Abstract

During a botanical exploration in the Kumaon Himalayas complete specimens of Falconeria himalaica Hook f. were collected at Kalamuni pass at an altitude of 3000 metres. The rediscovery of this taxon is of interest because of its incomplete description and dubious systematic position. The present paper gives a detailed taxonomic description of this taxon.

Abstract

The paper describes the salient features of the vegetation of the Siwalik range, the Chenab valley, the high uplands of Batote, Kistawar and Bhadrawah of Jammu province, the Pir Panjal range, Lolab valley and the mountain spurs of north-eastern portion of Kashmir province. A systematic census of 687 species of which 660 are Angiosperms, 6 are Gymnosperms and 21 are Pridophytes is included in the paper.

Among plants of interest collected were two endemic species, viz., Viola falconeri Hook. f. & Thoms and Hedysarum cachemirianum Benth., seven new records, viz., Onopordon acanthium L., Callianthemum rutaefolium C. A. Mey., Enhydra fluctuans Lour., Merendera persica Boiss., Luzula pallescens (Wg.) Bess., Asperula odorata L., and Conrum maculatum L. and new areas of distribution for Thesium himalense Royle, Hippuris vulgaris L., Menyanthes trifoliata L., and Lathraea squamaria L. which are previously unrecorded in the published literature on the flora of this area.

Abstract

The account presents the plant ecology with a description of soils and other related features of the Krusadi group of islands situated in the Gulf of Manaar approximately between 9°14'-9°15'N and 79°10.5'-79°14.5' E. Data on pH, organic matter contents, total soluble salts, sodium chloride contents and calcium carbonate contents in the soils of different habitats are presented in tabular form and an attempt made to correlate vegetation with the soil features. A classification of vegetation situations rather than strictly vegetation type has been brought out and comparison made with the main neighbouring island of Rameswaram with similar climate. The paper includes a vegetation map of the area prepared during the field work.

Abstract

Slack waters at Digha, Midnapur district, West Bengal are used for irrigation in Betel Cultivation. For quality of slack waters, estimations for pH, T. S. S., CO₂, HCO₃, Cl, SO₄ Ca, Mg and Na were done. These slack Waters are compared - with the local sea water and world average Fresh water It is inferred that these slack waters-are not under the Influence of sea water and can well be compared with world average fresh water. Salinity and sodium hazards are low in slack waters, as such they can be used for irrigation with advantage.

Abstract

This paper is an ecological account of the plant communities and habitats observed in the coastal areas of Saurashtra from Jafarabad to Bhavnagar between 20°52': 21°45' and 71°25': 72°12'; ecological aspects are presented on an ecosystem basis. Plant communities grouped under ecosystems and analyses of soils are described to study soil features in relation to vegetation. A list of the coastal plants is prepared to record their distribution.

Abstract

The recent revision of the genus Pternandra Jack. of the Melastomataceae is justified on the basis of veinlet elements morphology. The naturalness of the key characters is lucid and supports the taxonomical utility of the idioblastic features observed within this genus.

Abstract

A review based on the data on foliar sclereids retrieved from earlier as well as recent publications has been prepared. An analysis of the account indicates that about 430 genera belonging to 110 families spread over 47 orders have foliar sclereids. The majority of taxa exhibit diffuse pattern of distribution of sclereids and terminal pattern has been recorded in 45 genera belonging to 25 families. Their morphogenic importance is also referred.

Abstract

The veinlet termini in several species of Medicosma Hook.f. and Flindersia R. Br. possess varied types of idioblasts : Brachytracheoids, Sclerotracheoids and terminal sclereids. In the light of details on the veinlet syndrome the group relationship among them have been examined. It is considered that varied types of idioblasts are due to different levels of specialisation. Taxonomic implications of veinlet elements are discussed.
