Annonaceae in the Western Pacific: geographic patterns and four new species

Abstract

Abstract. The taxonomy and distribution of Pacific Annonaceae are reviewed in light of recent changes in generic delimitations. A new species of the genus Monoon from the Solomon

Species diversity of Annonaceae in the four selected protected areas in the Bicol Region, Philippines

“…The genus Polyalthia is one of the largest genera within the tribe Miliuseae, with about 155 species (Turner and Utteridge 2017). This genus is widely distributed in South and Southeast Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia.…”

GenusHuberantha(Annonaceae) Revisited: Erection ofPolyalthiopsis, a New Genus forH. floribunda, with a New CombinationH. luensis

“…Mols et al 2008, Saunders et al 2011, Xue et al 2011, Chaowasku et al 2012. The genus Hu be rantha was established as a consequence of the disentanglement (Chaowasku et al 2012(Chaowasku et al , 2015, and is becoming larger with new species described (Muralidharan et al 2015a, 2015b, Turner & Utteridge 2017 and additional new combinations transferred from the genus Polyalthia (Turner 2016). Nevertheless, there are several species awaiting further study to shed light on whether they were already described under other names or they represent undescribed species; one of them is 'Hubera sp.…”

Antimicrobial activity of Xylopia pancheri Baill. Leaf extract against susceptible and resistant Staphylococcus aureus

“…Xylopia pancheri Baill. (Annonaceae) is an endemic shrub that grows on peridotite ground of New Caledonia (Johnson, Munzinger, Peterson, & Murray, 2013;Morat et al, 2012;Munzinger et al, 2016;Turner & Utteridge, 2017), and, to the best of our knowledge, only one study has characterized the chemical composition of the plant leaves and bark extracts and none of their biological activities (Niéto, Sévenet, Leboeuf, & Cavé, 1976). Total leaf extract and alkaloid fraction of X. pancheri were shown to exert light peripheral vasodilatory activity in mice but no experimental demonstration was presented (Coulerie & Poullain, 2016;Sévenet & Pusset, 1996).…”
