Notes on Cryptocoryne
Notes on Cryptocoryne BY T. Petch, B.A., B.Sc. WITH FOUR PLATES The genus Cryptocoryne (Araceae) was established by Fischer for the reception of two Indian species, Cryptocoryne spiralis and Crypto- coryne ciliata, which had been described under Ambrosinia by Roxburgh. Additional species were described by Roxburgh, Schott, and other botanists, while in Beccari, Malesia, Engler described eleven new species from Borneo and gave a conspectus of twenty-four known species. In Flora British India, Hooker enumerated sixteen species, and in Flora of Ceylon, five species. The total number of species is now over thirty, confined to the Eastern Tropics. For our knowledge of the structure of the flower we are indebted almost entirely to Griffith, who recorded the results of his examination of fresh specimens of Cryptocoryne ciliata in Trans. Linn. Soc., XX, pp. 263-276. The spadix is small, and it is not easy to determine the details of its structure from dried specimens. Consequently, very little has been added to Griffith's account, and a detailed examination of the living flower is still lacking in the case of the majority of the alleged species. In Ceylon, Cryptocoryne has been considered very rare. Crypto- coryne Thwaitesii Schott, hitherto the best-known species, occurs in the wet low-country in the south-west of the Island. C. Nevillii Trimen was described from a single collection made by Nevill in the Eastern Province. C. Beckettii Thwaites was collected in 1865 in Matale East, and there are two subsequent collections assigned to this species in Herb., Peradeniya. The record of C. -
Cytological Studies on South Indian Araceae K. Ramachandran
Cytologia 43: 289-303, 1978 Cytological Studies on South Indian Araceae K. Ramachandran Departmentof Botany,University of Kerala,Trivandrum, India ReceivedSeptember 21, 1976 Araceae is a large family consisting of 1400-1500 species in 105 genera (Lawrence 1960), distributed largely in the tropics. The family includes three important tuber crops, viz. dasheen or taro (Colocasia esculenta Schott), tanier (Xanthosoma sagitti folium Schott) and elephantfoot yam (Amorphophallus campanulatus B1.) widely cultivated in most tropical countries. Other cultivated species of less importance are Alocasia indica and Typhonium trilobatum. The aim of the present investigation has been chromosome studies of cultivated and wild tuberous species of the Araceae. Cytological observations on 30 species, mostly indigenous to South India are pre sented in this paper. Karyological studies of four South Indian species of Amor phophallus have been reported elsewhere (Ramachandran 1977). Materials and methods All the materials investigated in the present study except Theriophonum minutum, Typhonium trilobatum and Arisaema wightii, were collected from different localities in Kerala, South India. Acetocarmine squashes of root tips and anthers fixed in 1:3 acetic alcohol were made according to the usual method. Root tips of plants with large or medium sized chromosomes were treated with 0.002M aqueous solution of 8-hydroxy quinoline at about 4•Ž for 3-4 hrs. and of plants with small chromosomes chilled for an hour in water at 4•Ž prior to fixation. For meiotic studies, parts of spadices with staminate flowers or stamens were directly fixed in acetic alcohol. The chromosome numbers of taxa determined in the present study are listed in Table 1. -

History and Current Status of Systematic Research with Araceae
HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH WITH ARACEAE Thomas B. Croat Missouri Botanical Garden P. O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO 63166 U.S.A. Note: This paper, originally published in Aroideana Vol. 21, pp. 26–145 in 1998, is periodically updated onto the IAS web page with current additions. Any mistakes, proposed changes, or new publications that deal with the systematics of Araceae should be brought to my attention. Mail to me at the address listed above, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Last revised November 2004 INTRODUCTION The history of systematic work with Araceae has been previously covered by Nicolson (1987b), and was the subject of a chapter in the Genera of Araceae by Mayo, Bogner & Boyce (1997) and in Curtis's Botanical Magazine new series (Mayo et al., 1995). In addition to covering many of the principal players in the field of aroid research, Nicolson's paper dealt with the evolution of family concepts and gave a comparison of the then current modern systems of classification. The papers by Mayo, Bogner and Boyce were more comprehensive in scope than that of Nicolson, but still did not cover in great detail many of the participants in Araceae research. In contrast, this paper will cover all systematic and floristic work that deals with Araceae, which is known to me. It will not, in general, deal with agronomic papers on Araceae such as the rich literature on taro and its cultivation, nor will it deal with smaller papers of a technical nature or those dealing with pollination biology. -

