Dietary profile of Rhinopithecus bieti and its socioecological implications Abstract To enhance our understanding of dietary adaptations and socioecological correlates in colobines, we conducted a 20-mo study of a wild group of Rhinopithecus bieti (Yunnan snub-nosed monkeys) in the montane Samage Forest. This forest supports a patchwork of evergreen broadleaved, evergreen coniferous, and mixed deciduous broadleaved/ coniferous forest assemblages with a total of 80 tree species in 23 families. The most common plant families by basal area are the predominantly evergreen Pinaceae and Fagaceae, comprising 69% of the total tree biomass.

    TAM end of season - no General meeting Annual Potluck Dinner - sunday june 8, 2008 4:00 p.m. at the home of Joe and joanne ronsley. See Page 7 for the Ronsley’s contact information to obtain directions to their home. www.rhodo.citymax.com President’s Message By Joanne Ronsley The VRS activity year is inexorably drawing to a close—a sad time in some ways, but I think we all need a couple months to recharge. And a quiet, lazy summer, or one of distant adventures, is always appealing. But we do not close with a whimper! Our potluck supper was to be held at the home of Richard and Heather Mossakowski. But due to Richard’s hospital stay, the venue has been changed to the home of Joe and Joeanne Ronsley. The date is the same -Sunday, June 8th, at 4 o’clock. Everyone always has a good time at these events, which have a long tradition dating back all the way to the last century. If you have not signed up to bring a specific item for the menu, please contact either Vern Finley or me. But in any case, don’t miss the event. Our Show and Sale appears to have been quite successful, but I’m afraid I don’t yet have the final figures. They will be available by September. And speaking of September, next year’s speakers’ programme is one we can all look forward to, beginning with Garratt Richardson from Seattle, who has been participating in Asian plant expedition for many years, initially while he was a practicing physician, and since his recent retirement.

    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 18..................................4th May 2016 Yellow Erythronium grandiflorum and the pure white of Erythronium elegans, growing in the rock garden, are featured on this week’s cover picture. Despite all the extremes that our weather is delivering the flowering of the Erythroniums is at a peak just now. In one of the sand plunge beds a basket of Erythronium hendersonii opens its flowers responding to one of the sunny periods. View across the rock garden bed to one of the sand plunges. Erythronium revolutum hybrids These are two of the Erythronium revolutum hybrids that I lifted for assessment a few years ago. I grew them in pots for a year then transferred them into plunge baskets last summer to allow them more space to increase. They both have well-marked leaves and interesting markings in the flowers so the main thing I am trialling them for is to see how quickly they will increase. Erythronium ‘Joanna’ One of the plants that has suffered a bit in the bad weather is Erythronium ‘Joanna’. The flowers of this group, growing in a plunge basket, have become spotted with some withering at the tips while others planted out under the cover of Rhododendrons are fine. I also notice similar damage on flowers of Erythronium tuloumnense, one of the parents of E. ‘Joanna’. Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ There is no doubt that the flowers of some species are more resistent to the cold wet conditions and that resilience is passed on to hybrids. Erythronium ‘Craigton Cover Girl’ has E.

A total of 326 species belonging to 83 families and 219 genera of angiospermic plants have been documented from this area. The largest families are Ericaceae (36 species) and Asteraceae (22 genera). Similarly, the largest and dominant genus was Rhododendron (26 species) in the area. There were 178 herbs, 67 shrubs, 62 trees, 15 climbers and other 4 species of sub-alpine and temperate plants. The paper has attempted to list the plants with their habits and habitats. Key words: alpine, angiospermic flora, conservation, rhododendron Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale Introduction determines overall biodiversity and development The area of Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale (TMJ) falls under the activities. With the increasing altitude, temperature middle Himalaya ranging from 1700 m asl to 5000 m asl, is decreased and consequently different climatic and geographically lies between 2706’57" to 27030’28" zones within a sort vertical distance are found.
