  • Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key
    Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key Version June 7, 2021 1 Tropical landscape is full of trees. They rarely flower or bear fruits, and often have very similar leaves. However, shapes and structures of trunks and crowns (so similar in temperate regions) are seriously different in tropics. If you want to know tropics better, you should learn these architectural models. The following key is mainly based on Halle, Oldeman and Thom- linson's (1978) \Tropical Trees and Forests" (pp. 84{97)1. 1. Stem strictly unbranched (Monoaxial trees) . 2. − Stems branched, sometimes apparently unbranched in Cham- berlain's model (polyaxial trees) . 3. 2. Inflorescence terminal . Holttum's model.

The method used was observation, survey and desk methods. The result of researh show that the flora and fauna in the Halu Oleo Botanical Garden found about 86 species of flora and 54 species of bird. In addition, it also found other fauna such as pigs, mice, wild chicken etc. There were some pressure influenced the existancy of flora and fauna in the garden, those are: illegal logging, hunting or trapped animals and forest fire. To anticipate impact of future pressure on flora and fauna, therefore, the prototyping to manage the garden had been developed as follows: (a) developing a public awareness activities or education to increase understanding of local community and students about function and existance of UHO botanical garden; (b) improving management system of botanical garden especially facilitation process on protection of the resources involving stakeholders (community, students, lecturers, etc) in proctection mangement; (c) to promote planting movement to enrich the Sulawesi endemic vegetation in the garden involving stakeholders; (d) to develop center of endemic vegetation of Sulawesi and (e) establishment of information and promotion center of UHO Botanical Garden to promote diversity of flora and fauna values as intangible value to support local economic development in the future.

DOI:10.26524/krj269 ABSTRACT Tamil Nadu has rich repository of medicinal plant wealth and equally threatened with several number of factors. There has been enumerated a total of 119 species Red Listed medicinal plants, from which 27 species have assessed global RL status. Fourteen species have been assigned Critically Endangered (CR) status, 27 species are Endangered (EN), 31 species are Vulnerable (VU) and 10 species are Near Threatened (NT). 18 of these Red Listed medicinal plant species have been recorded in high volume trade in the national level trade study. The present paper analysed the diversity status of endemic medicinal plant diversity, assessment methods, policy terms related to medicinal plant conservation and conservational areas in Tamil Nadu.

ABSTRACT Pharmacological and toxicological evaluations of medicinal plants are essential for drug development. Cycas circinalis and Ionidium suffruticosum are the two herbs which had been used since ancient times for treating various ailments traditionally in Indian system of Medicine (Siddha Medicine), but the medicinal effects of both the herbs were yet to be proved scientifically. The present study was done to evaluate the sub-acute toxicity of both the medicinal herbs as a preliminary part in proving its medicinal effect on maintaining the fertility of male. OECD guidelines 407 were followed for the sub-acute toxicity study. A total of 42 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups of 6 animals in each group for 3 dosages up to 28 days and each group was administered 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg body weight of C.circinalis and I.suffruticosu methanolic extracts. The hematological and biochemical parameters were analyzed and compared between the control and experimental group, there was only slight variations were noted and was found to be within the standard laboratory values and statistical analysis of the parameters showed insignificance.

  • Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
    Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).
