The paper presents a comprehensive account on taxonomic identity, niche characteristics and distribution pattern of two important bamboo species of Meghalaya viz., Phyllostachys mannii Gamble and Sinarundinaria griffithiana (Munro) C.S. Chao & Renvoize. The altitudinal distribution of both the species, and stand micro-environmental variables and soil characteristics indicate similar niche of the species. Both the species follow three-phase growth sequence. Based on the culm height, diameter and sheath morphology, it was concluded that Phyllostachys mannii, Phyllostachys assamica and Phyllostachys bambusoides are synonyms instead of being independent species as has been argued by many earlier workers. The distribution map of Phyllostachys mannii and Sinarundinaria griffithiana in Meghalaya shows extremely restricted distribution. Phyllostachys mannii has a restricted distribution world-wide and is confined to Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland of India, Yunnan province of China, and Myanmar. Sinarundinaria griffithiana has also extremely restricted distribution in Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and hills of West Bengal in India, Bhutan, Laos, Myanmar, China and Vietnam. Hence, based on their global distribution pattern, both the species may be termed as Endemic to South-East Asia.Keywords

Systematic study on the vascular plants was conducted in Mandal Forest, located in the outer fringes of Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Himalaya. 575 species of angiosperms (364 genera and 101 families), 61 species of Ptridophytes (33 genera 21 families) and 4 species of Gymnosperms (3 genera 4 species) were recorded within about 10 km2 between 1500 m to 2900 m altitude amsl. The dominant families were: Poaceae (57), Asteraceae (44), Orchidaceae (36), Rosaceae (33), Lamiaceae (29), Cyperaceae (16) and Polygonaceae (16) in angiosperms and Polypodiaceae and Dryopteridaceae among the ferns. The study area forms only 0.28% of the total area of the erstwhile Chamoli District yet it harbours 28.44% of angiospermic flora, which makes it one of the interesting sites for the plant diversity in the District.Keywords

Andaman and Nicobar Islands are classified as one of the 12 biogeographical zones of India. The vegetation of these islands is classified as 'Littoral' and 'Inland'. These islands represent 700 genera belonging to 140 families. About 14% of angiospermic species are endemic to these islands. The flora of Andaman Group of islands is distinct from that of Nicobar. This paper records 52 Lesser Known Timber Trees of these Islands. Tropical forests, the centres of biodiversity and the cradle of evolution, have been the worst affected. They were being destroyed at the rate of 100,000 km2 every year. Most of the species in Andaman & Nicobar Islands are poorly known not only taxonomically but also from economic point of view. The vegetation of these islands are the only last bit of tropical evergreen Malesian available within territory with great use for future generation. It is also clinging on a very delicate balance in the face of grave threat from encroaching civilized man. In order to protect and preserve them for posterity, it is strongly recommended for immediate implementation that steps to be taken to establish a Arboretum of tropical region near Port Blair where rare, endemic and endangered species can be conserved and propagated, for that Rutland Island is quite ideal.Keywords

Andaman & Nicobar Islands is the largest archipelago system consisting of cover 200 islands, over 300 inlets and constitute one of the hotspot of biodiversity. It is separated from mainland India by almost 1,000 km. These are 3,552 plant species are known from these Islands. As regards bamboos not much work has been done because most of the areas are unexplored. The present authors have made extensive collection of bamboos of both Andaman and Nicobar group. There are 20 species wild and planted are reported from the islands. There is high degree of endemism in these islands. Six species viz. Dinochloa nicobarica, D. scandens var. andamanica (Bel bamboo), Schizostachyum andamanicum, S. kalpongianum, S. kurzii and S. rogersii are endemic the these islands. Dendrocalamus calostachys, Schizostachyum dullooa and S. polymorphum are now being reported from the wild for the first time. Rest all the species except Gigantochloa andamanica (Chatai bamboo) are under cultivation. There is a great demand for ballies or non-commercial timber in these Islands. Therefore bamboo can substitute the requirement of ballies, also can reduce the pressure on the forest.Keywords

