Nomenclatural changes in Apteranthes Mikan (Asclepiadoideae, Apocynaceae)
2006
El género Apteranthes Mikan se considera constituido por unos ocho táxones, en su mayoría distribuidos por el norte de África. Sin embargo, algunos de sus componentes han sido infravalorados en las revisiones más recientes del género, pese a estar bien caracterizados morfológica y biogeográficamente. En la presente contribución, se aportan datos que sirven para justificar la propuesta de dos nuevas combinaciones nomenclaturales: Apteranthes europaea subsp. negevensis (Zohari ex Feinbrun) M.B. Crespo –que incluye las poblaciones orientales de la especie–, y A. munbyana subsp. hispanica (Coincy) M.B. Crespo & Mateo –que se aplica las poblaciones del sudeste ibérico–. Para ambas se adjuntan ic…

Essential Oil Composition of Stems and Fruits of Caralluma europaea N.E.Br. (Apocynaceae)
2010
The essential oil of the stems and fruits of Caralluma europaea (Guss.) N.E.Br. (Apocynaceae) from Lampedusa Island has been obtained by hydrodistillation and its composition analyzed. The analyses allowed the identification and quantification of 74 volatile compounds, of which 16 were aromatic and 58 non-aromatic. Stems and fruits contained 1.4% and 2.7% of aromatic compounds respectively, while non-aromatic were 88.3% and 88.8%. Non-aromatic hydrocarbons were the most abundant compounds in both organs, followed by fatty acids. Data showed differences in the profiles between stems and fruits which shared only eighteen compounds; stems accounted for 38 compounds while fruits for 53. Fruits …
