Djavolja Varoš, one of the most atractive natural geological formations of errosive origin in Serbia, is situated in the south of the country, and protected by national legislation as a Natural Monument. The taxonomic and ecological analysis of flora in this area has not been processed yet, so we performed a survey of flora in this locality. Plant species were collected, herbarized, and taxonomic and biological spectrum analyses were conducted. This field study revealed that the vascular flora of the study area was made up of 130 constituent species, which belonged to 81 genera and 41 families. The biological spectrum of the flora is characterised by high presence of hemicryphytes (38%) and geophytes (20%).

A study on floristic analysis and ecological assessment of the angiosperm plants in Tarai Region of Kumaun (Uttarakhand) was conducted during the period 2008 to 2011. The study site included Lalkuan (Nainital district) and Kichha tehsil (covering Pantnagar) of district Udham Singh Nagar as these occupy major part of Central Tarai. Total 429 angiospermic plant species were recorded for floristic and ecological analysis during study period. The plant species collected through extensive and intensive explorations were under taken in the study area during different seasons (i.e., summer, rainy, winter and spring) of the year in different ecosystem habitats viz., natural forests, plantations, agro-ecosystem, grassland, savanna, amphibious sites (marsh-meadow), wasteland and road sides. Collected species were classified in different life-forms following Raunkiaer and the biological spectrum for different ecological habitats, viz. natural forest, plantation(s) agro-ecosystem, grassland and for the entire study areas as a whole has been developed.

The Great War

The main aim of the conducted research was to determine the presence of allochthonous plants in the area of the protected natural reserve - The Great War Island. The research was conducted during the vegetation season of 2020. Thirty four allochthonous plant species were recorded and classified into 19 families. Asteraceae (8 species), Fabaceae Poaceae and Sapindaceae (3 species each) had the highest species diversity. Phytogeographic analysis of their primary distribution areas has shown that most belong to the category of floral elements of the "adventitious" areal type. The chorological spectrum is dominated by species of North American origin (58.8%), while in the biological spectrum the most common are therophytes (38.2%). Chronological spectrum analysis has shown the highest prevalence of neophytes (64.7%). Seventeen species have the status of invasive, 16 naturalized, while one species (Morus alba) is characterized as ephemerophyte. The most frequent neophytes on the Great War Island are Acer negundo, Ailanthus altissima, Amorpha fruticosa, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, while among neotophytes, Echinocystis lobata and Symphyotrichum lanceolatus stand out in terms of frequency of occurrence. The geographical position of the Great War Island, due to which it is exposed to periodic floods, high levels of groundwater, strong influence of anthropogenic factors and the biological characteristics of allochthonous species are the main factors enabling them to inhabit this area. Results of this research should be the basis for the development of a strategy for monitoring the condition and planning control measures for the unwanted plant species, in order to protect the indigenous flora. Only careful and responsible management of landscapes of outstanding features such as The Great War Island and taking appropriate preventive measures can prevent the settlement, domestification and further spread of allochthonous plants.

The article contains information on five species and three hybrids (Potamogeton × acutus, Potamogeton × pseudolacunatus, Stuckenia chakassiensis × S. macrocarpa) of vascular plants new to the Tyumen Region; seven of them are hydrophyte and one is a semi-aquatic species. We provided the occurrence data on 37 plant species not previously known in examined administrative districts of the Tyumen region, including four protected (Cypripedium macranthos, Pedicularis dasystachys, Ranunculus silvisteppaceus, Zannichellia repens) and four alien species (Elodea canadensis, Galega orientalis, Impatiens glandulifera, Phragmites altissimus).

The present study forms part of the series of systematic and taxonomic contributions related to plant species of the Italian flora, and also other phanerogams, in light of recent biosystematic works of a molecular-genetic nature. <em>Caloscordum</em> and <em>Nectaroscordum</em> are separated from <em>Allium</em> s.l., <em>Holandrea</em> is included within <em>Dichoropetalum</em>, <em>Ficaria</em> is separated from <em>Ranunculus</em> and <em>Althaea</em> sect. <em>Hirsutae</em> is included within <em>Malva</em>. Confirmation is given for the inclusion of <em>Lavatera</em> within <em>Malva</em>, of <em>Aegilops</em> within <em>Triticum</em> and for the separation of <em>Phelipanche</em> from <em>Orobanche</em>. In addition some observations regarding the genera <em>Cytisus</em>, <em>Hippophaë</em>, <em>Portulaca</em>, <em>Rhaponticum</em>, <em>Senecio</em> and <em>Torilis</em> are presented. Finally new combinations and/or new names are proposed within the genera <em>Caloscordum</em>, <em>Nectaroscordum</em>, <em>Dichoropetalum</em>, <em>Ficaria</em>, <em>Hippophaë</em>, <em>Malva</em>, <em>Portulaca</em> and <em>Rhaponticum</em>.

AbstractLarvae of the South African tephritid flies Mesoclanis polana Munro and M. magnipalpis Bezzi feed in the developing seeds of Chrysanthemoides monilifera. Host specificity evaluation using 109 plant species from 25 families indicated that complete development was restricted to their natural host C. monilifera. Minor feeding and limited development was detected on 18 species, but was of no ecological or economic significance. Mesoclanis polana and M. magnipalpis have been released in Australia and M. polana has established and dispersed widely. Mesoclanis magnipalpis has not yet become naturalized. Parasitism of M. polana in Australia by several species of Hymenoptera has been detected, but is not expected to limit the establishment and impact of these flies.