The Garhwal Himalayas are one of the richest floristic zones for the medicinal plants of Indian subcontinent. It provides matchless wealth of more than 300 rare and endangered species of medicinal plants having therapeutic properties. The over exploitation of these precious material from himalayan forest ecosytstem over last few decades have not only pushed these towards extinction but also enhanced the problem of soil erosion, land degradation and loss of biodiversity in the area. Introduction of nitrogen fixing plants may provide an important tool for the ecorestoration attempts in this area. Advocating nitrogen fixing plants having medicinal uses may provide wider acceptability among the local populace from economic as well as soil conservation point of view. The adoptability of indigenous species may be useful for planting and rejuvenating the degraded sites in different altitudinal zones of the Himalayan ecosystem. In the present article an attempt has been made to enumerate the existing nitrogen fixing species of medicinal values at various altitude for the conservation of degraded sites in Garhwal Himalayas.- Populus gamblei Dode - a Tree New to Nagaland, India

Populus gamblei Dude a southern-most Poplar tree in the Northern Hemisphere, endemic to India from Darjeeling hills, North Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, has now been reported from wild for the first time from Nagaland. A tree of about 15 m high and girth of 3.2 m has also been measured in Nagaland. About 40 small or medium sized trees were also located in the area. Twenty four hours dip treatment of branch cutting in aqueous solution of 200 hours ppm concentration of Indole Acetic gives 70% roo.ting. It is used by local people of Nagaland for construction temporary huts in shifting cultivated areas. In Kalimpong hills, West Bengal it is locally called 'Sungrikong' (Lepcha) and 'Pipalpati' or 'Pipile' (Nepalese).- Vegetation Analysis of Mangrove Forest of Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary , Andhra Pradesh , India

Seabuckthorn (Hippophae spp.) belongs to family Elaeagnaceae. It grows in the forest areas of Mountains from Hindu Kush - Himalayan region , adjoining area's of China and parts of Europe. There are three species of genus Hippophae distributed in the Himalayan part of India. Seabuckthorn forests are supposed to be a store house of nutrients and many items like jams , soft drinks , sauces , pickle , jelly and biscuits are made from it. Its fruits are good source of vitamins. Apart from this , it is used as firewood , fencing soil conservation. In India , the Field Research Laboratory , Leh has developed few products from it like Jam , squash , sauces , pickles etc. Squash produced by them does not freeze up to -22°C. Suitable products from Hippophae salicifolia can raise the economic status of the people of Uttaranchal.- Gregarious Flowering of Thamnocalamus spathiflorus and T. falconeri, Bamboos from Uttaranchal, India

Paper reports on a detailed vegetational analysis of Tirumala Hills forest, Andhra Pradesh. The seven hills are of great tourist and religious importance as the holy shrine of Lord Venkateswara. More that 50,000 people flock to the shrine daily for darshan of the deity. Floristically these hills are very rich. Interesting to mention here the occurrence of seven endemic species viz., Cycas beddζmei, Shorea tumbuggaia, Boswellia ovalifoliolata, Pterocarpus santalinus, Terminalia pallida, Syzygium alternifolium and Pimpinella tirupatensis. Study was conducted in the year 2002, and the vegetation was sampled through random sampling method. The result presented in four groups. In Group 1: Hardwickia binata and Pterocarpus santalinus were main dominating species having density of 183 trees/ha and 133 trees/ha. The total trees, saplings and seedlings density of the whole stand was 667 trees/ha, 2167 saplings/ ha and 483 seedlings/ha, respectively. In Group II the structure of the tree component consisted 27 species of over 10 cm dbh. The trees, sapling and seedlings density of the whole stand was 551, 1274 and 980 individuals/ha respectively. In Group III The community consisted 40 species of which two, Ehretia laevis and Pterocarpus santalinus were dominant species. The total sapling and seedling density was 1087 and 847 individuals/ha. Group IV comprised mainly exotic speceis with 18 tree in which Anacardium occidentale, Grevillea robusta and Peltophorum ferrugineum were the dominant species.- Nomenclature and Gregarious Flowering of Hill Bamboo Sinarundinaria falcata (Nees) Chao & Renv.

