Senecio changii (Asteraceae: Senecioneae), a new species from Muli, Sichuan, southwestern China, is described. It is distinguished in Chinese Senecio s.s. by having lyrate-pinnatisect to pinnatisect leaves and a single terminal large discoid capitulum which is somewhat nodding. Evidence from floral micromorphology, karyology and molecular phylogenetic analyses based on the nuclear ITS/ETS seque...

This article deals with the mechanism of production and the method of reduction of injuries of the lateral condvlar epiphysis of the humerus. These injuries are usually described as affecting the capitulum, but, as noted by Roberts (1936) and Watson-Jones (1943), the detached fragment consists of the capitular epiphysis and the lateral third of the trochlea with a fragment (common to all epiphy...

ABSTRACT Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook. F.; Asteraceae), is one of the most economically important ornamental plants due to its aesthetic value. In present study, we established a micropropagation method for large-scale production quality planting material gerbera ‘Pink Melody’. Eighty-six percent capitulum explants produced adventitious shoots (15.44 ± 0.34 per capitulum) on Murashi...

The treatment of injuries about the elbow joint in young children forms an important part of the work of any traumatic unit. Fracture-separation of the capitulum is comparatively common ; complete descriptions occur in the text-books, and many articles have been written on the subject. But a similar injury of the trochlea or medial condyle is unusual, and no adequate account of the condition ca...

The genera Moscharia (two species) and Polyachyrus (seven species) form a monophyletic group within tribe Mutisieae, subtribe Nassauviinae, defined by the leaves with auricles at their bases, and the capitula with 1-seriate involucre. A cladistic analysis of the species of the two genera was carried out using 22 characters from life cycle, external morphology, pollen, and trichomes. Polarity of...

Described in this paper is a therapeutic concept by which to cope with Monteggia's fracture in childhood. It is based on experience obtained from 72 cases with injuries of that kind and their evaluation in a group study. Therapeutic approach to the individual case was determined by the following criteria: age of infant, localisation and shape of ulnar fracture, reducibility of capitulum radii, ...
