Abstract. Sumbembayev AA, Abugalieva SI, Danilova AN, Matveyeva EV, Szlachetko DL. 2021. Flower morphometry of members the genus Dactylorhiza Necker ex Nevski (Orchidaceae) from Altai mountains Kazakhstan. Biodiversitas 22: 3545-3555. Several species Kazakhstan have been investigated regarding their morphological flower variability. Significant metric characters were identified allowing to diff...

The system of the family Poaceae is dynamically changing due to progress phylogenetic research. Consequently, nomenclature some taxa should be adjusted accordingly. In Plants World Online (POWO) and other authoritative online sources, genera nothogenera are accepted in rather wide circumscriptions; for example, ×Agroelymus E.G. Camus ex A. (including ×Agrotrigia Tzvelev ×Elymopyrum Cugnac), ×El...

The dried extracts of aerial parts of Celesia coromandeliane Vahl. (Scrophulariaceae) were evaluated for CNS activities in mice. The methanol extract of aerial part of Celesia coromandeliane (MECC) was found to cause significant depression in general as well as exploratory behavioral profiles in mice. MECC showed reduction in muscle relaxant activity by 30 degrees inclined screen test, as well ...

This study aimed to evaluate the leishmanicidal activity of ethanol extract, fractions, and isolated substance from Handroanthus serratifolius against Leishmania amazonensis. Furthermore, this activity was related to cytotoxicity, and the selectivity index was determined. The ethanol extract was obtained by maceration of the stem powder, and the extract was subjected to fractionation on chromat...

Phytochemical investigation of Ficus hirta Vahl. (Moraceae) fruits led to isolate two carboline alkaloids (1 and 2), five sesquiterpenoids/norsesquiterpenoids (3-7), three flavonoids (8-10), and one phenylpropane-1,2-diol (11). Their structures were elucidated by the analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. All of the isolates were isolated from this species for the first time, whil...

The alkaloid composition of Convolvulus lanatus was investigated by GLC and GLC-MS. Altogether, thirteen tropane and pyrrolidine alkaloids were identified on the basis of mass spectral data and/or Kovats retention indices. Twelve of them have been recorded for the first time in this plant and some of these alkaloids were identified for the first time in the genus Convolvulus. Cuscohygrine is th...

Quantitative data of community structure and the current status of ecologically and economically important Drosera burmanii Vahl. Populations were gathered at Tripura, India, from two different stands, Suryamaninagar (Site i) and Ishanchandranagar (Site ii). The area of occupancy of Drosera in both sites was measured. A total of 31 species (26 genera of 18 families) were recorded to be associat...
