Dracaena Vandelli ex L. is represented in Andaman and Nicobar Islands by eight species. Dracaena nutans reported earlier from Andaman is now correctly identified as Dracuena pendula which has distribution in adjoining Malay Peninsula and is a new record for Indian flora. Dracaena brachyphylla is an endemic to India confining its distribution to these Islands. A taxonomic account of eight species of Dracaena is presented with key, brief citation, description, distribution, phenology and exsiccata is.Full Text

Floristic diversity of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, comprising seven districts, viz. Chitrakut, Banda, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jalaun, Jhansi and Lalitpur, has been outlined in the present communication. The area is ideal for floristic survey because of its unique phytogeographical position as it lies in a transitional zone between the Upper Gangetic plains and Vindhyan ranges of Central India.The vegetation mainly represents tropical dry deciduous forests, thorn forests and scrub forests with patches of Boswellia, Butea, Anogeissus, Nyctanthes, Cochlospermum, bamboos and grasslands. The floristic anatysis reveals 1088 species belonging to 595 genera and 133 families of vascular plants. Poaceae (168 spp.) is the dominant family, followed by Fabaceae (138 spp.), Cyperaceae (60 spp.), Asteraceae (59 spp.) and Euphorbiaceae (44 spp.) A large number of species growing in this area are of medicinal and economic importance used by local peoples. A brief account of area, topography, climatic conditions, vegetation types, medicinal and economic plants, analysis of flora, systematic enumeration of the genera and species and conservation measures, etc. have been discussed.

Wetlands are an important ecosystems in itself and also form an important life support systems for the flora and fauna. An extensive field survey and plant collection in Samaspur Bird Sanctuary (Salon Wetlands) situated in Rae Bareli district of Uttar Pradesk reveals that 192 species belonging to 147 genera and 59 families have been gathered from the area. Out of them 13 families 44 genera and 65 species are of monocots; 44 families, 101 genera and 125 species are of dicots and 2 families, 2 genera and 2 species are of pteridophytes. The systematic enumeration of plant species along with ecological notes, flowering and fruiting periods, and economic uses have been provided in each species. Besides, the floristic composition, the economic importance and conservation strategies have also been discussed.Full Text

The paper deals with the taxonomic account of the family Gesneriaceae of Northeast India, which includes 4 tribes, 22 genera and 80 species. Species are arranged alphabetically by their correct accepted names followed by a brief description, notes of phelology and distribution. Based on the morphological characters, key to the genera and key to the species are provided for easy identification. Lectotypes of four species i.e. Hemiboea subcapitata C.B. Clarke, Leptoboea glabra C.B. Clarke, L. multiflora (C.B. Clarke) Benth. ex Gamble and Didymocarpus podocarpus C.B. Clarke is designated here.Keywords
