“…Sericographis cordifolia was erroneously synonimized under Justicia brasiliana Roth (1821: 17) by Ezcurra & Kameyama (2008) in Catálogo de las plantas vasculares del Cono Sur. Nevertheless, they are quite distinct speciesas pointed out by Profice (2010). Justicia cordifolia can be easily distinguished from J. brasiliana by its quadrangular stems, covered by dense reddish hispid trichomes; leaf blades elliptic, densely hispid, base cordate; inflorescences terminal and axillary; bracts and bracteoles spathulate, densely hispid; anthers with appendage absent, whereas Justicia brasiliana has cylindric and glabrous or glabrescent stems, leaf blades elliptic-lanceolate, base cuneate, inflorescences axillary, bracts and bracteoles subulate, glabrous or glabrescent, anthers with thecae basally appendiculate.…”

“…The genus proved to be rich in amine metabolites, coumarins and lignans (Al-Juaid & Abdel-Mogib, 2004). There is no accurate estimate for the number of the Justicia species in the Brazilian flora (Braz et al, 2002), due to inconsistencies in the circumscription Article of the genus in the country, which requires taxonomic revisions (Profice, 2010). Therefore, the importance of pharmacobotanical studies with species of this genus is emphasized.…”

Justicia acuminatissima (Miq.) Bremek., Acanthaceae, is a subshrub found in northern Brazil, where it is widely used by the population of this region as an antiinfl ammatory medicine. Despite this popular use, there is no pharmacognostical data to support the correct identifi cation of this species. We therefore performed a morphoanatomical, histochemical and phytochemical analysis of the leaves of this species, using well-known methods. The leaves are simple, exstipulate, green on the surfaces, and pubescent, with a lanceolate shape, crenate margin, pinnate venation and decussate phyllotaxy. The parenchyma is palisade and spongy, and its vascular system is bilateral. Glandular and non-glandular trichome and cystoliths were also detected. There are diacytic stomata on both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of epidermis. Histochemical tests revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, amide and protein. Phytochemical tests showed the presence of coumarins, tannins, catechins, saponins and steroids.

“…It was described as Chaetothylax vestitus Rizzini, for ParNa Iguaçu by Rizzini (1952), and it was mistakenly considered by Ezcurra (2019) as synonymous with Justicia goudotii V.A.W. Graham, but should therefore be treated as synonymous with Justicia ramulosa, as already discussed by Profice (2010). In addition Justicia araucariensis Profice, a new name for Chaetothylax vestitus, should also be considered synonymous with Justicia ramulosa.…”

Flora of Acanthaceae of Iguaçu National Park, Paraná, Brazil

Species of Acanthaceae are predominantly associated with conserved forest environments such as Iguaçu National Park (PARNA Iguaçu), which is composed of Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and Araucaria forest. The aim of this work was to perform a floristic study of Acanthaceae of PARNA Iguaçu, with botanical illustrations, an identification key and descriptions of the species. Collections were carried out monthly from August 2015 to July 2016, in the areas of Céu Azul, Capanema and Foz do Iguaçu. The individuals collected were deposited in the UNOP herbarium and the specimens present in the herbaria EVB, HCF, MBM and UNOP, as well as in the virtual herbaria Reflora and SpeciesLink, were analyzed. A total of 13 native species were recorded from Atlantic Forest, distributed in seven genera. Justicia was the most representative, with five species. In all, 12 new records were made for PARNA Iguaçu, of which eight are new records for Semideciduous Seasonal Forest. Of the species found, three are threatened with extinction, one of which is considered vulnerable and two are categorized as endangered, which reinforces the role of PARNA Iguaçu in in-situ conservation in the state of Paraná.
