Sm., the basionym of Agapetes smithiana Sleumer, to augment the inadvertent lectotypification by Airy Shaw (1959) on a G.A. Gammie collection from Sikkim, India. A step-two lectotypfication on the specimen at Kew is designated here. An amplified description of var. smithiana is provided. Photographs of the lectotype, isolectotype, epitype, and live plants are provided to facilitate identification. KEY WORDS: typification, Sikkim, West Bengal, India. Pentapterygium sikkimense was described by William Wright Smith (1911 268) based on specimens collected by George Alexander Gammie in 1892 ( 1216 , K! [Fig. 1], CAL! [Fig. 2]) from Lachung Valley in the state of Sikkim, and by Charles Gilbert Rogers in 1899 (accession no. 264374, CAL!) from the lower Tonglu region of the Darjeeling Himalaya in the state of West Bengal, India.

    Management Plan 2006 - 2010

    PHOBJIKHA LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION AREA Management Plan 2006 - 2010 The Royal Society for Protection of Nature The Royal Society for Protection of Nature Post Box 325 Thimphu, BHUTAN All Rights Reserved © 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Royal Society for Protection of Nature (RSPN), the only non-governmental conservation organization in Bhutan, has been a key player in the conservation of the endangered Black-necked Cranes in Phobjikha valley. The survival of the Black – necked Cranes in Phobjikha, is linked with the humans. As residents of Phobjikha move down to the lower elevations of Ada to escape severe winter, their migration has safeguarded wintering cranes and their habitat in Phobjikha. Therefore, contributions to crane conservation from Ada as winter homes for several hundred households and their wetland farms, are of enormous values. To know more about Phobjikha valley, RSPN had completed two studies with vital information on how human experiences have shaped their natural surroundings including the survival of the Black-necked Cranes. Based on the occurrence of endangered species such as the Black-necked Cranes, White-bellied Heron, red panda and tigers, the preliminary boundary of the Phobjikha Landscape Conservation Area (PLCA) was delineated to include both Phobjikha and Ada. The boundary falls within 890 57’ 54” - 900 17’ 30” North and 270 13’ 50” - 270 31’ 27 East, with an area of 402.9 km2. Within the PLCA boundary, the Phobjikha valley (rim) was considered the crane area (161.9 km2 ; 900 5’ 55” – 900 17’ 30” North and 270 22’ 16” – 270 31’ 27” East). Seven major land-use were identified: agriculture, forest, scrub, marsh, water-bodies, pastures and settlements.

THE YEAR or most folks, this past year has presented challenges like no other in IN living memory. Not surprisingly, the resilience of the natural world and REVIEW the serenity of gardens have provided us with welcome solace. It has Fbeen gratifying to see so many visitors to the Arboretum throughout the pan- demic, experiencing what most of us have always valued about this special place: the beautiful landscapes, and the calming influence of seasonal change and the rhythms of nature. The Arboretum has not been immune from the difficulties caused by the pandemic. Reductions in staff hours, especially during the early days of the shutdown, caused the delay and rethinking of many planting and maintenance projects. The restriction of volunteer activities also has been acutely felt. Even in the best of times, our limited staff rely on our tremendous volunteers to help keep the collections and planting beds looking good. The need for social distancing and other new safety measures has led to changes and adaptations in nearly all aspects of our work. Winter 2021 v 3 However, nature doesn’t wait, and plants remove the invasives. Mature examples of and weeds continue to grow. Despite all the mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana) and challenges, we’ve tried to maintain forward magnolia species were suddenly visible and momentum and keep things looking as present- enjoying the added light.

    Sikkim Himalaya: Unique Features of Biogeography and Ecology

    SIKKIM HIMALAYA: UNIQUE FEATURES OF BIOGEOGRAPHY AND ECOLOGY G. S. Rawat and Sandeep Tambe ABSTRACT he Sikkim Himalaya stands out as smallest but biologically most diverse Himalayan states in India. It is unique in several ways - most importantly, it's close proximity to both the Tibetan Plateau and Bay of Bengal thereby Thaving affinities with tropical moist forests in the south and cold desert in the north within a short distance of less than 100 kms. Heavy precipitation during winter as well as summer season has given rise to lush green vegetation. The state has strong influence of both west and east Himalayan biogeographic provinces. The west Himalayan elements in the state include Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) and blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur). However, the state exhibits more affinities with the eastern Himalaya as evident from the presence of red panda (Ailurus fulgens), clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), serow (Capricornis milneedwardsii maritimus) and high diversity of orchids and rhododendrons. The state is said to be the historical range of golden takin (Budorcas taxicolor). Angiosperms and lower groups of plants and animals exhibit high levels of endemism. This article deals with a few unique features of biogeography and ecology of the state along with priority areas of research and conservation.

  • Altitudinal Variations of Ground Tissue and Xylem Tissue in Terminal Shoot of Woody Species: Implications for Treeline Formation

    Altitudinal Variations of Ground Tissue and Xylem Tissue in Terminal Shoot of Woody Species: Implications for Treeline Formation

    Altitudinal Variations of Ground Tissue and Xylem Tissue in Terminal Shoot of Woody Species: Implications for Treeline Formation Hong Chen1,2*, Haiyang Wang1, Yanfang Liu2, Li Dong2 1 Institute of Landscape Ecology of Mountainous Horticulture, Southwest University, Chongqing, China, 2 Department of Botany, College of Horticulture and Landscape, Southwest University, Chongqing, China Abstract 1. The terminal shoot (or current-year shoot), as one of the most active parts on a woody plant, is a basic unit determining plant height and is potentially influenced by a variety of environmental factors. It has been predicted that tissues amount and their allocation in plant stems may play a critical role in determining plant size in alpine regions. The primary structure in terminal shoots is a key to our understanding treeline formation. The existing theories on treeline formation, however, are still largely lacking of evidence at the species level, much less from anatomy for the terminal shoot. 2. The primary structures within terminal shoot were measured quantitatively for 100 species from four elevation zones along the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain, southwestern China; one group was sampled from above the treeline. An allometric approach was employed to examine scaling relationships interspecifically, and a principal components analysis (PCA) was performed to test the relation among primary xylem, ground tissue, species growth form and altitude. 3. The results showed that xylem tissue size was closely correlated with ground tissue size isometrically across species, while undergoing significant y- or/and x-intercept shift in response to altitudinal belts. Further, a conspicuous characteristic of terminal shoot was its allocation of contrasting tissues between primary xylem and ground tissues with increasing elevation.