The Delhi Ridge is a green patch of land considered the "Breathing lung" or "Green lung" of Delhi. Total area of the Ridge is approximately 7,782 ha, which is about 0.6% of Delhi's total geographical area. The area of the Ridge is divided into four zones viz. North Ridge, Central or New Delhi Ridge, South Central Ridge and Southern Ridge with includes the Asola - Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary. Regarding the flora of Ridge, Maheshwari published the flora of Delhi and included 531 plant species. From the part of Ridge he included 188 plant species. Almost 40 years have passed and no revisionary work on the floristics of Delhi is available except a few sporadic papers. Under a project "Vegetational Survey and Inventorisation of species in the Ridge Forest Delhi" quantitative and qualitative studies of plant were conducted and total 414 species were reported only from the area of the Ridge. Most remarkably, 37 plant species are now being reported for the first time from Delhi- Notes on the Occurrence of Bamboo, Gigantochloa albociliata (Munro) Kurz, from Bastar, Chattisgarh, India

Earlier due to non-availability of sufficient material for correct identity some Bamboo species were creating nomenclatural problems. The present paper is an attempt to rectify the confusion as follows: (i) Bambusa auriculata Kurz flowered in Calcutta Botanic Garden in January 1898. A critical examination of its culm sheath and flowers it was found conspecific to Gigantochloa andamanica (Kurz) Kurz. (ii) Gigantochloa microstachya. Kurz is a mixture of two different species, its culm sheath belong to Bambusa tulda and its allies, while inflorescence is of proper G. macrostachya. Culm sheath sensu Gamble (1896) kept under Bambusa affinis non Munro now belong to G. macrostachya. Gigantochloa rostrata Wong a Malayan species also identical to G. macrostachya which is at present merged under G. macrostachya. Present studies indicate that G. macrostachya is so far known only from Myanmar and Malaya. (iii)Dinochloa maclellandii growing in the Arboretum of Forest Research institute Dehra Dun. Its vegetative parts, flowers and fruits were studied and found them identical to genus Melocalamus. Thus a new combination viz. Melocalamus maclellandii(Munro) Naithani has been proposed.- On the Rediscovery of a Rare Endemic Grass Pseudodanthonia himalaica

The chances of nitrogenous fertilizer use in various afforestation programmes are very bleak in the near future. The only alternative is to select such species which can meet their nitrogen requirements from soil as well as atmosphere. An attempt has been made in the present study to identify some of the nitrogen fixing herb, shrub and tree species from inner and outer Himalaya region, so that these species can be recommended for the afforestation programmes to a particular area. Out of ninety five species recorded, most of them belong to family leguminosae except Alnus nepalensis and Myrica esculenta non-leguminous.- Dendrocalamus somdevai : a New Species of Bamboo from Uttar Pradesh, India

The vegetation of the Bhyunder Valley in the Nanda Devi National Park, situated in the Garhwal Himalaya, is unique and abounding in biological diversity. Proper cataloguing of species diversity is important from the point of view of evolving strategies for the conservation of rare and endangered species. Earlier attempts at listing of species suffer from some glaring omissions which have been highlighted in this paper. A wide variety of herbs which presented a marvel of nature's landscaping when in flowering during the period of summer rains and which attracted trackers from all over the world have dwindled considerably in racent years. The authors trace this to the banning of grazing in the valley which has led to overdominance of some faster growing, and taller species resulting in the suppression of a number of less aggressive species. An attempt has been made to underline some factors which might have been responsible for decline in floral diversity.- Crotalaria psoralioides - a New Record for North-west Himalaya

