    Chapter 6 ENUMERATION . ENUMERATION The spermatophytic plants with their accepted names as per The Plant List [http://www.theplantlist.org/ ], through proper taxonomic treatments of recorded species and infra-specific taxa, collected from Gorumara National Park has been arranged in compliance with the presently accepted APG-III (Chase & Reveal, 2009) system of classification. Further, for better convenience the presentation of each species in the enumeration the genera and species under the families are arranged in alphabetical order. In case of Gymnosperms, four families with their genera and species also arranged in alphabetical order. The following sequence of enumeration is taken into consideration while enumerating each identified plants. (a) Accepted name, (b) Basionym if any, (c) Synonyms if any, (d) Homonym if any, (e) Vernacular name if any, (f) Description, (g) Flowering and fruiting periods, (h) Specimen cited, (i) Local distribution, and (j) General distribution. Each individual taxon is being treated here with the protologue at first along with the author citation and then referring the available important references for overall and/or adjacent floras and taxonomic treatments. Mentioned below is the list of important books, selected scientific journals, papers, newsletters and periodicals those have been referred during the citation of references.

The present study was aimed to document the traditional ethnobotanical knowledge in Komkar-Adi Biocultural Landscape of Upper Siang District in Arunachal Pradesh (Eastern Himalaya), India. Data was collected from three villages of Geku circle, Upper Siang District between the year 2016-2019, covering more than 50% of the total households using semi-structured questionnaires, personal interviews, focused group discussions and transect walk with the core respondents. A total of 301 taxa falling in 203 genera and 85 families are recorded from the Komkar-Adi Biocultural Landscape (KABL), invariably used as food, medicine and cultural materials which is directly and indirectly linked with livelihood security, community survival, protection and preservation of the traditional culture and nature. Use value (UV) of all the reported species ranges between 0.017 and 0.051.

The rich flora and dense vegetation a.most in all regions of the state provide numerous such edible plants. The people of Tangsa tribal community living in the Kharsan Circle of Changlang district of Arunachal Pradesh. A study among them led to the record of 51 species of wild plants of which 36 species are dicotyledonous, 13 are monocotyledonous and one species each from gymnosperms and pteridophytes. These are dominated by herbaceous plants and leaves and leafy-young shoots are the most preferred plants parts to eat. While majority of the plant parts they consume after cooking, they also prepare chatneys and pickles. While just one plant part is eaten for 45 species, three parts (leaves, strobilus and seeds) of Gnetum gnemon and two parts of five other species (Begonia roxburghii, Calamus tenuis, Physalis minima, Salacca secunda and Spondias pennata) are edible. In addition to their food value, some of these plants are also used as medicine, for thatching, handicrafts, etc.

Box 7 (Unioninkatu 44), FI-00014, Finland) Abstract Since the initial description, the name Musa aurantiaca Baker (1893) has been unclear to most botanists. The aim of this study is to settle its true identity and to update the description. The plant is distributed in the regions of Upper Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, India, Northern Myanmar and Tibet, China where it occurs commonly but it is not mentioned in Chinese literature at all. In this paper, the authors also review the description and the literature history of M. aurantiaca from 1893 to the present. Musa aurantiaca Baker is typified here. Key words Musa, Musa aurantiaca, Musaceae, Southeast Asia, wild banana. Musa aurantiaca was described by John Gilbert India. He collected several Musa L. specimens and Baker based on a specimen collected by a German sent them to Herrenhausen and Kew. Musa aurantiaca botanist Gustav Mann in 1889 at Assam (Baker, was also introduced to horticulture in the United 1893). The description was based on a Wendland’s Kingdom in 1894 but it fell into oblivion at the herbarium (Herrenhausen Botanic Garden, Hanover, beginning of the 20th century.

Box 7, Helsinki, FI-00014 (Finland) henry.vare@helsinki.fi Häkkinen M. & Väre H. 2008. — Typifi cation and check-list of Musa L. names (Musaceae) with nomenclatural notes. Adansonia, sér. 3, 30 (1) : 63-112. ABSTRACT Th e published Musa L. names are listed and typifi cations are considerably sup- plemented. Typifi cation of the names belonging to other genera of Musaceae is beyond the scope of the present study. All the synonyms discovered are also given. Altogether, 439 names were found. Of those, 110 are illegitimate and 134 are obvious “cultivars” or dubious names presented in seven publica- tions describing mainly “variants” of cultivated bananas, viz. M. ×paradisiaca, M. sapidisiaca and M. sapientum. Of the 170 dubious names, Blanco (1837) described 17, Hubert (1907) fi ve (all illegitimate), Gillet (1909) 28 (all ille- gitimate), Teodoro (1915) 10, Quisumbing (1919) 17 and Jacob (1952) 64 names. Th e names (24) by De Wildeman (1920) and de Briey, in the same book, are lectotypifi ed through illustrations. Th ose names represent cultivars. Of the remaining Musa names 32 represent Ensete, Musella and one Heliconia. Altogether, 26 names, Ensete excluded, could not be typifi ed due to the lack of original material. Th ese names remain obscure, as the descriptions do not allow identifi cation.

Email: [email protected] (Manuscript received 29 March 2013; accepted 30 November 2013) ABSTRACT: In the present study Musa indandamanensis L. J. Singh is described and illustrated as a new species from Little Andaman, the Bay Islands, India. KEY WORDS: Bay Islands, India, Little Andaman, Musa indandamanensis, new species. INTRODUCTION Little Andaman, the author has collected some interesting specimens of wild banana. After critical The genus Musa L. (Linnaeus, 1753) belongs to the examination, consultation of herbaria specimens and family Musaceae; which includes two other genera viz. literatures, the author has concluded that the species Ensete Bruce ex Horaninow (1862) and Musella could be described as novelty. Hence a new species (Franchet) Wu (1978). Wild Musa species are largely Musa indandamanensis L. J. Singh is described and distributed in some tropical rainforests, wet evergreen illustrated by completing the entire INIBAP Musa forests to deciduous forests of low rain fall zones.

Its genetic diversity spread across northeastern Andaman Island. states, Western Ghats, and Andaman and Nicobar In addition, seed germination was conducted at Islands (Roxburgh, 1832; Kurz, 1867; Hooker, 1892; Dhannikhari Experimental Garden Cum Arboretum Jacob, 1952; Prain, 1904; Duthie, 1960; Gamble, 1967; (DEGCA), Botanical Survey of India, Andaman and Hore et al., 1992; Singh and Uma, 2000; Daniel and Nicobar Regional Centre.
