The form of in-depth, unstructured interviews through suggestions from those who examine the authentic lives or “life worlds” of the perpetrators. That observation data must be in-depth and detailed, the data must be depicted clearly, the description is sufficient so that the reader can understand what happened and how it happened. The research location is at a vocational school in the city of Ternate, in this case the researcher tries to research the preparation of students in facing the global market in the work sector and currently what is happening regarding ASEAN issues and research results is that vocational schools in the city of Ternate have prepared themselves for global competition and are preparing skilled workers who are ready to be used in the world of work.
title: A Floating Wetland for the Rouge
Creators: name: Zbiciak, Teresa
Publisher: name: University of Michigan
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: floating wetland
subject: Rouge River
subject: prototype

description: The Rouge River watershed in southeast Michigan includes some of the region’s oldest, most densely populated, and heavily industrialized areas. While decades of restoration efforts have improved the environmental quality, the river continues to face challenges from combined sewer overflows (CSOs), hardened banks, and industrial runoff. This practicum explores the potential of Artificial Floating Wetlands (AFWs) as a novel intervention to contribute to current efforts on the Rouge River to improve water quality and public connection. Drawing from a contextual review of academic literature and online resources, site visits, and precedent analysis, the project evaluates existing AFW design strategies for ecological suitability, material sustainability, and applicability in an urban river context. The research culminated in the development of prototype and visual communication materials to support stakeholder engagement. The findings offer a framework for future design iterations and implementation discussions tailored to the unique conditions of the Rouge River.

Marinellia lingulifera

description: MARINELLIA LINGULIFERA RIEDL, 1954
 Marinellia lingulifera Riedl, 1954: 223–231, figs 30– 32.
 Distribution: Mediterranean Sea (Riedl, 1954).
 This species was considered by Riedl (1954) to be a close relative of Trigonostomum, mainly based on the presence of an antero-ventral invagination forming a kind of ‘proboscis’. Other features in which M. lingulifera resembles Trigonostomum species are the pharynx, which is strongly inclined forwards and shows very strong external muscles and weak radial ones (Riedl, 1954: 227), the double connection in the female system (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31), the presence of a bursa (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31: rs) with a long and narrow bursal stalk, paired ovovitellaria and a bursal appendage that consists of two coiled tubes, fused at their base (Riedl, 1954: 225). Three other features of M. lingulifera are not found in any Trigonostomum species: the presence of a muscular tongue in front of the pharynx (Riedl, 1954: 227–228, fig. 31: z), a muscular septum connecting the invagination with the pharynx (Riedl, 1954: fig. 31: ms), and an unpaired seminal vesicle (Riedl, 1954: 226). Ax (1971) considered M. lingulifera to be the sister group of Trigonostomum, based only on the presence of the antero-ventral invagination. There is, however, no material of this species available and some of the observations, such as the unpaired seminal vesicle, the detailed structure of the copulatory organ and the invagination certainly need confirmation. In addition, the copulatory organ and the bursal appendage are insufficiently described and not even figured in the original description.

Studies of sediments in a tidal environment
Creators: name: Fitzpatrick, Fiona
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1991

description: Five sedimentary environments in Plymouth Sound, S.W. England, are defined by side-scan sonar surveys calibrated by direct sampling by SCUBA divers: (i) uniform mud depocentres, (ii) areas of continual sediment reworking, (iii) areas of relict sedimentation, (iv) areas of episodic deposition and, (v) clean-washed rock outcrops. Net sediment transport paths are defined using the physical properties of the sediment. Analysis of Airborne Thematic Mapper and Compact Airborne Spectographic Imager scanner data at High and Low Water, with concurrent sampling has enabled the relationship to be established between suspended sediment concentration, percentage organics, temperature and salinity and a marked continuity between the sea bed and some surface water properties has been defined. Such techniques identify previously-unrecognized features such as tidal gyres above areas of featureless acoustic response. The anistropy of magnetic susceptibility of diver-orientated samples, showed that the primary fabric of their sediments is controlled by modal sediment size, magnetic mineralogy and the type and intensity of the water currents. The effect of biogenic disturbances and the re-establishment of magnetic alignment under different depositionary controls are significant features in the development of secondary fabric. The combination of these results has defined the history of the ancestral inlet throughout the Late Quaternary, which is shown to have been controlled by the lithology, the structure of South West England and the climatic changes experienced by the region and the English Channel. The development and characteristics of the present day hydrodynamical regime, its adaptation to the presence of the Breakwater and the response of the sea bed to this feature are identified by combining information from these techniques.
Soil and Wastewater Properties that Influence the Uptake of Anti(retro)viral Pharmaceuticals in Plants

