Hodkinson School of Natural Sciences Department of Botany Trinity College University of Dublin, Ireland I Declaration I hereby declare that the contents of this thesis are entirely my own work (except where otherwise stated) and that it has not been previously submitted as an exercise for a degree to this or any other university. I agree that library of the University of Dublin, Trinity College may lend or copy this thesis subject to the source being acknowledged. _______________________ Atchara Teerawatananon II Abstract This thesis has provided a comprehensive taxonomic account of tribe Arundinelleae, and subtribes Chionachninae, Dimeriinae and Germainiinae of the tribe Andropogoneae in Thailand. Complete floristic treatments of these taxa have been completed for the Flora of Thailand project. Keys to genera and species, species descriptions, synonyms, typifications, illustrations, distribution maps and lists of specimens examined, are also presented. Fourteen species and three genera of tribe Arundinelleae, three species and two genera of subtribe Chionachninae, seven species of subtribe Dimeriinae, and twelve species and two genera of Germainiinae, were recorded in Thailand, of which Garnotia ciliata and Jansenella griffithiana were recorded for the first time for Thailand. Three endemic grasses, Arundinella kerrii, A. kokutensis and Dimeria kerrii were described as new species to science. Phylogenetic relationships among major subfamilies in Poaceae and among major tribes within Panicoideae were evaluated using parsimony analysis of plastid DNA regions, trnL-F and atpB- rbcL, and a nuclear ribosomal DNA region, ITS.

Eravikulam.Pdf
Camping for 4-5 day duration will be regularly carried out at Poovar and Varattukulam. At least 3 to 4 camps will be arranged in these areas each month to ensure proper protection. In other camps at Kolukkan, Eravikulam, Anamudy, Meenthotty and Pettymudy, camps of 3-4 day duration will be carried out. 2-3 camps will be arranged in these areas during a month. Camping and perambulation is to be done every month in Parappayar, Parakkudy and Nooradykudy to ensure protection and keep the boundaries free from illicit activities. This will also help in eco development initiatives and prevent the external interference in tribal settlements, especially in the light of latest challenges in the form of terrorism and nexalitism. The ganja combing operation will be carried out during these perambulations. Additional perambulations will be done in the areas adjoining the Park in the northern, eastern and western boundaries, where there are chances of ganja cultivation. The boundaries with the tea estates at Chattamunnar, Vaguvarai, Kadalar, Rajamala and Pettymudy will be regularly combed for nooses and illicit distillation of liquor. The camps at Poovar, Varattukulam, Kolukkan and Eravikulam will be managed by the staff at Chattamunnar and the camps at Anamudy, Meenthotty and Pettymudy will be managed by staff at Rajamala. The Forester at Chattamunnar will organise the perambulation at Poovar, Varattukulam, Kolukkan and Eravikulam. The Forester at Rajamala will organise camps at Anamudy, Meenthotty, Pettymudy and at Parappayar, Parakkudy and Nooradykudy. The Deputy Rangers will oversee the implementation of protection plan in Eravikulam National Park in areas under their jurisdiction.

Taxonomy and Conservation Status of Pteridophyte Flora of Sri Lanka R.H.G
Taxonomy and Conservation Status of Pteridophyte Flora of Sri Lanka R.H.G. Ranil and D.K.N.G. Pushpakumara University of Peradeniya Introduction The recorded history of exploration of pteridophytes in Sri Lanka dates back to 1672-1675 when Poul Hermann had collected a few fern specimens which were first described by Linneus (1747) in Flora Zeylanica. The majority of Sri Lankan pteridophytes have been collected in the 19th century during the British period and some of them have been published as catalogues and checklists. However, only Beddome (1863-1883) and Sledge (1950-1954) had conducted systematic studies and contributed significantly to today’s knowledge on taxonomy and diversity of Sri Lankan pteridophytes (Beddome, 1883; Sledge, 1982). Thereafter, Manton (1953) and Manton and Sledge (1954) reported chromosome numbers and some taxonomic issues of selected Sri Lankan Pteridophytes. Recently, Shaffer-Fehre (2006) has edited the volume 15 of the revised handbook to the flora of Ceylon on pteridophyta (Fern and FernAllies). The local involvement of pteridological studies began with Abeywickrama (1956; 1964; 1978), Abeywickrama and Dassanayake (1956); and Abeywickrama and De Fonseka, (1975) with the preparations of checklists of pteridophytes and description of some fern families. Dassanayake (1964), Jayasekara (1996), Jayasekara et al., (1996), Dhanasekera (undated), Fenando (2002), Herat and Rathnayake (2004) and Ranil et al., (2004; 2005; 2006) have also contributed to the present knowledge on Pteridophytes in Sri Lanka. However, only recently, Ranil and co workers initiated a detailed study on biology, ecology and variation of tree ferns (Cyatheaceae) in Kanneliya and Sinharaja MAB reserves combining field and laboratory studies and also taxonomic studies on island-wide Sri Lankan fern flora.

Flowering Plants of Sikkim- an Analysis
FLOWERING PLANTS OF SIKKIM- AN ANALYSIS Paramjit Singh and M. Sanjappa ABSTRACT ikkim is one of the biodiversity rich states of our country. The present paper analyses the flowering plant diversity of the state with some indicative figures of dominant genera like Bulbophyllum, Calanthe, Coelogyne, SCymbidium, Dendrobium, Gentiana, Juncus, Pedicularis, Primula, Rhododendron and Swertia recorded from the region. Nearly 165 species have been named after the state, as they were first collected from the state or plants were known to occur in Sikkim. Some of the representative endemic species of the state have also been listed. One hundred ninety seven families, 1371 genera have been appended with indicative number of species of each genus known to occur in Sikkim. In all more than 4450 species of flowering plants recorded so far. KEYWORDS: Diversity, Dominant genera, Endemics, Families, Flowering Plants, Sikkim Waldheimia glabra in Lhonak, North Sikkim 65 Middle storey of Rhododendron in Conifer forests INTRODUCTION ikkim, the second smallest state of India having an area of around 7096 sq. km is known as the paradise of naturalists. It is a thumb shaped hilly region with Nepal in the west, Bhutan in the east and Tibet in the north and Snorth-east. In the south it is bordered by Darjeeling district of West Bengal. The mountain chains which run southward from the main Himalayan ranges form the natural border of Sikkim; the Chola Range dividing it from Tibet in the north east and Bhutan in the south-east; the Singalila range likewise separating it from Nepal in the west. Mountain passes along these ranges over the years have sustained a two way traffic of traders, pilgrims, and adventurers from Tibet and Central Asia.
