An ecologically annotated inventory of the species growing in different habitats in the coastal belt of Midnapore District, West Bengal is presented. This list includes 156 species belonging to 120 genera and 55 families. It has a few members which are not reported from the gangelic Sundriban area or Orissa coast and includes a large number of local plants chiefty represented by agrestals/ruderals.- An Ecological Approach towards Classification of Coastal Vegetation of India.- 1.

The ecology of the Indian coastal vegetation which is not only of great theoretical but also of practical interest has hitherto been insufficiently known. Champion and Seth (1968) dealt this vegetation type in a concise manner under the group, 'Littoral and Tidal swamp forests of India'. During the last 12 years, extensive data have been collected on the physiographic, floristic and edaphic aspects, and based on these, an attempt is now made to analyse and to reclassify the Indian coastal vegetation in greater detail, but adhering to the original frame work given by Champion and Seth 1968. In the present paper, the coastal vegetation type has heen further sub-divided into three types: Sand strand, Rock strand and Coral strand. Under each type, the salient features such as distribution, topography, floriotics and edaphic characters pertinent to each type have been discussed at length with suitable summary diagrams based on relative cover value of plants from quadrats and the analytical data.- Ecological Studies on the Coastal Sand Dunes and Slacks in the Vicinity of Digha, Midnapore District, West Bengal

An ecological account of the vegetation and soils of the coastal dunes and slacks, is presented. The floristic and soil data are recorded in term of habitat types, recognised by their topography, edaphic conditions and the associated flora. A few plant grouping were observed to form a graded continuum from summit to mid-slope but no one of them reoccur in swale, indicating thereby the prevailing influence of the physiographic conditions on the plant colonisation trend.- An Ecological Approach Towards Classification of Coastal Vegetation of India II.

Studies on the Indian estuarine border vegetation have gained a steady importance in the recent years and considerable valuable data have been gathered especially with regard to floristic, edaphic and ecological aspects by various worhers and in particular by the Ecoloay Unit in the Botanical Survey of India, which is engaged in ecological studies on Indian coastal vegetation for the last 13 years. Based on this knowledge, an attempt is now made to analyse and reclassify the Tidal swamp forests is greater detail but adhering to the original framework of Champion and Seth (1968). In the present paper, this vegetational type has been sub-divided into two types: Euestuarine and Prostuarine; and the Prostuarine complex type has been further sub-divided into three sub-types: Tidal Mangrove, Euhyaline and Probyline Under each type and their sub-types the salient fetures such as plant groupings, topography, indicator plants and edaphic characteristics have been discussed.- A Contribution to the Coastal Flora and Vegetation of Tamil Nadu (India)

In this paper, an account on the components of the coastal flora and vegetational mosaic in a graded sequence largely influenced by textural affinity, soil reaction, calcium carbonate content and salinity tolerance has been recorded. A total of 192 taxa with succinct field notes and specificity of plants for different habitats has been enumerated.- An Ecological Study on the Strand Vegetation of the Orissa Coast

The vegetation pattern and corresponding analytical data on soils along the sandy shores of Orissa coast have been studied. The present study shows that this area is divisible into three apparent zones. Furthermore, it is certain, that each zone exhibits gradation in the substratum which is reflected in the variations of its floristic composition.- An Imperfectly Known Endemic Taxon of Kumaon Himalayas-Falconeria himalaica Hook.

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.- A further Contribution to the Flora of Jammu and Kashmir State

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.- Observations on the Vegetation of Eastern Kumaon Bordering the Nepal Frontier

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.- Ecological Studies of Saurashtra Coast and Neighbouring Islands. V.

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.- Structure and Taxonomic Significance of Leaf Veinlets of the Rutaceae 1. Acronychia J. R. & G. Forst

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.- Atypical Viviparous Condition in Bruguiera cylindrica (L.) BL. (Rhizophoraceae)