description: This study evaluated the fate of anti(retro)viral (ARVDs) pharmaceutical compounds in the wastewater-soil-plant-human continuum. Wastewater frequently contains pharmaceutical micropollutants. A cause to worry is the potential uptake and bioaccumulation of these biologically active contaminants via the plant's roots into the edible tissues, posing a health threat to non-target consumers. Presently, the influence of the wastewater and soil parameters (pH, soil organic matter, dissolved organic carbon) on the uptake patterns of the (ARVDs) pharmaceutical compounds is unclear. Hydroponic and pot-soil experiments were utilized to assess the ARVD accumulation in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Spiked freshwater (stored rainwater) and synthetic wastewater (adopted as a surrogate for actual wastewater) were used as irrigation agents. The OECD 106 adsorption/desorption protocols were used to determine the binding potential of the ARVD molecules to the soil sorbent. ARVD solutes and associated metabolites were separated, detected, and quantified using a liquid chromatograph- a high-resolution mass spectrometer. ARVD accumulation in the lettuce positively correlated with molecule lipophilicity, whereby solutes with log Kow > 1 were detected in soils and the exposed lettuce. In contrast, solutes with log Kow< 1 neither accumulated in the soils nor the lettuce. The mean accumulation of ARVDs in lettuce grown in low organic, sandy soils was eight times higher (323 ng g-1) than in lettuce grown in organic-rich soils (39 ng g-1). While wastewater independently reduced accumulation in lettuce by 37-97 % in aqueous-based experiments, in synthetic wastewater-irrigated soils, accumulation was six times higher (310 ng g-1) than in freshwater-irrigated soils (52 ng g-1). Nevirapine was identified as a priority contaminant since it accumulated in the edible tissues of lettuce. Nonetheless, its accumulation was 2000 times below the daily dietary intake limits. Irrigation using ARVD-contaminated wastewater enhances the accumulation of organic micropollutants in plants.
Archaeomagnetic Directional Studies Of Large Fired Structures In Britain

description: Merged with duplicate record 10026.1/820 on 14.02.2017 by CS (TIS)
description: Archaeomagnetic directional dating of several Scottish sites has been undertaken by extensive sampling of large, physically stable vitrified exposures. Isothermal remanences and the demagnetisation patterns isolated using alternating magnetic fields and thermal methods, show that vitrification occurred under limited oxidation at temperatures >600°C and that the vitrification was physically stable below 600°C at all but one of the sampled structures. Remanence directions were isolated by demagnetisation techniques and show that these sampled forts and duns collectively span a period from the late 3rd century B.C. to 5th century A.D. Calibration of mean magnetic directions shows general consistency with 14c dating but not with thermoluminescence dates. An archaeomagnetic curve of "best fit" incorporating all dating methods largely confirms the previous Iron Age secular variation curve. Field observations, systematic sampling and magnetic measurement of features of various archaeological ages, as well as an experimental kiln, has shown that there are both random and systematic directional deviations which do not precisely correlate with other magnetic properties. These deviations are thought to be due to more complex factors than that suggested by standard refraction corrections and appear to be attributable to not only magnetic distortions through already cooled magnetic materials but also complex localised magnetic interactions during cooling. Magnetic heterogeneity can contribute toward randomising such effects. Movement on cooling was insignificant in most cases whilst fabric anisotropy did not cause significant magnetic deflections. Systematic and preferential sampling of rapidly cooled areas gives the most consistent results, although mean magnetic directions from slowly cooled and magnetically heterogeneous structures can also give well defined magnetic directions.
The Microbiostratigraphy of the Paiaeocene of the Northwest European Continental Shelf
Creators: name: Bidgood, Michael Dominick
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: A total of 186 samples taken from 9.offshore Central & Southern North Sea boreholes, 1 onshore "XJK borehole, 2 onshore UK locahties and 2 onshore Danish' localities were processed and analysed for microfauna. A total of 273 individual taxa were identified- the majority to species level. The dommant microfaunal group recorded are the Foraminifera of which 23 genera were agglutmated, 75 calcareous benthonic and 21 planktonic. Other groups recorded are the Ostracoda which comprised 5 genera, Diatomacea 2 and Radiolaria 1. The recorded taxa are diagnosed and their stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental significance discussed. The samples range in age from Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) through Paiaeocene (Danian & Thanetian) to Early Eocene (Ypresian) and occasionally Middle Eocene (Lutetian). The offshore boreholes are biostratigraphically zoned with respect to the published biozonation scheme of King, 1989, and the so-called "bioevents" (i.e. microfossil marker horizons) described by Mudge & Copestake, 1992. The emphasis of the study was placed on the stratigraphical distribution of the microfaunas, particularly in the offshore realm where the majority of the boreholes (7) are located in the Southern North Sea area (Quadrants 44 and 49); a region lacking in previously published research on microfaunas of this age. The biozonation scheme of King, 1989, is found to be broadly applicable to all of the boreholes studied although some dififerences m detail were noted. Not all of the bioevents of Mudge & Copestake (1992) are recorded. The samples studied are insuflBciently closely spaced to permit the construction here of a separate biozonation scheme, specific to the Southern North Sea area, although it is considered that the future creation of such a scheme could be justified with additional data. A total of 53 individual microfossil marker horizons thought to have stratigraphic utility in the area are noted. The bulk of the Paiaeocene sediments deposited in the Southern North Sea area were laid down under moderate palaeodepths (c. middle shelf) and probably representative of the socalled "outer sublittoral" biofacies of King, 1983. Evidence for progressive deepening of water depth towards the north of the area and mto the Silver Pit Basin was noted. The microfaunal assemblages from the offshore boreholes are similar in overall character to microfaunas recorded from onshore Palaeogene sections in the UK and Denmark.

