygmaea species group (Boraginaceae) amplify across species1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed as polymorphic markers for the New Zealand endemic Myosotis pygmaea species group (Boraginaceae) for use in species delimitation and population and conservation genetic studies. METHODS AND RESULTS Illumina MiSeq sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from seedlings of M. drucei. From trimmed paired-end sequences >400 bp, 484 microsatel...

Volatile Oil Constituents of the Eucalyptus viridis R. T. Baker and Eucalyptus oleosa F. Muell. Leaves from Iran

  Background: The genus Eucalyptus (family Myrtaceae) comprises well-known plants of over 600 species of trees. Although most of the plants are native to Australia, numerous species have been introduced to other parts of the world, including Iran, as economic and ornamental trees in forest trial provenances, where the plants have become source of important fast-growing hardwood trees and Eucaly...

Two new species of forget-me-nots ( Myosotis, Boraginaceae) from New Zealand

Two new species of forget-me-nots, Myosotis chaffeyorum C.A.Lehnebach sp. nov. and Myosotis mooreana C.A.Lehnebach sp. nov. are described and illustrated. These species are endemic to New Zealand and restricted to the mountains of north-west Nelson (South Island). Both species are uncommon and Myosotis mooreana is known from the type locality only. Their conservation status is rated as "Nationa...

A theoretical survey on strength and characteristics of F•••F, Br•••O and Br•••Br interactions in solid phase

A quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular F•••F, Br•••Br and Br•••O interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (BFNB). This system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. We found that fluorine atoms have weak ...
