Its geographical area is 443.4 thousand sq km which is nearly 13.5% of the geographical area of the country. It is centrally located and occupied the heart of the country. The state is bordered by seven states viz. Utter Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharastra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. (Map 1) Madhya Pradesh is situated in the centre between lattitude 170-48'N to 280-52' N and between longitudes 740-0' E to 840-24' E. Undulating topography characterized by low hills, narrow valleys, well defined plateau and plains is the general physiography of the tract which separates the fertile Gangetic plains of Utter Pradesh in the north from the broad table land of Deccan in the south. The elevation varies from over 61 m to 1438m above mean see level. The major protion of the Catchments of many important rivers like the Narmada, the Mahanadi, the Tapti, Wainganga, the Son, the Chan hal and the Manvi lie in Madhya Pradesh. The forests occupy an area of 155.414 sq km which comes to about 35% of the total land area of the state and about 22% at the total forest area of the country, these forests are not evenly distributed in the state.

Diameter Shaft and Fans Installation Environmental Risk Assessment ACOL 5.5m. Diameter Shaft and Fans Installation Environmental Risk Assessment 1 PURPOSE & SCOPE The purpose of the risk assessment is to identify the risks, and the controls required to be put in place, to enable the installation of a 5.5m diameter upcast ventilation shaft, fans and associated infrastructure. The scope was limited to environmental and community risks, applicable to the built and natural environment (onsite and offsite), and including public safety (but not ACOL OHS risk or operational asset damage). 2 BACKGROUND ACOL proposes to construct a new 5.5 metre diameter upcast ventilation shaft and install associated extraction fans and ancillary surface infrastructure. This project enables the establishment of sufficient ventilation capacity for the ACOL to safely continue mining operations for a further 12 to 14 years. The proposed site for the planned new main ventilation shaft and fans is located on ACOL owned property, on the surface above the start of longwall block one. The total mine airflow quantity provided by the existing two main fans and backroad supplementary fan combination is estimated to be limited to a maximum of 190m3/s. However, expert consultation has confirmed a requirement to upgrade the mine’s ventilation system to provide between 290m3/s and 365m3/s total volumetric capacity, to safely meet future demands.

  • Hunter-Central Rivers, New South Wales
    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Guide to Users Background What is the summary for and where does it come from? This summary has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. It highlights important elements of the biodiversity of the region in two ways: • Listing species which may be significant for management because they are found only in the region, mainly in the region, or they have a conservation status such as endangered or vulnerable. • Comparing the region to other parts of Australia in terms of the composition and distribution of its species, to suggest components of its biodiversity which may be nationally significant. The summary was produced using the Australian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. The list of families covered in ANHAT is shown in Appendix 1. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are are not not included included in the in the summary. • The data used for this summary come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

The main intent of the present study is to gather complete information about the diversity of medicinal plants found in Sihawa Gram Panchayat (GP) of the Dhamtari district. Sihawa GP has a hilly terrain, a wild enclosure that is suited to the diversity of medicinal plants. In this study, the medicinal plants found there are listed along with their scientific name, local name, family, habit, parts used, and related traditional knowledge as told by the local tribes living there. Total 71 medicinal plant species with 60 genera distributed among 38 families were identified, following taxonomic literature and standard methods. Fabaceae family registered as the largest family with 13 species (18%). The tree showed their maximum presence with 46% and followed by herb 25%, shrub 23%, and a minimum of 6% climbers (4 species).

  • Biosystematic Studies on Commelinaceae (Commelinales) I
    ISSN 1346-7565 Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 68 (3): 193–198 (2017) doi: 10.18942/apg.201710 Biosystematic Studies on Commelinaceae (Commelinales) I. Phylogenetic Analysis of Commelina in Eastern and Southeastern Asia * CHUNG-KUN LEE , SHIZUKA FUSE AND MINORU N. TAMURA Department of Botany, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, Kitashirakawa-oiwake-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan. *[email protected] (author for correspondence) Commelina, the pantropical and largest genus in Commelinaceae, consists of ca. 205 species with char- acteristic conduplicate involucral bracts. Previous phylogenetic studies of Commelina, which mainly used African and North American species, suggested that the ancestral character state of the margins of the involucral bracts of Commelina was free and that free to fused occurred only once. To test this evo- lutionary scenario, we performed parsimony and likelihood analyses with partial matK sequences using 25 individuals from 11 species of Commelina, primarily from eastern and southeastern Asia, with An- eilema and Pollia as outgroups. Results showed that Commelina comprises two major clades, one con- sisting of four species, and the other consisting of seven species. Species with free margins of the invo- lucral bracts were in both major clades: C. suffruticosa in the first clade and C. coelestis, C. communis, C. diffusa, C. purpurea and C. sikkimensis in the latter. The phylogenetic trees suggested that the number of shifts is fewer when the ancestral state was fused and that there were two parallel evolutionary trends toward free. Key words: Commelina, Commelina maculata, Commelina paludosa, Commelina suffruticosa, Com- melinaceae, involucral bracts, matK, maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, phylogeny Commelina L., the largest genus of Com- na to be sister to a clade of Pollia Thunb., Poly- melinaceae Mirb.

  • Oladipo and Ayo-Ayinde: Foliar Epidermal Morphology of the Genera Chimpanzees Self-Medicate with A
    Ife Journal of Science vol. 16, no. 2 (2014) 219 FOLIAR EPIDERMAL MORPHOLOGY OF THE GENERA ANEILEMA AND COMMELINA (COMMELINACEAE) * Oladipo, O. T.1 and Ayo-Ayinde, M. A.1 1 Department of Botany, Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Nigeria; Corresponding author: *[email protected] or [email protected] (Received: 12th May, 2014; Accepted: 15th July, 2014) ABSTRACT A Comparative study of the foliar epidermal morphology of some members of the genera Commelina and Aneilema was undertaken. The aim was to study the structure of the foliar epidermis of five species belonging to the two genera and thus provide anatomical information that will help to possibly eliminate identification problems that exist among species of the genera using diagnostic characters of the foliar epidermal morphology. Epidermal peels of both the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of members of the genera were made using standard method and photomicrographs of the surfaces were made. Qualitative and quantitative characters were observed, measured and recorded. Results show that the preponderance of hexacytic stomata is classificatory of the two genera. Rectangular to polygonal epidermal cells on the adaxial lamina is diagnostic of Aneilema aequinoctiale. Result also reveals that simple hooked bicellular and unicellular non glandular trichome is diagnostic of Commelina benghalensis and Aneilema aequinoctiale respectively. Similarities exist in foliar epidermal characters like the trichome and stomata types among other characters between the genera Commelina and Aneilema. The low level of variability in the foliar epidermal morphology of the taxa studied show that foliar epidermal characters cannot stand alone in the separation of the taxa but need to be combined with characters from other lines of evidence.
