During the preparation of the treatment of the family Heliotropiaceae for Argentina, several names were identified as needing typification to stabilize their nomenclature. As a result, lectotypes are designated for six names (Heliophytum anchusifolium (Poir.) DC. var. angustifolium DC., Heliotropium claussenii A. DC. f. robustior Chodat, H. inundatum Sw. f. elliptica Chodat & Hassl., H. margaritense Hassl. ex I. M. Johnst., H. salicoides Cham., and Tournefortia elegans Cham.) and second-step lectotypes for two names (Heliotropium andinum Rusby and H. maximum Chodat & Hassl.). Furthermore, remarks on types of three names (Heliotropium chrysanthum Phil., H. rugosum Phil., and T. paniculata Cham.) are provided.

Isodon (Schrad. ex Bentham 1832: 40) Spach (1840: 162), belonging to the family Lamiaceae, comprises about 100 species (Chen et al. 2016). Formerly, the species of this genus were included in the genus Plectranthus L’Héritier (1788: 84). In this article, we are designating the lectotype for Plectranthus kurzii Prain (1890: 296) and Plectranthus nilgherricus Bentham (1848: 57), basionyms of Isodon kurzii (Prain) Hara (1985: 234) and Isodon nilgherricus (Benth.) Hara (1985: 236), respectively. The lectotypification of Plectranthus nilgherricus is a second-step lectotypification as per Art. 9. 17 of the ICN (Turland et al. 2018).

During the preparation of the treatment of the family Boraginaceae s. str. for Argentina, dozens of names were identified as needing typifications to stabilize their nomenclature. As a result, lectotypes are designated for 11 names (Allocarya alternifolia Brand, Amsinckia angustifolia Lehm. var. microcarpa Speg., Amsinckia tessellata A. Gray, Echinospermum patagonicum Speg., Eritrichium albiflorum Griseb., Eritrichium humile (Ruiz & Pav.) DC. var. capillatum Clos, Eritrichium humile (Ruiz & Pav.) DC. var. congestum Wedd., Gruvelia pusilla A. DC., Lithospermum chilense Colla, Myosotis corymbosa Ruiz & Pav., and Pectocarya chilensis DC.). Additionally, second-step lectotypes are designated for nine names in Eritrichium Schrad. ex Gaudin (E. calandrinioides Phil., E. cinereum Phil., E. flavicans Phil., E. germainii Phil., E. graminifolium Phil., E. pedicellare Phil., E. pratense Phil., E. pugae Phil., and E. pulchellum Phil.).

The family of horsetails (Equisetaceae) is characterized through their high content of silica (SiO2), which is the highest in known vascular plants. This work has focussed on two species of this family, Equisetum hyemale and Equisetum telmateia, where the biomorphous silica is deposited basically as amorphous SiO2 in the outer epidermis of the plants. As source of SiO2, the original plant material was air-dried and carved or powdered. For the isolation process the biomaterial was pre-treated with aceotropic HCl. This pre-treatment has the advantage of the extraction of high amounts of the natural inorganic matrix. In a second step the organic matrix was removed by a thermal oxidative process in the temperature range of 275 - 1200 ◦C to isolate the biogenic silicon dioxide from the perennial plant. Parameters of time, temperature and the thermal gradient were varied to optimize the process and to get products with the highest possible surface area. Furthermore, the particle morphology of the biogenic SiO2 from leaves and stems was examined separately. The silica deposits were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, gravimetry, nitrogen sorption analysis, and sedimentation analysis.

Willingness To Engage

AbstractThis chapter focuses on entry conditions for family members and recognition of qualifications that are considered secondary policy areas, yet could still influence migrants’ willingness to engage in circular migration. The chapter commences with an analysis of the transposition of the Family Reunification Directive into Polish and Bulgarian law. It then moves on to explore its implementation dynamics through the eyes of the migrant workers who participated in the focus groups as part of this study. As a second step, the chapter examines national instruments in the field of academic and professional qualifications. It takes physicians and nurses as case studies in order to present the challenges associated with practicing regulated professions in the context of circular migration. The chapter concludes with an assessment of existing instruments against the study’s benchmarks in these two policy areas, namely the conditions for family reunification and for migrant workers to have their diplomas and professional qualifications recognised.

Flora Of Argentina

During the preparation of the treatment of the family Cordiaceae for the Flora of Argentina project, some names were identified as requiring clarification following the Shenzhen Code. In this context, a lectotype is designated for Patagonula americana L. var. glabra Cham., a second-step lectotype for Varronia dichotoma Ruiz & Pav., and updates and supporting information for four names already typified by I. M. Johnston (Cordia guaranitica Chodat & Hassl., C. salicina DC., Lithocardium gerascanthus (L.) Kuntze var. puberulum Kuntze, and Saccellium lanceolatum Bonpl.) are provided. Furthermore, remarks on the type of P. tweediana Miers are provided.

Zygophyllaceae in South America is mostly represented by members of the subfamily Larreoideae, which distinguishes the arid and semi-arid regions of Argentina and Chile. The subfamily Tribuloideae is also distributed in the Southern Cone but represented only by three species in Argentina. Currently there are no actualized taxonomic studies of the family that may help to understand its origin and diversification and to serve as a framework for phylogenetical analyses. In this context, the present study provides 9 lectotypifications, 2 epitypifications and 2 neotypifications of names of Zygophyllaceae species from Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Bolivia.

Drying Conditions

One of the most interesting and desirable of all tropical fruits is sapodilla, a member of the family Sapotaceae. In the present study, a new and economical method has been developed for value addition to this fruit into a neutraceutical ready-to-eat formulation using drying as the main step. The drying of sapota fruit was carried out in two steps. In the first step, blanched sapota pulp was partially dried (up to moisture content 32 percent w/w on wet basis) in a convective dryer. The effect of different additives on the drying kinetics was studied and then proper drying conditions were selected. In the second step, different nutritional additives of interest were mixed with this partially dried pulp; subsequently, this mixture was extruded to a variety of shapes, which were finally dried using either a convective dryer or a fluidized bed dryer. The product quality was compared on the basis of color retention, texture, water activity, glucose content, total protein content, bulk density, water solubility index, water absorption index and sensory analysis. The process has a great potential since it is economical and provides a great value addition to the highly perishable sapota fruit.

Hells Canyon

Two Upper Triassic sphinctozoan sponges of the family Sebargasiidae were recovered from silicified residues collected in Hells Canyon, Oregon. These sponges areAmblysiphonellacf.A. steinmanni(Haas), known from the Tethys region, andColospongia whalenin. sp., an endemic species. The latter sponge was placed in the superfamily Porata by Seilacher (1962). The presence of well-preserved cribrate plates in this sponge, in addition to pores of the chamber walls, is a unique condition never before reported in any porate sphinctozoans. Aporate counterparts known primarily from the Triassic Alps have similar cribrate plates but lack the pores in the chamber walls. The sponges from Hells Canyon are associated with abundant bivalves and corals of marked Tethyan affinities and come from a displaced terrane known as the Wallowa Terrane. It was a tropical island arc, suspected to have paleogeographic relationships with Wrangellia; however, these sponges have not yet been found in any other Cordilleran terrane.
