Floral biology of Impatiens trichocarpa, an endemic and horticulturally promising balsam from Western Ghats, has been conducted. It flowers during July to November with optimum flowering in the month of September. Anthesis occurred in the night time between 0200 to 0300h and dehisced one day before anthesis. Pollen grains are spherical, light yellow in colour and 32.72μm in diameter. The maximum percentage of stigma receptivity (82%) observed on the day of anthesis. Bees, flies and butterflies forage at the flowers; but bees serve a better pollinator. Nectar production begins soon after anthesis and continues through flower life. The seed germination was limited to 35% which may be one of the reasons for its restricted distribution.Keywords

The occurrence of vivipary in Gluta. travancorica has been treated as a genetic linked adaptive strategy through an evolutionary process to sustain the minimum viable individuals in its habitats. The vicariance of Gluta spp. viz., Southern Western Ghats, Madagascar and New Guinea from the main stock of the Malayan peninsula implies the phytogeographic history of the peninsular India on the basis of continental drift and biotic ferry model of transoceanic movement in plants. Malayan peninsula accommodates about 10 species of the Gluta, which usually inhabit peat swamps or marshy places. The ever-ending physical vagaries experiences in the presently degraded shola/montane ecosystems of the southern Western Ghats has compelled the species to produce viviparous seed germination as an adaptation to make sure its progenies. Further, the vivipary in G. travancorica recalls its possible original habitats in the peat swamps since its allied species are growing as mangrove associates in the Malayan peninsula.Keywords

Two new populations of Humboldtia bourdillonii Prain, an endemic tree of southern Western Ghats, Kerala, were recorded from Kulamavu forest, Idukki district,Kerala. The earlier populations reported are from Arjunankotta-Poonkavanam forests in Periyar Tiger Reserve of Peermede plateau. The population structure including number of mature individuals, gbh, age class along with major associates and seedling bank of the populations were analyzed as part of population ecology and subsequent in situ conservation of the species.Keywords
