OPEN ACCESS 1 cdp08indiagmail.com (corresponding author), 2 neosacongmail.com Abstract: An atempt has been made to understand the extent of ornithophony (vocalizaton of birds) in the soundscape of Anaikaty Hills. The study was limited to 13 hours of daylight from dawn to dusk (06.00–19.00 h) between January 2015 and October 2016. Six replicates of 5-minute bird call recordings were collected from each hour window in 24 recording spots of the study area. Each 5-minute recording was divided into 150 2-sec’ observaton units for the detailed analysis of the soundscape. A total of 78 recordings amountng to 390 minutes of acoustc data allowed a preliminary analysis of the ornithophony of the area. A total of 62 bird species were heard vocalizing during the study period and contributed 8,629 units. A total of 73.75 acoustc space was occupied by birds, among which the eight dominant species alone contributed to 63.65 of ornithophony. The remaining 26 of acoustc space was occupied by other biophonies (12.60), geophony (5.57), indistnct sounds (7.66), and anthropogenic noise (0.41). Passerines dominated the vocalizatons with 7,269 (84.24) and non-passerines with 1,360 (15.76) units. Birds vocalized in all 13 observaton windows, with a peak in the frst three hours of the day (06.00–09.00 h). Vocalizatons of non-passerines were prominent in the dusk hours (18.00–19.00 h).

KAMRUL HAQUE , SALEH AHAMMAD KHAN, SARDER NASIR UDDIN AND SHAYLA SHARMIN SHETU Department of Botany, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka 1342, Bangladesh Keywords: Checklist; Angiosperms; Rajkandi Reserve Forest; Moulvibazar. Abstract This study was carried out to provide the baseline data on the composition and distribution of the angiosperms and to assess their current status in Rajkandi Reserve Forest of Moulvibazar, Bangladesh. The study reports a total of 549 angiosperm species belonging to 123 families, 98 (79.67%) of which consisting of 418 species under 316 genera belong to Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons), and the remaining 25 (20.33%) comprising 132 species of 96 genera to Liliopsida (monocotyledons). Rubiaceae with 30 species is recognized as the largest family in Magnoliopsida followed by Euphorbiaceae with 24 and Fabaceae with 22 species; whereas, in Lilliopsida Poaceae with 32 species is found to be the largest family followed by Cyperaceae and Araceae with 17 and 15 species, respectively. Ficus is found to be the largest genus with 12 species followed by Ipomoea, Cyperus and Dioscorea with five species each. Rajkandi Reserve Forest is dominated by the herbs (284 species) followed by trees (130 species), shrubs (125 species), and lianas (10 species). Woodlands are found to be the most common habitat of angiosperms. A total of 387 species growing in this area are found to be economically useful. 25 species listed in Red Data Book of Bangladesh under different threatened categories are found under Lower Risk (LR) category in this study area.

Introduction large multi-flowered related species including Brachystelma is a genus of around 100 currently B. barberae and B. buchananii. recognised species. The group is confined mostly to Members of Brachystelma are characterised by leaves southern Africa with around two thirds of all species, that are opposite, linear to elongated, with wavy, with the rest in Africa and also in India, and a single sinuate to entire straight margins. These are bright species in Australia. All the species have a swollen green to greyish and glabrous to very hairy. The underground caudex or fusiform roots. The stems are flowers are borne in the axils of the leaves or terminal deciduous and die back at the end of the growing in panicles. Each flower has five corolla lobes which season. In this article a new species of Brachystelma is can be united at their tips or free. The corona contains described from Tanzania, namely B. tanzaniensis. This the gynostegium with the paired pollinia and the is a rare species known only from three areas in the stigmatic surfaces. The paired follicles develop after Dodoma and Iringa Regions.

  • Thai Zingiberaceae : Species Diversity and Their Uses
    URL: http://www.iupac.org/symposia/proceedings/phuket97/sirirugsa.html © 1999 IUPAC Thai Zingiberaceae : Species Diversity And Their Uses Puangpen Sirirugsa Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Thailand Abstract: Zingiberaceae is one of the largest families of the plant kingdom. It is important natural resources that provide many useful products for food, spices, medicines, dyes, perfume and aesthetics to man. Zingiber officinale, for example, has been used for many years as spices and in traditional forms of medicine to treat a variety of diseases. Recently, scientific study has sought to reveal the bioactive compounds of the rhizome. It has been found to be effective in the treatment of thrombosis, sea sickness, migraine and rheumatism. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FAMILY ZINGIBERACEAE Perennial rhizomatous herbs. Leaves simple, distichous. Inflorescence terminal on the leafy shoot or on the lateral shoot. Flower delicate, ephemeral and highly modified. All parts of the plant aromatic. Fruit a capsule. HABITATS Species of the Zingiberaceae are the ground plants of the tropical forests. They mostly grow in damp and humid shady places. They are also found infrequently in secondary forest. Some species can fully expose to the sun, and grow on high elevation. DISTRIBUTION Zingiberaceae are distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. The center of distribution is in SE Asia. The greatest concentration of genera and species is in the Malesian region (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea) *Invited lecture presented at the International Conference on Biodiversity and Bioresources: Conservation and Utilization, 23–27 November 1997, Phuket, Thailand.

Box 9517, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 3Department of Botany, Nagaland University, Lumami 798627, Zunheboto, Nagaland, India 4The Field Museum, Department of Botany, 1400 S Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, IL 60605, USA ABSTRACT. Wallich published Monolophus Wall. (Zingiberaceae) in 1832 for two taxa he had described previously in 1820 as Kaempferia linearis Wall. and K. secunda Wall. He also mentioned M. ? elegans Wall., but the “?” indicates that he was not certain that this species belonged to this new genus. Consequently, Monolophus elegans, while validly published, cannot be the lectotype of the generic name. In 1964 Larsen argued against accepting Monolophus and established the alternative Caulokaempferia K.Larsen. Caulokaempferia, typified by the name C. linearis (Wall.) K.Larsen, is, however, superfluous. Monolophus is hereby reinstated with 22 new combinations. Its phylogenetic position is shown in relation to other genera. Based on comparative nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequence data analyses, Jirawongsea Picheans. (previously Caulokaempferia, pro parte) is reduced to Boesenbergia Kuntze with five new combinations. Keywords. Kaempferia, molecular phylogeny, nomenclature, taxonomy Introduction Over the past several years the authors have been collecting molecular data from both the nuclear ITS and the chloroplast trnK intron to produce a phylogeny of the genus Boesenbergia Kuntze.

Heat map of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry showing the lists submitted during PBC 2018. Deeper red indicates overlapping lists, which signal more lists from that location. 1 Out of 1734 lists submitted most lists were from Salem, Coimbatore, Tirupur, Pudukkottai and Chennai (top 5 districts). During the PBC 2018, more than 370 checklists were submitted daily (Day1-472, Day2- 424, Day3-374, and Day4-464) 350 species Out of nearly 525 species likely to occur in Tamil Nadu region, 350 species were reported during within four days of PBC 2018. Complete list of birds reported during this period can be seen in Annexure 1. Common Myna was the most common resident bird appearing in 52% of all the checklists and the Blyth’s Reed Warbler was the most common migrant appearing in 22% of the checklists. Top 5 species reported in individual districts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry during PBC 2018 can be seen in Annexure 2.
