Altafhusain Nadaf, Rahul Zanan Indian - an overview

The species key, and coloured photographs and illustrations are used for quick and reliable identification of species The most recent morphological and cpDNA sequences are used to describe the phylogenetic relationship among Pandanus species IUCN Red List Criteria for the conservation of Indian Pandanus species are described in detail A comparative account of the various species world over is also presented Indian screw pine family Pandanaceae represents three genera, in which Pandanus and Benstonea are distributed in two hotspots in India – the Western Ghats and the Northeast Himalayan region. For the first time, Indian Pandanaceae has been assessed for its taxonomic 2012, XV, 163 p. status and phylogenetic relationship. The extensive survey by the authors led to the discovery of three new Pandanus species (two from the Western Ghats and one from the Northeast Printed book Himalaya). The present taxonomic revision confirmed total number of Pandanus species to 14 Hardcover that are distributed in the Southern India (9 species) and Northeast Himalayan region (5 species). Genus Benstonea is represented by two species, one from Southern India and 149,99 € | £129.99 | $179.99 [1]160,49 € (D) | 164,99 € (A) | CHF another species common to both regions. A detailed species identification key is given along 177,00 with conservation status of each species following IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (2001). The study revealed that, out of 16 Pandanus and Benstonea species, six species are Softcover under threatened categories.
