Box: 3708 ISBN: 978-9937-0-1223-2 Published by: National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories (NHPL) Godawari-5, Lalitpur Nepal www.kath.gov.np FOREWORD The National Herbarium and Plant Laboratories (NHPL) has been engaged in the country wide plant exploration, description, identification, nomenclature and publication (in the form of Keys, Enumerations, Regional and Local Floras, and Fascicles) since its establishment in 1961. Additionally, it is the national pioneer institute to develop plant tissue culture protocols with sand rooting technology since 1976. It serves as a ‘National Reference Centre’ on scientific identification of plants that supports researchers, students and traders for both academic and judicial process. The National Herbarium has been listed and recognized internationally as KATH Herbarium in Index Herbariorum (IH) which is published by New York Botanical Garden, USA. Moreover, the NHPL is one of the members of Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) Steering Committee Nepal, 2007. Long term research and knowledge generation is a vital element of biodiversity conservation initiatives. In this regard, one of the priority actions of the ‘Nepal National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan: 2014- 2020’ aims to develop knowledge generation through ‘Flora of Nepal’ publication by 2020. So, it is time to plan and implement on Human Resources Development and Management through capacity building and motivation along with modern infrastructures facilities. It is my pleasure to publish the ‘Annual Progress Report’ for information dissemination as means of communication and transparency. I believe it will provide additional background for effective planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation in the coming fiscal year. In this connection, I would like to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Rajdev Prasad Yadav, Director General of the Department of Plant Resources (DPR), Kathmandu for guiding and supporting the program. I would like to thank to the researchers who provided the herbarium specimens to enrich the KATH and hope this number will increase in coming days. I would like to appreciate Assistant Research Officers namely Mr. Ganga Datt Bhatt, Mr. Tirtha Raj Pandey and Mr. Dhan Raj Kandel for presenting the report on time. Similarly, I would like to thank to the chief of all sections (Hem Raj Paudel, Lilaram Tharu, Rita Chhetri, Gaurav Parmar, Rajendra Acharya, Amrit KC, Krishna Dahal and Yaksha Kumar Basnet) and all the staff of the NHPL for hard work to fulfill the program targets. Finally, I will be grateful for your valuable feedbacks for the future improvement. Thank you!

  • Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam
    Taiwania, 48(3): 139-146, 2003 Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam Paul Ormerod(1) (Manuscript received 17 April, 2003; accepted 6 May, 2003) ABSTRACT: Literature and herbarium studies of Chinese and Vietnamese orchids have revealed a variety of new and noteworthy data pertinent to the floras of China and Vietnam. Three new combinations are proposed, viz, Bhutanthera humidicola, Odontochilus saprophyticus and Peristylus garrettii. Three new species are proposed, viz. Epigeneium mimicum, Podochilus banaensis and P. oxystophylloides. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Additions, China, Vietnam. The present paper is mainly the result of herbarium and literature studies made at the Harvard University Herbaria (A, AMES, GH). Most of the Chinese materials examined were collected in the 1930’s, an era that was one of the high points of Sino-American botanical cooperation in the twentieth century. Vietnamese specimens on the other hand are poorly represented at Harvard and these mostly consist of duplicates made by French collectors, a small collection made by Chinese collectors in North Vietnam and an important set formed by Joseph and Mary Strong Clemens during their visit to South Vietnam in 1927.

E-mail: [email protected] The main phytogeographic regions within the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula are delimited on the basis of analysis of recent literature on geology, geomorphology and climatology of the region, as well as numerous recent literature information on phytogeography, flora and vegetation. The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1. Background The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, comprising the largest area in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula, is situated along the southeastern margin of the Peninsula.

  • Total Evidence Phylogeny of Coelogyne and Allied Genera (Coelogyninae, Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae) Based on Morphological, Anatomical and Molecular Characters
    B. Gravendeel & E.F. de Vogel: Phylogeny of Coelogyne and allied genera 35 Chapter 3 TOTAL EVIDENCE PHYLOGENY OF COELOGYNE AND ALLIED GENERA (COELOGYNINAE, EPIDENDROIDEAE, ORCHIDACEAE) BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL, ANATOMICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERS B. GRAVENDEEL & E.F. DE VOGEL Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, P.O. Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands SUMMARY A phylogenetic analysis of subtribe Coelogyninae (Epidendroideae, Orchidaceae) is performed based on 41 macromorphological and 4 anatomical characters scored from 43 taxa in Coelogyninae (27 Coelogyne species and 13 representatives of other genera) and three outgroups from Bletiinae and Thuniinae. The results from this analysis are analysed together with an earlier constructed molecular data set for the same species. All datasets confirm the monophyly of the Coelogyninae. Coelogyne appears to be polyphyletic, with species falling in at least two different clades. Key characters for generic and sectional delimitation were mapped on the total evidence tree and a comparison of their states within the various groups in Coelogyninae is used for a discussion of evolutionary polarity. Trichome type, presence of stegmata, inflorescence type, number of flowers per inflorescence, persistence of floral bracts, presence of sterile bracts on the rhachis, ovary indu- mentum, petal shape, presence and shape of lateral lobes of hypochile, number of keels on the epichile and presence of a fimbriate margin on the epichile appear to be good characters for defining major clades in Coelogyninae. The number of leaves per pseudobulb, size of the flowers, shape of the lip base and petals and presence of stelidia and calli show many reversals. The total evidence phylogeny is compared with traditional classifications of Coelogyne and Coelogyninae.

  • Flowering Plants of Sikkim- an Analysis
    FLOWERING PLANTS OF SIKKIM- AN ANALYSIS Paramjit Singh and M. Sanjappa ABSTRACT ikkim is one of the biodiversity rich states of our country. The present paper analyses the flowering plant diversity of the state with some indicative figures of dominant genera like Bulbophyllum, Calanthe, Coelogyne, SCymbidium, Dendrobium, Gentiana, Juncus, Pedicularis, Primula, Rhododendron and Swertia recorded from the region. Nearly 165 species have been named after the state, as they were first collected from the state or plants were known to occur in Sikkim. Some of the representative endemic species of the state have also been listed. One hundred ninety seven families, 1371 genera have been appended with indicative number of species of each genus known to occur in Sikkim. In all more than 4450 species of flowering plants recorded so far. KEYWORDS: Diversity, Dominant genera, Endemics, Families, Flowering Plants, Sikkim Waldheimia glabra in Lhonak, North Sikkim 65 Middle storey of Rhododendron in Conifer forests INTRODUCTION ikkim, the second smallest state of India having an area of around 7096 sq. km is known as the paradise of naturalists. It is a thumb shaped hilly region with Nepal in the west, Bhutan in the east and Tibet in the north and Snorth-east. In the south it is bordered by Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The mountain chains which run southward from the main Himalayan ranges form the natural border of Sikkim; the Chola Range dividing it from Tibet in the north east and Bhutan in the south-east; the Singalila range likewise separating it from Nepal in the west. Mountain passes along these ranges over the years have sustained a two way traffic of traders, pilgrims, and adventurers from Tibet and Central Asia.