Melocalamus compactiflorus is a handsome bamboo characterised by its c1imbing habit and large fleshy seeds. Commonly distributed in Bangladesh, Burma and Yunnan (China). It is known from the wild in India only from Cachar (Assam). It was erroneously transferred to the Dinochloa by McClure in 1937. After examining the authentic material this mistake has been rectified; some misidentifications have also been corrected. Although published records of the flowering of this bamboo from Burma are available, such a record from India was so far lacking. A population of this bamboo at F.R.I., Dehra Dun flowered in late 1980 which now forms the basis of this record. As per the available data the flowering cycle in this species seems to vary between 7 and 47 years. Shoes/sandals are made of the outer green fibrous layers of the culms of this climbing bamboo.- Schefflera hoi (Dunn) Viguier (Araliaceae)-a Tree New to India

The paper presents observations made on extended distribution of 31 new and rare/endemic taxa of the north-eastern region of India during the course of the last few decades. New taxa here signify those species and varieties which have been described after the publication of Hooker's Flora of British India. In most cases these taxa were known only by their type collections until they have been collected recently from outside their type localities, invariably from Arunachal Pradesh. These are: Agapetes similis, Albizia gamblei, Beilschmiedia pseudo-micropora, Crotalaria bhutanica, Dalbergia c1arkei, Dicentra paucinervia. Diospyrus cacharensis, Dysoxylum reticulatum, Gaultheria seshagiriana, Gomphogyne macrocarpa, Gymnocladus assamicus, Hydrocotyle himalaica, Indofevillea khasiana, Luculia grandfolia, Mitrephora harae, Paris polyphylla var. appendiculata, Phyllostachys assamica, Pinus bhutanica, Populus gamblei, Primula bhutanica, P. irregularis. P. scapigera, Rhodermachera siniea, Rhododendron dalhousiae var. Rhabdotum, Rhynchoglossum lazulinum, Salacia khasiona, Salix bhutanersis, Senedo baril, Spermacoce latifolia, Symplocos glauca and Syzygium assamicum. Besides, 3 new rare tree species viz. Albizia arunachalensis, Lithocarpus kamengensis and Rhudodendron tawangensis, which have recently been described from Arunachal Pradesh, are also highlighted. About 50% of these taxa have been collected after a lapse of 30 years or more. This fact as well as the other information contained in the paper given indication of the extent of rarity of these plants and would therefore help in taking measure to conserve them if necessary.- Lithocarpus kamengii, a New Species from Arunachal Pradesh

In Sukhna Wildlife Sanctuary, Chandigarh the enumeration of vegetation was conducted during 2005 at five different sites, i.e. Lattwala, Bolianwala, Miyapur Ka Khet, Barotawala khet and Kansal. The results revealed that five sites yielded a total of 2720 stems and 25 species of trees ≥ 30 cm cbh with different combination of dominant and co-dominant species. Acacia catechu was dominant at Lattwala, Bolianwala and Kansal sites, Acacia nilotica ssp. indica at Miyapur Ka Ket and Dalbergia sissoo at the Barotwala site. The total tree basal area among the five sites ranged from 7.28 to 26.50 m2 ha and total density varied from 280 to 1020 stems/ha. Carissa opaca and Murraya koenigii were the common shrub species in all the sites. The density of shrub layer among the sites varied from 3.0 to 2 13.05 stems/9m2. Remarkable difference was observed in the composition of herbaceous flora including grasses. Both herb and grass species among the sites varied from 7 to 64 and 1- 26, respectively. The density value oscillated between 7.90 and 69.10 stems/m2 for herbs and 0.22 and 146.93 2 tillers/m2 for grasses. The diversity indices suggest that the Kansal site had greater diversity in all stratums except sapling layer.Keywords

Within the limits of the Flora, Brit. Ind. Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn. (Compositae) has been recorded from West Punjab, Hazara, Peshawar, Jammu and Kashmir. Afterwards, it has occasionally been collected from Chamba and Kulu. Recently it has been found to be naturalising in the Doon Valley on few localised spots. Its sporadic occurrence abruptly in Dehra Dun has been attributed to the possibility of its seeds having accompanied the immigrants from West Punjab, etc., who have settled around the place where it is now spreading. There is similar instance of Lepidium perfoliatum L. recorded before, where the plant, otherwise native of Afghanistan and Baluchistan has been suddenly found growing in Dehra Dun.- Dimeria fuscescens Trin. - a Grass New to Western India

