Abstract

Results of the plant distribution pattern with reference to copper mineralisation in Singhbhum copper belt, Bihar are presented. In the heart of mineralised zone, Hyptis suaveolens or Croton roxburghii dominates. In areas under moderately high level of copper, the dominant species is not uniform and some of these stretches are dominated by Hyptis suaveolens or Croton roxburghii while other have shown Cymbopogon martini or Anogeissus latifolia or Shorea robusta or Diospyros melanoxylon. In contrast, sampling zone containing low levels of copper (around 200 ppm and less) is dominated by either Evolvulus aislnoides or Lantana camara or Woodfordia fruticosa. Areas that contain low copper values are also demarcated by Blumea oxyodonta and Polygonum plebejum. Overall analysis indicates that species varied in the copper tolerance and plants like Hyptis suaveolens and Croton roxburghii dominate when log copper values reach around 4.0. Species like Acacia torta, Diospyros melanoxylon and Holarrhena antidysenterica showed their maximum numbers when log copper values are between 2 and 3. It is suggested that the species combination and community structure are dependent on substrate copper levels.

Abstract

The present report attempts to evaluate the existing literature with regard to geobotanical and biogeochemical methods of investigation for mineral prospecting. The emphasis is laid o.i the validity of grouping of indicator plants into 'Universal' and 'Local' in the light of their limitations in application value. The report also stresses the essentiality of biosystematic studies prior to making any new reports from any mineralized areas. This suggestion is made taking in view the prevailing opinions on the evolution and adaptation of indicator plants. Moreover, few notable indicator species are now recognised as only ecotypes of the related species growing on unmineralised areas. A compilation of indicator plants is made and the scope of utilisation and profitable exploitation of these taxa is discussed. A few important aspects of biogeochemistry are also given which are necessary in systematic and effective orientation surveys. It was felt that instead of taking up this subject in the established line, the analysis of herbarium material, procured from different herbaria of the country would be of great use for a quick tracing and assessment of mineral rich areas in the country.

Abstract

Strobilanthes circarensis described by Gamble based on incomplete material is subjected to critical studies and its identity is compared with that of S. neilgherrensis Bedd, and S. pulneyensis C.B. Clarke. The reports of its rarity md its occurrence elsewhere after type collection are reviewed. It is now proved conspecific with S. pulneyensis and a detailed description with an illustration is included.

Abstract

Forty eight plant species (528 plant samples) from the Singhbhum copper belt were examined and their relationships with soil copper gradient were assessed. Syzygium cumini, Woodfordia fruticosa, Cleistanthus collinus and Buchanania lanzan are observed to grow in very high soil copper concentration maintaining remarkably moderate levels of copper in their bioparts. Results of Student's 't' test suggests that some species exhibit preferential concentration of copper in different bioparts. Copper levels estimated in Anogeissus latifolia, Butea frondosa, Cleistanthus collinus, Croton roxburghii, Syzygium cumini, Mitragyna parvifolia, Gardenia gummifera, Nyctanthes arbortristis. Shorea robusta and Terminalia crenulata showed significant relationships with that of soil copper. However, none of the plants examined can be graded as 'hyperaccumulators'or 'accumulators".

Abstract

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).

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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).

Abstract

Kolleru lake is a large fresh water body extending over 850 sq. km in the Krishna and West Godavari districts of Andhra Pradesh, between 81°40' and 80°20' E and 17°25' and 1.6°28' N. The entire lake being shallow, has only littoral vegetation with practically no limnetic and profoundal zones. As the lake receives rich nutrients as effluents from the several drains that empty into it, the vegetation is luxuriant. About nineteen species of hydrophytes belonging to thirteen angiosperm families are recorded. Data on the distribution of these hydrophytes in the lake and their frequency, relative frequency and abundance from different regions of the lake at different periods of the year, are presented.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.