Fruit and Seed Structure in Araceae
Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Plant Sci,), Vol. 100, No. i, February 1990. pp. 61-69. Printed in India. Fruit and seed structure in Araceae A R KULKARNI, D DOSI and V M MANOJ Department of Life Science, University of Bombay, Santacruz (East), Bombay 400098, India MS received 27 December 1988; revised 21 November 1989 Abstraet. Fruit and seed anatomy of 12 species of Araceae distributed in 11 genera has been described. Taxonomic significance of fruit and seed anatomy has been brought out. Keywords. Fruit; seed; anatomy; Araceae. 1. Introduetion Our knowledge of fruit and seed structure in Araceae is quite meagre (Netolitzky 1926). Windle (1889) recorded the occurrence of fibres (trichosclereids) and raphides in the fruits of Monstera. Buell (1935) stated that the seeds of Acorus are ensheathed by hard transparent mucilage that rapidly absorbs moisture and swells into gelatinous mass when wetted. The present study, mainly aimed at recognising taxonomic significance, describes anatomy of mature fruits and seeds of 12 species of 11 genera in Araceae. 2. Materials and methods Mature fruits and seeds of Pistia stratiotes and Aglaonema cornmutatum were collected from ptants cultivated in gardens of Ruia College, Bombay and those of other species from forests of various places in Maharashtra and fixed in FAA. Custo- mary procedure of dehydration, embedding and sectioning was folIowed. The microtome sections of 20-30/zm thickness were stained with 1% safranin in 70% alcohol and 0.5% aniline blue in absolute alcohol. 3. Results Fruits in Araceae are raphidian berries. Amongst the species examined, they are of composite type in Cryptocoryne and simple in others. -

Abstract Phytochemical screening and their antibacterial activity of plant are important parameters which lead to the isolation of new and novel compounds. Cryptocoryne spiralis (Retz) Fischer ex Wydler var. spiralis (CSS) and Cryptocoryne retrospiralis (Roxb) Kunth (CR), leaf and rhizome have been selected for phytochemical screening to identify the different classes of secondary metabolites. Antibacterial activity of different solvent extracts of leaf and rhizome were carried out by using agar well diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by serial dilution technique. The inhibitory effect was studied using the growth pattern of these test organisms. GC-MS analysis was also done to determine the secondary metabolite profile. -
Muriyad Wetlands: Ecological Changes and Human Consequences
MURIYAD WETLANDS: ECOLOGICAL CHANGES AND HUMAN CONSEQUENCES Project report submitted to Kerala Research Programme on Local Development, Centre for Developmental Studies, Thiruvanandapuram Principal Investigator Dr. John Thomas K. Department of Zoology, Christ College, Irinjalakuda Co-investigators: Dr. Sreekumar S. Department of Geology, Christ College, Irinjalakuda and Dr. Jaya Cheriyan Department of Social Works, Vimala College Thrissur December 2003 Christ College Irinajakuda 680 125, Kerala Preface Wetland forms an important ecosystem essential for existence of life on earth. Floodplains of rivers and vicinities of wetlands are considered as the cradle of human civilisation. However we treat them with indifference rather thanwith care. As urbanization increased, the wetland also started vanishing. The people who had damaged the wetlands have already begun to pay the price in terms of scarcity of water, flooding, polluting, and toppling the micro climatic pattern. This report discusses in detail about thevarious threats faced by the Muriyad wetland system, which forms part of Vembanad-Kol, a Ramsar site. The introductory chapter gives a general description of the study area; objectives, general methodology of study, and the relevance of the investigations. Detailed methodology employed for specific area of study is explained in the beginning of each chapter. The Second chapter is a review of literature on wetland related studies. Third chapter is devoted to geo environmental appraisal and the fourth chapter describes the biological wealth of Muriyad wetlands. The impacts of the change in the socio economic perspectives of the human community on the ecology of the wetland are discussed in chapter five. The last chapter is exclusively devoted for consolidation of the outcome of the present investigations and suggestions for the conservation and management of Muriyad wetland. -
