  • Minireview Article the Current Research Status of Endangered
    Minireview Article The Current Research Status of Endangered Rhynchostylis retusa (L.) Blume: A Review ABSTRACT Orchids bear the crown of highly evolved ornamental floral specialization in the plant kingdom, but have poor medicinal background. Further, Rhynchostylis retusa (L.) Blume is much less studied plant species among Orchidaceae due to its overexploitation in the wild. This epiphytic herb belongs to the tropical areas and kept under endangered category by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) that points out its abated natural population. In this sense, the aim is to document the past and present researches upon R. retusa highlighting the traditional and remedial uses, and to ignite the conservation awareness among the people. Keywords: Conservation, medicines, mythology, patents, taxonomy, tissue culture. 1. INTRODUCTION Orchidaceae (monocotyledons) are one of the largest families of the plant world extending from tropics to alpines along with a boon of astonishing beauty in their flowers [1]. Orchids are the richest among angiosperms with diverse species number (approximately >25,000) having epiphytes (more abundant, 73 %), lithophytes and ground plants [2,3]. Fossil records of orchids date back to 100 million years ago [4]. Actually the term ‘orchid’ coming from ‘orchis’ (Greek word) meaning testicle was given by Theophrastus (372-286 B.C.), who reported the use of orchid roots as aphrodiasic. Despite of huge family size, orchids are largely exploited and traded for their ornamental flower diversity but less attention is paid towards their remedial properties. According to Reinikka, the first evidence of the use of orchids as medicines comes from Shênnung’s Materia Medica in 28th century B.C.

  • Diversity of Ornamental Climbers in Kattathurai Panchayath, Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu, India
    International Journal of Biology Research International Journal of Biology Research ISSN: 2455-6548 Impact Factor: RJIF 5.22 www.biologyjournal.in Volume 3; Issue 1; January 2018; Page No. 76-78 Diversity of ornamental climbers in Kattathurai Panchayath, Kanyakumari district, Tamil Nadu, India Mary Kensa V PG Department of Botany and Research Centre, ST Hindu College, Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract Plants are remarkable source of valuable substances for human beings. These are showing variation in their habitat as well as their habit. As per climatic conditions, the plants are showing their presence in different sites. Climbing plants account for a significant component of plant evolution, diversity and abundance and play a major role in forest communities and ecosystems. The survey of angiospermic ornamental climbers from Kattathurai panchayath recorded total 48 species under 27 genera belonging to 17 families. Maximum number of 11 species was recorded for dicotyledonous family Convolvulaceae (Ipomea-11) followed by Jasminum (3), Passiflora (3), Clerodendrum (3), Allamanda (2); Campis (2); Clematis (2); Clytostoma (2); Solanum (2). Climbers in different parts of India suggest that the climbers are the main components of ecosystem, and their conservation is important to establish their appropriate utilization. The abundance of climbing plants in this study area was directly related to their capacity to intercept light efficiently but not to their potential carbon gain. The most abundant climbers in this ecosystem match well with a shade-tolerance syndrome in contrast to the pioneer-like nature of climbers observed in tropical studies. Keywords: diversity, plants, climbing plants, Jasminum Introduction objective of the present study was to document the Climbing plants are ubiquitous but their abundance and angiospermic climbers of Kattathurai panchayath.

The traditional land-tenure system is based on a customary oral tradition. However, the government’s persistent denial of land rights has fueled the indigenous conflicts in the last few decades. Deliverance of scientific evidence-based arguments may underpin the ongoing conflict-resolution dialogues between the authorities and the indigenous communities. Dating growth rings of trees in a slash-and-burn system might help the indigenous people to find evidence of their historic land uses in the mountainous landscape. In this pilot study, we examined the potential of Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H. J. Lam growth rings for documenting land use history of Nepalese indigenous farming practices, as this species is being preserved during the slash-and-burn practices. The species is an economically important and ecologically interesting (as it flushes leaves when everything is dry, and sheds leaves while everything is green) deciduous tree species belonging to Sapotaceae family and widely distributed in Sub-Himalayan tracts.

  • Research Priorities and Future Directions in Conservation of Wild Orchids in Sri Lanka: a Review
    Nature Conservation Research. Заповедная наука 2020. 5(Suppl.1): 34–45 https://dx.doi.org/10.24189/ncr.2020.029 RESEARCH PRIORITIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN CONSERVATION OF WILD ORCHIDS IN SRI LANKA: A REVIEW J. Dananjaya Kottawa-Arachchi1,*, R. Samantha Gunasekara2 1Tea Research Institute of Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka 2Lanka Nature Conservationists, Sri Lanka *e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received: 24.03.2020. Revised: 22.05.2020. Accepted: 29.05.2020. Together with Western Ghats, Sri Lanka is a biodiversity hotspot amongst the 35 regions known worldwide. Considering the Sri Lankan orchids, 70.6% of the orchid species, including 84% of the endemics, are categorised as threatened. The distribution of the family Orchidaceae is mostly correlated with the distribution pattern of the main bioclimatic zones which is governed by the amount and intensity of rainfall and altitude. Habitat deterioration and degradation, clearing of vegetation, intentional forest fires and spread of invasive alien species are significant threats to native species. Illegally collection and exporting of indigenous species has been another alarming issue in the past decades. Protection of native species, increased public awareness, enforcement of legislation and introduction of new propagation techniques would certainly bring a beneficial effect to the native orchid flora. Conduct awareness programs, strengthen existing laws, and reviewing the legal framework related to the native orchid flora could be vital for future conservation. Apart from the identification of new species and their distribution, future research on understanding soil chemical and physical parameters of terrestrial habitats, plant association of terrestrial orchids, phenology patterns and interactions of pollinators, associations with mycorrhiza, effect of invasive alien species and impact of climate change are highlighted.