ATMOSPHERIC TRACE METAL BIOGEOCHEMISTRY AND FLUXES TO SHELF SEAS
Creators: name: WELLS, CHRISTINA LOUISE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1999

description: The total concentrations of particulate trace metals (Al. Cd, Co, Cu, Fe. Mn, Na. Ni. Pb, Zn) with analytical quality assurance, have been determined in atmospheric aerosols at two coastal sites, and during cruises in the Celtic Sea. Sampling at a site on the western English Channel covered 19 months and represents one of the most comprehensive time series of trace metals in atmospheric aerosols. Aerosol concentrations of Cd. Cu, Pb and Zn for the English Channel were lower than previously reported and Al. Co and Mn concentrations were similar to literature values. The elements were grouped according to behaviour such that Group 1 elements (Cd, Fe. Mn, Pb and Zn) displayed enhanced concentrations in autumn/winter 1994 and 1995. whereas Group 2 elements (Al, Co, Cu, Na and Ni) had enhanced concentrations during winter 1995 only. This was ascribed to source functions being dependant on wind direction with Group 1 elements being carried mainly by north easterly air masses, whereas Group 2 elements originated mainly with air masses from the south west. Dissolved trace metal (Al, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb) analyses were carried out on rain waters collected at the English Channel site. The rain water analyses showed that the soluble trace metal fraction was in the order Co = Cu > Ni >Pb > Na » Al and wet and dry depositional fluxes accounted for the differential behaviour and the solubility of aerosol trace metals on contact with sea water. Aerosol concentrations are also reported for the north western Mediterranean and the Celtic Sea. In the former location, the aerosol trace metal concentrations were lower than those reported in literature and in the Celtic Sea there was a gradient in the trace metal composition of the aerosol from land to open sea. The solid state speciation of Cd and Pb gave an increasingly matrix-bound fraction in the order north western Mediterranean < western English Channel < Celtic Sea and the Celtic Sea aerosols had the greatest sea water solubilities of all elements, except Ni. Concentrations of Cu, Ni and Pb in English Channel aerosols, rain waters and the fraction partitioning from aerosols on contact with sea water, together with sea water concentrations from the literature, were used to devise a trace metal flux model for the English Channel. The model showed that of the total trace metal fluxes into the English Channel, the atmospheric fluxes were in the order of importance Pb > Cu > Ni. The overall budgets revealed discrepancies in the mass balances, which were identified as sediment-water exchange for Ni and Pb and adsorption onto particles for Cu. These budget calculations provide a basis for the development of more advanced modelling concepts involving coupled atmosphere-ocean interactions.

