Phryma leptostachya (Phrymaceae), a new family record in Taiwan
نویسندگان
چکیده
A newly recorded family, Phrymaceae, and species, Phryma leptostachya L., from Taiwan are described and illustrated. Phryma leptostachya was found near Chienshih Hsiang, in Hsinchu Hsien. The flowers of Phryma have unusually long hooked tips on the calyx and single-seeded fruit enclosed by the persistent calyx, which accounts for its isolated taxonomic position and recognition as an independent family, Phrymaceae. It is easily distinguished from the other related families, Scrophulariaceae, Lamiaceae, and Verbenaceae, respectively, in Taiwan.

Evolution of biogeographic disjunction between eastern Asia and eastern North America in Phryma (Phrymaceae).
This study examines molecular and morphological differentiation in Phryma L., which has only one species with a well-known classic intercontinental disjunct distribution between eastern Asia (EA) and eastern North America (ENA). Phylogenetic analysis of nuclear ribosomal ITS and chloroplast rps16 and trnL-F sequences revealed two highly distinct clades corresponding to EA and ENA. The divergenc...
متن کاملInsight into the Mode of Action of Haedoxan A from Phryma leptostachya
Haedoxan A (HA) is a major active ingredient in the herbaceous perennial plant lopseed (Phryma leptostachya L.), which is used as a natural insecticide against insect pests in East Asia. Here, we report that HA delayed the decay rate of evoked excitatory junctional potentials (EJPs) and increased the frequency of miniature EJPs (mEJPs) on the Drosophila neuromuscular junction. HA also caused a ...
متن کاملRedefining Phrymaceae : the Placement of M Imulus , Tribe Mimuleae , And
Chloroplast trnL/F and nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS sequence data were used to analyze phylogenetic relationships among members of tribe Mimuleae (Scrophulariaceae) and other closely related families in Lamiales. The results of these analyses led to the following conclusions. (1) The Australian genera Glossostigma and Peplidium and the taxonomically isolated Phryma join four genera of tribe Mi...
متن کاملSynthesis and Larvicidal Activity against Culex pipiens pallens of New Triazole Derivatives of Phrymarolin from Phryma leptostachya L.
Twelve new triazole derivatives of Phrymarolin were prepared from Phrymarolin I and the structures of all the derivatives were fully characterized by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and MS spectral data analyses. Larvicidal activities against 4rd instar larvae of Culex pipiens pallens of these Phrymarolin analogues were assayed. Although the triazole derivatives of Phrymarolin showed certain larvicidal act...

This work aimed to assess some pharmacological activities of P. leptostachya var. asiatica Hara. The dried roots of P. leptostachya var. asiatica Hara were extracted with 70% ethanol to generate the powdered extract, named PLE. Anti-angiogenic activity was detected using chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated via analyzing nitric oxide (NO)...
