A field study was done to study and document the indigenous knowledge of various ethnic groups of Sikkim regarding animal healthcare. A large number of plants was collected and the information on their ethno-veterinary uses was gathered from local inhabitants. The information about folk medicinal use, vernacular names of plants and the parts of the plants used are documented. During the investigation, a well developed ethno-veterinary system among tribal people was observed. 19 species of plants were recorded, which are used by local people to cure various diseases and disorders. The basic aim of the study was to document knowledge and conserve these medicinal plants.Keywords

This paper presents the findings of an exploratory study on ethnoveterinary medicinal systems used for livestock in Sikkim Himalaya. The data have been collected from March 2008 to June 2009 through open conversation with local people and traditional healers. It has been resulted in the documentation of 27 medicinal plant species belonging to 20 families and 27 genera. There are 16 types of ailment have been reported to be cured by the use of 27 plant species. Out of 27 species, the highest number of plants has been reported to treat cut, injuries and wound. As regards the plant part/s used in remedy preparation, the maximum numbers of species are harvested for leaves (9 species) followed by ischolar_mains and rhizomes (8 species), whole plants, fruits, etc. The richness of plant diversity decreased with increase in altitude but the percentage of species used as medicine steadily increase with increase in altitude, may be due to preference given to herbal remedies in high altitude areas with having no alternative choice and poverty. This underlines the potentials of the ethnomedicine and need for the documentation of traditional knowledge for the greater benefit of mankind.Keywords

The present study reports on the research performance of the Botanical Survey of India (BSI) between 1971 and 2010, based on number of parameters, including publications, citations, impact in terms of average citation per paper, international and national collaboration output, share of publication by different circles of BSI, type of communication, most preferred journals, highly cited papers, authorship pattern and most productive authors. The study analyses 40 years (1971-2010) of publication data drawn from Web of Science (SCI-Expanded). A total of 423 papers were published in 40 years (10.57 papers per year), which received 892 citations with an average of 2.1 citations per paper, h-index of 12 and a p-index of 12.34. It has been observed that during 1977-1986, number of publications was comparatively better. Between 1987 and 2005, a long recession was observed; again it is on rise from 2006 onwards, the citations were following almost the same trend. BSI has published 72 and 38 collaborative papers with involvement of 56 national and 22 foreign institutions respectively. Current Science is the most preferred journal, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research is major domestic collaborator (21 papers), University of Rhode Island, Kingston is the major foreign collaborator (11 papers), USA is the major collaborator country (16 papers) and BSI, Kolkata has contributed maximum number of publications (41%).Keywords

The chromosome numbers of the extant and extinct plants play a significant role in determining the phylogenetic interrelation of different groups. In the post Angiosperm Phylogeny Group system of plant classification era more and more attentions were given in molecular based studies, evidences on plant breeding, intraspecific variation, origin and taxonomic relationship studies of diverse plant group. Exhaustive online database on chromosomal counts have already been developed from various sources. Still, there are many species and genera of plants for which no chromosome count is known. There are countries from which very few counts have been reported. Therefore, there is still a great deal of traditional cytotaxonomic work to be done. The present communication presents 519 records belonging to 343 species, 265 genera and 85 families of Angiosperms of Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah. The paper also reports 60 plant species with new chromosome counts, which were hitherto not reported either in the Chromosome Counts Database (CCDB) or Chromosome Atlas of Flowering Plants of the Indian Subcontinent.Keywords

The present communication measures the growth of research publication of Botanical Survey of India during the period 2001-2015 using bibliometric tools. The data were drawn from the Scopus database and analyzed, which revealed that a total of 613 papers were published during the said period. This analysis also shows that, there is an incremental growth in the number of publications from 7 papers in 2001 to 95 papers in 2015 which is significantly thirteen-fold progress.Keywords

Sixty-one herbarium specimens collected by William Roxburgh (1751–1815) from India have recently been discovered in the Central National Herbarium (CAL), Howrah. A catalogue is provided here, including annotations of original names and determinations, currently accepted names and notes on actual or potential type status. The specimens came to CAL from eight different sources, and notes are provided on their possible origins.Keywords