description: Limited degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel kinematic mechanisms (PKM) are capable of high bandwidth tracking and disturbance rejection with smaller actuators than are required for serial machines. A high performance Nyquist-stable (NS) controller with nonlinear dynamic compensation (NDC) applied to a new PKM is presented. The Popov criterion is used to show absolute stability (AS) of the closed loop system and experimental evidence of closed loop performance is provided. This novel approach to PKM control provides 38 dB of disturbance rejection below 10 Hz, an order of magnitude more than what is achieved by implementing an absolutely stable fixed gain (ASFG) controller.
LATE-GLACIAL AND HOLOCENE VARIATIONS IN FIRE FREQUENCY IN THE CENTRAL PLATEAU AND YELLOWSTONE-LAMAR PROVINCES OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Creators: name: HOOPER MILLSPAUGH, SARAH
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1997

description: The fire history in two geovegetation provinces in Yellowstone National Park was reconstructed to determine relations between postglacial climate change, fire frequency, and vegetation. Fire reconstructions were based on charcoal preserved in lake-sediment cores from the Central Plateau and Yellowstone-Lamar Provinces, and fire-related erosional events were inferred from changes in sediment magnetism. The fire records were compared with pollen data and paleoclimatic reconstructions for the past 17,000 years. In the Central Plateau Province, infertile soils restricted the vegetation response to Holocene climate changes, but fire frequency changed continuously as a result of variations in the intensity of summer drought. Fire frequency was highest (ten to 15 events/1000 years) when summer temperatures were high and effective precipitation was low in the early Holocene (ca. 10,000 cal yr BP). These conditions were caused by greater-than-present summer insolation and the expansion of die eastern Pacific subtropical high pressure system, which affected temperature and moisture conditions in the southern and central part of Yellowstone National Park. After 8000 cal yr BP, fire incidence decreased to present frequencies (two to three events/1000 years). The trend towards fewer fires coincided with decreasing summer insolation and cooler, effectively wetter conditions than before. In the Yellowstone-Lamar Province, fire frequency was moderate (six to ten events/l000 years) in the early Holocene. Pollen data indicate that summers then were warmer and wetter as a result of stronger-than-present monsoonal circulation that brought increased precipitation to the northern part of Yellowstone National Park during the summer insolation maximum. In the last ca. 2000 years, xerophytic vegetation has increased in the Yellowstone-Lamar Province, and fire frequency reached its highest levels (12 to 17 events/1000 years). The contrast in the two fire histories suggests that fire regimes reflect variations in the intensity of summer drought that resulted from variations in the seasonal cycle of insolation. Fire regimes in both provinces have been non-stationary during the Holocene as fire frequency changed continuously with millennial-scale climate variations. Fire incidence has also changed on submillennial-time scales. Several ca. 500-year periods were characterized by high fire occurrence in both provinces, including the period from ca. 500-1000 cal yr BP, which corresponded with the Medieval Warm Period.
THE QUANTITATIVE ISOLATION OF 'INSOLUBLE ORGANIC MATTER' (IOM) FROM SEDIMENTS AND BACTERIA, AND ITS ATTEMPTED DISSOLUTION USING THE IONIC LIQUID l-ETHYL-3- METHYLIMIDAZOLIUM CHLORIDE-ALUMINIUM (HI) CHLORIDE
Creators: name: SUTTON, PAUL ANTONY

