When names get established on wrong subjects, the concerns related to the species on which these names are truly to be assigned get misplaced. This communication relates to mistaken/doubtful identities of four species of two closely allied genera of the family Anacardiaceae, three of them of Mangifera L. (M. andamanica King, M. griffithii Hook. f., M. nicobarica Kosterm.) and one of Bouea Meisn. (B. oppositifolia (Roxb.) Adelb).Full Text

Taxonomists seldom stumble upon rare species in explorations, and it is unlikely that they realize the rarity of the material immediately. At best, they could consider such materials interesting and call for greater scrutiny in the fixing of correct identities. One such collection was made while exploring the South Indian species of Habenaria Willd. (Orchidaceae) in Agasthyamalai hills, Tamil Nadu (TN), India.Full Text

Linnaeus described the genus Cycas with the lone species C. circinalis L. from India, which was based on Rheede’s, Hortus malabaricus. Roxburgh included three species, viz. C. circinalis Willd., C. revoluta Thunb. and C. sphaerica Roxb. All three were reportedly introduced in the Botanical Garden, Howrah during 1798–99 from different countries (C. circinalis, Indonesia; C. sphaerica, Moluccas and C. revoluta cultivated in West Bengal gardens).Full Text

Moringa species grow in arid and semiarid areas with mean annual rainfall below 100 cm. They are usually fast-growing and reach maturity in a couple of years. The species are greatly valued for their traditional uses, socio-economic significance and therapeutic applications. Apart from being used as salad/vegetable, many species are effective in the cure of obesity, diabetes, cancer and other diseases. Further, seeds of Moringa stenopetala (Baker.f.) Cufod., the African Moringa, are used in cleansing turbid water in Ethiopia. For these varied and veritable attributes and at different degrees of authenticity/efficacy, a focused publication on these ‘miracle plants’ is in fact called for and a book of this kind is truly welcome.Full Text

Bio-resources in tropical countries are usually concentrated in designated protected areas. The managers of these protected areas habitually focus on conservation of some charismatic and appealing animals and their prey or fodder base but ignore all inclusive diversity and significance of plant wealth therein. Besides what does not occur to them is that plant wealth does amount to wildlife too.Full Text

Trees are vital to uphold a steady and congenial climate as they expressively contribute to atmospheric oxygen, water conservation and in lessening soil erosion and in support of wildlife. Their elegance, grandeur and generosity are documented in numerous articles by passionate tree lovers. The book under review is authored by two field biologists, the first one of them is Divya Mudappa, who specialized in plant–animal interactions and conservation biology while the second author, T. R. Shankar Raman, specialized in birds and also studies involving human interactions with nature.Full Text
