Lunularic Acid
Lunularic acid is a dihydrostilbenoid found in the liverwort ''Lunularia cruciata'' and in the roots of ''Hydrangea macrophylla''. A lunularic acid decarboxylase has been detected from the liverwort ''Conocephalum conicum ''Conocephalum conicum'', also known as the great scented liverwort or snakeskin liverwort, is a liverwort species in the genus ''Conocephalum''.

Dihydrostilbenoid
Dihydrostilbenoids (bibenzyls) are natural phenols formed from the dihydrostilbene ( bibenzyl) backbone. Examples Dihydro-resveratrol is a natural phenol with a bibenzyl structure found in wine. It is also a metabolite of trans-resveratrol formed in the intestine by the hydrogenation of the double bond by microflora. Combretastatin and combretastatin B-1 are two dihydrostilbenoids found in ''Combretum caffrum'', an African tree. Isonotholaenic acid is another dihydrostilbenoid found in the Andean fern '' Argyrochosma nivea''. Bibenzyls ( 3,4'-dihydroxy-5,5'-dimethoxybibenzyl, 3,3'-dihydroxy-5-methoxybibenzyl ( batatasin III)) can be found in the orchid '' Bulbophyllum vaginatum''. Bis(bibenzyls) and macrocyclic bis(benzyls) can be found in bryophytes, such as the compounds plagiochin E, 13,13'-O-isoproylidenericcardin D, riccardin H, marchantin E, neomarchantin A, marchantin A and marchantin B in the Chinese liverwort ''Marchantia polymorpha''.

Lunularia Cruciata
''Lunularia cruciata'', the crescent-cup liverwort, is a liverwort of the order Marchantiales (until recently included in the order Lunulariales), and the only species in the genus ''Lunularia'' and family Lunulariaceae. The name, from Latin ''luna'', moon, refers to the moon-shaped gemma cups. Distribution ''L. cruciata'' is distributed across the world, found in continents including Europe, Australasia, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. It occurs commonly in western Europe, and is native to the Mediterranean region, where the morphological forms from sexual reproduction are more frequently found there. It is also common in California, where it now grows "wild", and is known as an introduced weed in gardens and greenhouses in Australia.Schuster, Rudolf M. ''The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America'', volume VI, pages 80-91. (Chicago: Field Museum of Natural History, 1992). . Ella Orr Campbell believed that ''L. cruciata'' was introduced into New Zealand sometime after 18 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hydrangea Macrophylla
''Hydrangea macrophylla'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to Japan. It is a deciduous shrub growing to tall by broad with large heads of pink or blue flowers in summer and autumn. Common names include bigleaf hydrangea, French hydrangea, lacecap hydrangea, mophead hydrangea, penny mac and hortensia. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world in many climates. It is not to be confused with '' H. aspera'' 'Macrophylla'. Description The term ''macrophylla'' means large- or long-leaved. The opposite leaves can grow to in length. They are simple, membranous, orbicular to elliptic and acuminate. They are generally serrated. The inflorescence of ''Hydrangea macrophylla'' is a corymb, with all flowers placed in a plane or hemisphere, or even a whole sphere in cultivated forms. Two distinct types of flowers can be identified: central, non-ornamental, pentamerous ones, and peripheral, ornamental, tetramerous ones. The latter have sterile ...

Conocephalum Conicum
''Conocephalum conicum'', also known as the great scented liverwort or snakeskin liverwort, is a liverwort species in the genus ''Conocephalum''. ''C. conicum'' is part of the ''Conocephalum conicum'' complex, which includes several cryptic species. The name ''C. conicum'' refers to the cone-shaped archegoniaphore, which bear sporangia. Habitat and distribution ''C. conicum'' is one of the most common liverworts in northern hemisphere and is widely distributed throughout Canada. ''C. conicum'' is found in open woodlands, sandy banks, wet rocks or cliffs and moist soils and is strongly associated with calcareous substrates. Morphology Thalli ''C. conicum'' is the largest of the thalloid liverworts, growing up to 20 cm long. The thalli can grow to 17 mm wide. The thalli are very strong-smelling, with purplish margins; a dark green, leathery surface; flat and smooth. There is a set of lines running along the thalli's surface. The air pores, which are found between t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
