Glycosmis is a clearly defined genus within the tribe Clauseneae of
the Aurantioideae subfamily of the family Rutaceae comprising about
40 species (1). Its range of distribution is centered in south and
southeast Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia,
Indonesia) and extends to south China and Taiwan as well as to New
Guinea and north Australia. Exceptions are only cultivated species
like the Chinese G. parvijiora (Sims) Little, formerly called G.
citrifolia (Willd. ) Lindley, which became naturalized in tropical
America and Africa (Angola) (1). The shrubs or small trees are
unarmed and possess pinnate or simple leaves with translucent
punctate glands emitting an aromatic odor when crushed. The
axillary inflorescences are usually dispersed closed panicles with
small white flowers. The fruits are mostly pink, reddish or white
berries of about I cm in diameter with only one or two seeds. The
genus name Glycosmis originates from the sweet smell of the flowers
and the sweet taste of the fleshy pericarp of the fruits. A good
field and herbarium character of the genus is that the buds of new
leaves are usually covered with short rusty-red hairs. In spite of
the good delimitation of Glycosmis from the other closely related
Clauseneae genera Clausena, Micromelum, Murraya, and Merrillia and
the already existing subrevisionary treatment by Stone (1), there
are still many unresolved taxonomic problems at the species level.
The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as Zechmeister after its founder, L. Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer Imprint ever since the series inauguration in 1938. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers. Each contribution is written by a recognized authority in his field and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in question. Addressed to biologists, technologists, and chemists alike, the series can be used by the expert as a source of information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a means of orientation in a rapidly developing discipline.
Die Entwicklung der modernen Urologie von Ende des 19. bis in die
erste Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts spiegelt sich exemplarisch in den
10 hier ausgewahlten Biographien wider. Hauptschauplatze waren
hierbei die europaischen Hauptstadte Wien (von Dittel, Leiter),
Paris (Guyon, Proust) und Berlin (Nitze, Casper und von
Lichtenberg), sowie Nordamerika (Goodfellow, Young).
Neben der Dokumentation der Fachhistorie ist es auch Ziel dieses
Buches, die Stromungen in der Medizin in Beziehung zu den
jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen, kulturellen und politischen
Entwicklungen zu stellen. So erfahrt der Leser sozusagen im
Vorbeigehen auch Wissenswertes uber die viktorianische Gesellschaft
Englands, die Eroberung des Wilden Westens in Nordamerika, der
Belle Epoque Frankreichs sowie uber das Schicksal judischer
Urologen in Deutschland."