description: Organic matter which is insoluble in common solvents and non-oxidising acids often comprises the quantitatively most important fraction of organic matter in sediments. This operationally defined material is usually simply termed 'insoluble organic matter' (IOM) or 'kerogen' when it is isolated from ancient sediments. Indeed, kerogen is regarded as the most abundant form of carbon on the planet. The molecular character of this generic material has not been fully elucidated, principally because of its insolubility which limits instrumental methods of analysis to those applicable to solid substrates. This thesis describes the quantitative isolation of IOM from lacustrine and marine sediments and two species of methanogenic bacteria using a sequential isolation procedure. A range of synthetic IOMs (melanoidins) was also prepared. The dissolution of IOM and melanoidins obtained in this manner was then attempted using the acidic ionic liquid l-ethyl-3- methylimidazolium chloride-aluminium (III) chloride. Two synthetic dendrimers containing similar functional groups to those observed in sedimentary IOM were used to try and assess the mode of action of the ionic liquid. Ionic liquid treatment of the DCM soluble dendrimers resulted in the formation of 7 - 62 % of material that was no longer soluble in DCM, whilst the soluble components had been substantially altered. The ionic liquid was found to non-quantitatively promote ether cleavage, protonation and rearrangement reactions. IOM was isolated from lacustrine Rostherne Mere, UK, sediments (7 - 3 0 % dry weight), Kimmeridge Clay, Dorset (11 - 12 %) and methanogenic bacteria (Methanococcus jannaschii, 3 %; Methanobacterium thermoaiitotrophicum, 0.1 %) using a time-consuming isolation procedure involving over forty separate chemical manipulations. Monitoring of the sequential isolation of IOM and characterisation of the final isolates was carried out using solid-state NMR, IR, elemental analysis, pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS), scanning electron microscopy, and the newer surface sensitive technique of time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Less than 1 % of sedimentary IOM and 5 % of Kimmeridge Clay IOM was soluble in DCM following ionic liquid treatment, whilst alkyl chains were lost from the insoluble portion which also increased in aromaticity. The poor yield recovered following ionic liquid treatment of M. jannaschii IOM (5 %) was attributed to loss of volatile material during hydrolysis. Following ionic liquid treatment 93 - 96 % of the melanoidins remained insoluble in DCM although their character had been altered, becoming more condensed. This ionic liquid dissolution procedure has not provided the substantial progress in elucidating the molecular character of IOM promised by earlier reports.

description: This thesis details the development of several highly sensitive liquid chromatography post-column reaction detectors based on chemiluminescence (CL) for the ion chromatography (IC) determination of metal species in a range of sample types. The first chapter describes a non-selective multi-element CL detector based on metal-ligand reactions involving cobalt (11) and EDTA. A complexation reaction was designed so that eluting metal species displaced or produced equivalent amount of free cobalt ions which then catalysed the CL oxidation of luminol. The effect of pH, temperature and reaction time was investigated and optimised. It was found that the detector responded to a wide range of metals capable of forming EDTA complexes, even the relatively weak complexes such as those of magnesium and calcium. However, problems with the high back-ground signal limited sensitivity to the low ug 1-1 range. The next chapter deals with the development of a highly sensitive IC method for the determination of two environmentally important chromium species, namely chromium (III) and chromium (VI). A rapid ion exchange separation was achieved using a single column with potassium chloride eluent. This was incorporated into a luminol-H2O2 CL detector, specific for chromium (III). On-line reduction was required in order to visualise the chromium (VI). Detection limits for chromium (III) and chromium (VI) wer 0.05 ug 1-1 and 0.1 /ug 1-1 respectively. Good results were obtained with a freshwater standard reference material and lyophilised samples as part of the author’s participation in a Bureau Communtaire de reference (BCR) certification exercise. Sample pH was found to have considerable influence on the stability of the species and this is described and discussed. The third and largest part of the study involved the development of an IC system for the ultra-trace determination of silver in pressurised water reactor (PWR) primary coolant, of particular concern to the nuclear power industry. A novel ion exchange separation was achieved on hydrophillic resins giving excellent separation from divalent cations. A CL post column reaction detector was designed based on the oxidation of luminol with persulphate. Good quantitative performance was accomplished based on the analysis of a certified reference material and simulated PWR coolant with detection limit for silver of 0.05 /ug 1-1. Finally, a CL detection system was developed for determining gold (III) after IC separation. A novel aspect was that no added co-oxidant was required for the luminol reaction. Results for a standard reference metal alloy sample was in good agreement with the certified value. Again, high sensitivity was achieved with a detection limit of 0.25 ug 1-1.

description: The equivalence of energy and time is published in "International Journal of Physics and Astronomy". There is the formula for this equivalence. Since time is relative according to ALBERT EINSTEIN's special and general theories of relativy, energy must therefore be relative because of the equivalence of energy and time. This means the energy must be larger or smaler depending on the state of motion. If the movement is fast, the energy would have to be greater.