Parthenium hysterophorus Linn., a Compositae, native of the southern United States, was for the first time reported from India in 1956, growing as stray plants in waste places in Poona. Within a decade it had spread so far and wide in the plains that it became an obnoxious weed in Delhi, posing problems of its eradication. Simultaneously it spread southwards in the peninsular region also. It has now spread in the hills and is reported from the Kulu Valley. Its possible uses as a medicinal plant are discussed.- Cotula australis (Sieb. ex Spreng.) Hook. f. - a New Record for the North-western and Eastern Himalayas

Cotula australis (Sieb. ex Spreng.) Hook. f., a Compositae, native of Australia and New Zealand, hitherto recorded from the South Indian hill stations only is now reported to be naturalizing wet places in the Himalayas, presently in Kulu, Simla and Darjeeling. It appears to be a recent introduction in the Himalayan region, possibly, having come as an admixture with the imported foodgrains or even through sheep imported as breeding stock from Australia.- cuscuta santapaui Banerji & Das - a New Record for India

The new species Cuscuta santapaui Banerji & Das has hitherto been reported from Eastern Nepal only. Careful re-evaluation of the specimens deposited in the Dehra Dun Herbarium (F.R.I.) however, revealed that this species occurs in Dehra Dun and Kashmir also, thus extending its distribution to the farthest limit of the Himalayas in the west and establishing it as a 'new record for India'.- Additions to the Cyperaceae of Madhya Pradesh

Solanum hovei Dunal (Solanaceae) a rare woody shrub endemic to North Western India has so far been known from its type collection from Dolca, sabermatty (Gujarat State) collected by A.P. Hove in the year 1819. Dunal 1852 described Hove's specimen as Solanum hovei Dunal. After 1852 this species has not been described in any Indian Flora viz., Clarke, 1883 and has not been reported from any where in India. This is now being reported for the first time during recent collections in Goa, during the coarse of our work on the preparation of Forest Flora of Goa. It is interesting and important to note that no authentic specimen of this taxon was available in Indian Herbaria till the confirmation of the present F.R.I. collection from British Museum, London. Its dispersal is attributed through migrant birds. Measures for conservation of this rare endemic are given.- Further Note on the Gregarious Flowering of Aechmanthera gossypina in Uttarakhand Himalayas

Indopiptadenia oudhensis is monotypic, endemic species to western Himalaya and endangered throughout the region. Phyto-sociological analysis of the trees, shrubs and herbs in Champawat Forest Division, Uttarakhand was done and density, diversity index, Importance Value Index etc. were determined for the sites. Higher number of individuals in lower girth classes indicate good regeneration status in the study area.Keywords

A detailed study of the composition of vegetation in the Asola-Bhati sanctuary of NCT of Delhi was done during 2001 to 2003 and 2010 to know the density, richness and regeneration of tree species along with the shrubs, herbs, climbers, grasses and sedges. The results are striking and revealed that the quarry pits of Bhati mines holds the rich wealth of plants,as the area encompassing 16 tree species, 12 shrub species, 37 herb species, 9 climbers, 18 grass species, 3 sedge species and a bryophyte after a fellow period of 19 years since 1991 - 1992 before that was known for excessive mining for building making materials (Badarpur). Wrightia arborea a tree is reported for the first time from NCT Delhi. The quantification of vegetation revealed good density and frequency which is at par to the other similar forests over the globe. The present study will be a base line data for future study of Delhi.Keywords

Strobilanthes tomentosa (syn. Aechmenthera tomentosa, A.gossypina) has a gregarious flowering cycle of 12 years. It has many flowering records from Uttarakhand Himalaya and last flowered in 2011. During its gregarious flowering in Chaudans Uttarakhand, the famous 'Kangdali festival' starts every 12 years in the month of October after Dusshera festival. The production of honey increases during this period. In October 2015 Strobilanthes tomentosa called 'Jah Khei'and 'Lakhi' gregariously flowered at Meghalaya. This is its first gregarious flowering record from Northeast India.Keywords
