A total of 330 species of woody plants were recorded from the university campus of which 312 woody species belonging to 184 genera and 55 families were represented by the Angiosperms while 18 woody species belonging to 8 genera and 5 families were represented by the Gymnosperms. The Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceous and Apocynaceae were the dominant families of the woody species composition of university campus. The exotic woody species were greater in number compared to native woody species on the Banaras Hindu University main campus. Keywords: Banaras Hindu University, exotic woody species, native woody species, woody plants, Varanasi district INTRODUCTION The great seat of learning Banaras Hindu University was founded by great freedom fighter and social reformer Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya (1861-1946) during the Indian freedom movement as a national university with donation from both rich and poor. The foundation stone of this great university was laid by Lord Hardinge on 4 February 1916, the then Governor General of British ruled India. This vast university presently has two campuses, 4 institutes, 16 faculties, 140 departments, 4 advanced centers and 4 interdisciplinary centers and a constituent college for women and 3 constituent schools.

  • Hawkes CV (2004) Effects of Biological Soil Crusts on Seed Germination of Four Endangered Herbs in a Xeric Florida Shrubland During Drought
    Hawkes CV (2004) Effects of biological soil crusts on seed germination of four endangered herbs in a xeric Florida shrubland during drought. Plant Ecol 170:121- 134 In a south-central Florida rosemary shrubland, the effects of biological soil crusts on the germination of four small-seeded herbs (Eryngium cuneifolium, Hypericum cumulicola, Paronychia chartacea, and Polygonella basiramia) were studied using a series of greenhouse and field experiments. This study sought to determine propitious environmental conditions for the continued survival of these four federally endangered species and further develop our limited understanding of the effects of biological soil crusts on the germination of vascular plants. In the greenhouse experiment, three of the four species (Eryngium cuneifolium, Hypericum cumulicola, and Paronychia chartacea) showed significantly greater germination in pots with crust left intact than in pots with destroyed, or autoclaved crust. The other species (Polygonella basiramia) showed no significant difference in germination between the two treatments. In the field experiment, plots were established in which resident soil crusts were either left intact, flamed, or mechanically disturbed. To investigate the effects of time since fire and distance to dominant shrub (Florida rosemary, Ceratiola ericoides), plots were set-up in three ages of postfire and two distances from the dominant shrub (away and near). Seeds of all four species were disseminated in field plots and checked monthly for germination. One species, Hypericum cumulicola, showed significant levels of increased germination in plots with crust as opposed to burned or disturbed plots. Germination was low for all four herbs and each species showed a unique response to effects of soil crust disturbance, time since fire, and distance to C.

  • Outplanting of the Endangered Pondberry
    OUTPLANTING OF THE ENDANGERED PONDBERRY Margaret S. Devall, Nathan M. Schiff, and Stephanie A. Skojac1 Abstract—Pondberry [Lindera melissifolia (Walt) Blume, Lauraceae] is an endangered shrub that occurs in seasonally flooded wetlands in the Southeastern United States. We established new pondberry populations as an aid in conserving the species, whose distribution and abundance have been affected by habitat destruction and alteration. We dug equal numbers of young male and female pondberry stems from a natural population, planted them in pots, and translocated them to five protected locations in the field. After 1 year, 69 percent of the plants survived, with male and female plants surviving equally well. More than 90 percent of the surviving plants had stems that increased in height, although the height of the tallest stems decreased. Many of the plants produced new stems, but some older stems died during the year. Most of the present pondberry habitat is surrounded by agricultural fields, which significantly limits dispersal. This study shows that pondberry can be successfully outplanted, in efforts to assure survival of the species. INTRODUCTION Pondberry is dioecious, with small yellow flowers that bloom Pondberry [Lindera melissifolia (Walt) Blume, Lauraceae] is in spring.

    Volume 25: Number 2 > Spring 2008 PalmettoThe Quarterly Journal of the Florida Native Plant Society Sedges G Saving Florida’s Most Endangered Plants G Native or Not Florida’s Endangered and Threatened Plant Conservation Grants Program Saving Florida’s Rarest P As Florida’s human population continues to grow, so does the threat to some of our most unique and vulnerable residents. Hundreds of Florida’s native plants are imperiled by residential and commercial development, habitat degradation, and the impact of exotic species. The state’s Endangered and Threatened Plant Conservation Grants Program was designed to address the recovery needs of Florida’s unique flora and the habitats that sustain it. In the last seven years, over 20% of the state’s imperiled plant species have benefited from this exemplary funding program. Florida’s Regulated Plant Index contains 542 plant species, including 421 endangered (E), 113 threatened (T), and eight commercially exploited species. Because only 55 of these plants are also protected by the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA; 1973), almost 90% of Florida’s rarest and most imperiled plants are offered no federal protection. State-listed species not covered by the ESA range from the Keys to the Panhandle and include rare tropical trees, pine rockland herbs, Appalachian Ice Age refugees, and many species narrowly endemic to Florida. Examples include species reduced to single wild populations in the state, such as young palm orchid (Tropidia polystachya), shrub verbena (Lantana canescens), and coral hoary pea (Tephrosia angustissima var. corallicola), and species that fail to recruit seedlings in the wild, such as Florida ziziphus (Ziziphus celata) and Florida torreya (Torreya taxifolia).

Without human intervention, many of these plants may be gone within our lifetime. Eighty percent of the at-risk species are closely related to plants with economic value somewhere in the world, and more than 50 percent are related to crop species...but it can be saved.” – Center for Plant Conservation Ask the average Florida citizen to name at least one endangered native animal in the state and they will likely mention the Florida manatee or the Florida panther. Ask the same person to name one endangered native plant and they give you a blank stare. Those of us working to conserve Florida’s unique plant species know this all 2 too well, and if the job isn’t diffi cult enough, a lack of funding and support for the conservation of land supporting imperiled plant communities makes it harder. Bok Tower Gardens Rare Plant Conservation Program is one of 39 botanical institutions throughout the United States that collaborate with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC) to prevent the extinction of native plants in the United States. Created in 1984, CPC institutions house over 750 living specimens of the nation’s most endangered native plants, the largest living collection of rare plants in the world.

The species has Critical Habitat: None Designated Wan extremely limited distribution, covering a Florida Status: Endangered north-south distance of about 80.5 km along the northern portion of the Lake Wales Ridge. In the South Florida Recovery Plan Status: Contribution (May 1999) Ecosystem, Warea amplexifolia is known to persist at only Geographic Coverage: South Florida two sites in Polk County and one in Osceola County. Warea amplexifolia is endemic to high pine (sandhill) habitat, which has been greatly reduced by conversion of natural Figure 1. County distribution of wide-leaf warea. habitat to citrus groves, residential and commercial development, sand mining, and the lack of proper fire management in the remaining natural habitats. This account represents South Floridas contribution to the existing recovery plan for the wide-leaf warea (FWS 1993). Description Warea amplexifolia is an annual herb in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). Plants may be 30 to 100 cm tall and the stalk may be unbranched or, more often, branching mid- way up the stem. Leaves are alternate, from 2 to 5 cm long, and 1 to 3 cm wide, smaller as they ascend the stalk, with a rounded apex and entire margin. On young plants, the leaves are slightly folded along the midrib, tipped upward, and the lobes at the base of leaves reach around the stem. This characteristic has led to one of the common names for the species, clasping warea.