AN INVESTIGATION OF THE THERMOPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROFLUOROALKANES, AND THE CONTRIBUTION OF HALOCARBONS TO THE CHLORINE/BROMINE LOADING OF THE ATMOSPHERE
Creators: name: DOWDELL, DAVID CHRISTIAN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1993

description: A capillary flow gas viscometer has been used to measure the shear viscosities of the hydrofluoroalkanes HFC 134a, HCFC 123, HCFC 124 and the ternary blend MP 39, at pressures up to 0.1 MPa relative to a nitrogen standard. Having applied small correction factors to the measured flow time data, the resultant viscosities are compared to those obtained by other workers (where possible) using alternative techniques. We calculate self diffusion coefficients and hard sphere collision diameters for the molecules within the rigorous Chapman-Enskog kinetic theory of gases, and calculate optimum well depths of the intermolecular interactions using the Extended Law of Corresponding States. The use of a Stockmayer potential energy function by other workers is discussed and within this, the Mason-Monchick approximation is applied to calculate the percentage effect of the dipole moment on the collision integral. In order to assess the affect to the atmospheric chlorine loading of the hydrochlorofluorocarbons measured above (HCFC 123. HCFC 124 and HCFC 22 in MP 39) as well as other halocarbons currentiy in use, two globally averaged mass balance models have been developed on a workstation spreadsheet to assess the future chlorine and bromine levels in the atmosphere and the sensitivity of those loadings to possible forcing factors. These models use production, growth, lifetime and concentration data for fourteen chlorocarbons and three bromocarbons and allow for characteristic emission profiles according to the use to which the halocarbon is applied. Current international agreement, ie. Montreal Protocol 3, is used as a reference level (in most cases), and the models have been used to assess tiiose scenarios which most influence the peak level of chlorine and bromine attained, when that peak occurs and the period of time before 'safe' levels are reached.

Avoidance of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Spontaneous and Facultative Hibernators

description: Smooth and skeletal muscle changes were compared from overwintering white-tailed prairie dogs, spontaneous hibernators that undergo regular, low-temperature torpor bouts, and black-tailed prairie dogs, facultative hibernators that use sporadic, moderate-temperature torpor bouts. The objectives were to assess the abilities of these two species with dramatically different torpor patterns (1) to conserve skeletal muscle morphology, protein, and strength and (2) to use labile protein in the small intestine and liver during the winter season of reduced activity and food intake. Mass and protein concentration of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL), soleus, liver, and small intestine, as well as skeletal muscle strength and fiber morphology for the EDL and soleus, were compared before and after hibernation in both species. Both species appeared to be similar to overwintering black bears and underwent very little strength and protein loss, as compared with euthermic models of immobility and long-term fasting. Although the two species used vastly different hibernation strategies, none of the changes in parameters related to muscle atrophy and labile-protein use during the hibernation season differed significantly between them. Therefore, it appears that regardless of the phenotypic expressions of hibernation, the outcome is the conservation of skeletal muscle.

REMARKS: Ravara et al. (2010) revised the European specimens previously identified as Inermonephtys inermis Ehlers, 1887 and compared them with the holotype of I. inermis from Florida (MCZ 1088). Since differences were observed they erected a new species for the European specimens, I. foretmontardoi, and assumed that all the previous European records of I. inermis should be assigned to the new species. Consequently, all the previous records of I. inermis from the Adriatic Sea are herein considered to belong to I. foretmontardoi.

 Lectotype (Brenan in Hubbard & Milne-Redhead, Fl. Trop. E. Africa, Leguminosae 1: 43. 1959): Herb. Linn. No. 1228.32 (LINN).
 Current name:  Mimosa pigra  L. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae).
 Note: Brenan treated 1228.32 (LINN) as the holotype, and was followed in this by authors such as Wijnands (Bot. Commelins: 151. 1983) and Howard (Fl. Lesser Antilles 4: 368. 1988). With this typification, Brenan treated M. asperata as a synonym of M. pigra L. (1755). However, Barneby (in Tan, Davis & Hedge Festschr.: 140. 1989) rejected Brenan’s choice in favour of Miller’s t. 182, f. 3 (1760), wrongly believing the material to post-date the protologue. There appears to be no evidence for this. The Miller plate is identifiable as M. berlandieri A. Gray which, if accepted as the type, would result in M. asperata being the earliest name for this taxon, and it is in this sense that Barneby uses M. asperata, as does Bässler (in Feddes Repert. 96: 599. 1985). There appear to be no grounds for rejecting Brenan’s earlier choice of type. However, in a further complication, Barneby (in Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 65: 437. 1991) argues that Brenan’s type is identifiable as M. pellita Humb. & Bonpl., rather than M. pigra sensu stricto. While it seems clear that the type of M. asperata must be 1228.32 (LINN), differences of opinion over its identity mean that M. asperata may be treated either as a synonym of M. pigra, or as the correct name for what has been known as M. pellita. This is particularly unfortunate because Barneby uses M. asperata in a different sense, that of M. berlandieri.
