A combined morphological and bionomical analysis was performed to clarify the position of a problematic species of the Meligethes lugubris group from Sardinia and Corsica (Coleoptera, Nitidulidae, Meligethinae). This species-group is represented by a dozen anthophagous species associated with Lamiaceae, and distributed from North Africa to Japan. The analysis was mainly focused on the specific ...

eight salvia l. species including s. spinosa l., s. reuterana boiss., s. macrosiphon boiss., s. syriaca l., s. nemorosa l., s. virgata jacq., s. sharifii rech. f. & esfand. and s. mirzayanii rech. f. & esfand. were studied for flavonoid compounds. these constituents were analyzed using two-dimensional maps on silica gel 60f thin layer chromatography. the flavonoid compounds of each spec...

Abstract Three new taxa of subtribe Hyptidinae (Lamiaceae) from Amazonian Brazil are here described: two Pará state Eriope macrostachya var. amazonica, and Hyptis cachimboensis, spathulata Rondônia state. The diagnostic characters, which distinguish them their closest relatives described discussed, conservation status is given a plate provided for each the taxa. conspectus an earlier checklist ...

From the aerial parts of the endemic species Thymus numidicus Poiret locally which is known as “zaatar”, belongs to the Lamiaceae family five flavonoids were isolated using chromatographic techniques and identified by spectral analysis (UV-Visible, MS, H and CNMR) and chromatographic behaviours.

From the aerial parts of Salvia occidentalis (Labiatae) a new diterpenoid with a rearranged neo-clerodane skeleton was isolated. This new compound was named salvioccidentalin and its structure was established by spectroscopic means. A probable biogenetic relationship with salvigenolide from S. fulgens and salvileucalin A and spiroleucantholide from Salvia leucantha is proposed.

Plant essential oils (EOs) have been reported to have health benefit properties and their preventive and therapeutic use in animals is expected to increase in the future. We evaluated the influence of five essential oils obtained from plant species which are known to have positive antimicrobial, antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects--sage EO from Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), oregano...
