“…The illustration in their paper is clearly of S. wightii although the description appears to be a mixture of information from published works and the specimens they used. The recently described S. pulneyensis ( Soosairaj et al 2021 ) clearly falls within the range of variation of S. wightii , and the holotype specimen at RHT corresponds to S. wightii . The character used to distinguish the two species is the dry pseudo -capsular berry, something that is known to occur in S. wightii (see above).…”

Field studies of dispersal in S. wightii are needed; this type of dry berry is also found in members of the Leptostemonum Clade from Australia ( Symon 1981 ; Martine et al 2019 ) where dispersal can be either via a censer (shaking) mechanism or as trample burrs.…”

The Leptostemonum Clade, or the “spiny solanums”, is the most species-rich monophyletic clade of the large cosmopolitan genus Solanum (Solanaceae) and represents almost half the species diversity of the genus. Species diversity in the clade is highest in the Americas, but significant clusters of endemic taxa occur in the Eastern Hemisphere. We present here a taxonomic revision of the 51 species of spiny solanums occurring in tropical Asia (excluding the island of New Guinea, and the lowlands of Nepal and Bhutan). Three species are described as new: Solanum kachinense X.Aubriot & S.Knapp, sp. nov. from northern Myanmar, S. peikuoense S.S.Ying, sp. nov. from Taiwan, and S. sulawesi X.Aubriot & S.Knapp, sp. nov. from northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. Of the spiny solanums occurring in the region, 38 are native and 13 are introduced from the Americas or Africa, either as adventive weeds or as cultivated plants. Phylogenetic resolution amongst these taxa is still a work in progress, so we have chosen to treat these taxa in a geographical context to aid with identification and further taxon discovery. For the native species we provide complete nomenclatural details for all recognised species and their synonyms, complete descriptions, distributions including maps, common names and uses, and preliminary conservation assessments. For the introduced taxa that have been treated in detail elsewhere we provide details of types, synonyms based on tropical Asian material, general distributions, and common names for the region. We provide lecto- or neotypifications for 67 names; 63 for native and 4 for introduced taxa. All taxa are discussed and compared to similar species; keys are provided for all taxa. We illustrate all native species with herbarium and field photographs and introduced species with field photographs only. All specimens examined for this treatment are included in Suppl. materials 1–3 as searchable files.

“…The yellow to orange color hue of Cape Jasmine seeds is derived from long conjugated double bonds of carotenoids that are categorized into carotenes and xanthophylls, with carbon, hydrogen in common, and oxygen existing in the only xanthophylls [33]. As a medicinal herb due to its antioxidants, antiinflammation, and detoxification, shikonin (C16H16O5), one of the naphthoquinone compounds, is imparted its violet and purple hues by its naphthalene group (absorption peak at approximately 490, 520, and 560 nm) [34][35][36].…”

To protect skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV), zinc oxide (ZnO) with tannin from gallnuts was treated on cotton and polyester fabrics in this study. Before the treatments, the fabrics were dyed with shikonin and xanthophyll from Gromwell and Cape Jasmine. First, this study found that xanthophyll was more effective at preventing light fade or discoloration than shikonin. Despite the highest K/S, the untreated cotton in violet faded the most intensely when exposed to UV. The color variation of untreated polyester was narrow, with little change in L, a*, and K/S. Due to the non-photochemical xanthophyll, the yellow-dyed samples treated with ZnO/polyphenol did not vary yellowness (b*: 28.838) significantly, while the violet fabrics displayed a significant decrease in K/S and an increase in b*. The combination of ZnO and polyphenol treatment improved UV absorption at 350 to 250 nm. Cu-mordanting after ZnO/polyphenols treatment caused the violet cotton to turn reddish from blueish (negative to positive b*), with a hue change of 316° to 59° and the highest ΔE (25.90±4.34) after UV exposure. In this study, the combination of ZnO/polyphenol with Cu-mordants contributed the xanthophyll-dyed polyester to achieve a minimum ΔE and keep chroma and hue after UV exposure.

Collected macrofungal samples were identified based on macroscopic and microscopic characters and confirm by following several manuscripts (authors) (Alam et al, 2008;Soosairaj et al, 2012;Chittaragi et al, 2014;Vishwakarma et al, 2016;Singh and Singh, 2022;Singh and Singh, 2023a).…”

There is worldwide need for alternative source of high quality and protein rich food components which control food insecurity and malnutrition. Due to the nutritional importance, macrofungi (mushrooms) are utilized and consumed frequently by villagers of Ayodhya district, India. In this district the nutritional value of reported macrofungi has been not studied. In current study, eight selective wild macrofungal samples were collected from different sites of study area such as Macrolepiota procera, Tuber aestivum, Auricularia auricula-judae, Hygrocybe eburneus and Ganoderma leucidum. The sample was prepared for nutritional analysis and their nutrient composition has been analyzed as findings result. Nutritionally the protein, carbohydrate, lipid, fibre, and ash content were analyzed and ranged from 21. 14 -36.32%, 11.70 -60.90%, 0.96 -3.25%, 4.32 -41.13% and 3.91 -10.92% respectively. The overall nutrient showed that all collected (selected) macrofungi contains rich protein and carbohydrate content with low lipid (fat) content. The present study expresses and revel the nutritional component as useful awareness to minimize malnutrition for peoples as well as society.
