New Species of Schizostachyum (Poaceae–Bambusoideae) from the Andaman Islands, India
BLUMEA 48: 187–192 Published on 7 April 2003 doi: 10.3767/000651903X686169 NEW SPECIES OF SCHIZOSTACHYUM (POACEAE–BAMBUSOIDEAE) FROM THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS, INDIA MUKTESH KUMAR & M. REMESH Botany Division, Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi 680-653, Trichur, Kerala, India SUMMARY Two new species of Schizostachyum Nees: S. andamanicum and S. kalpongianum, are described and illustrated. Key words: Schizostachyum, Andaman Islands, India. INTRODUCTION During the revisionary studies on Indian bamboos the authors could undertake a survey in the Andaman Islands. Five species of bamboos, namely Bambusa atra, Dinochloa an- damanica, Gigantochloa andamanica, Bambusa schizostachyoides, and Schizostachyum rogersii have so far been reported from the Andaman Islands (Munro, 1868; Gamble, 1896; Brandis, 1906; Parkinson, 1921). As a result of exploring different parts of the is lands two interesting bamboos were collected. Critical examination revealed that they belonged to the genus Schizostachyum Nees and hitherto undescribed. The genus Schizostachyum was described by Nees in 1829 based on Schizostachyum blumei. This genus is represented by about 45–50 species distributed in tropical and sub- tropical Asia from southern China throughout the Malaysian region, extending to the Pacific islands with the majority of species in Malaysia (Dransfield, 1983, 2000; Ohrnberger, 1999; Wong, 1995). The genus is characterised by sympodial rhizomes; erect or straggling thin-walled culms; many branches of the same length arising from the node; indeterminate inflores cence; absence of glumes in the spikelets; presence of lodicules; slender ovary with long, glabrous stiff style which is hollow around a central strand of tissue; anthers usu- ally with blunt apex. The bamboos collected from the Andaman Islands have straggling culms and are similar to Schizostachyum gracile (Munro) Holttum in certain characters but differ in several other characters. -

10th World Bamboo Congress, Korea 2015 Genetic Diversity and Phylogenetic relationship among accessions of Drepanostachyum falcatum (Nees) Keng f. from the Garhwal Himalayas Chandrakant Tiwari* and Meena Bakshi Plant Physiology Discipline, Botany Division, Forest Research Institute, Dehradun-248006 (Uttarakhand), India Email: [email protected] * corresponding author Abstract:. This study assessed the genetic diversity of 10 accessions of Drepanostachyum falcatum collected from different localities in the Garhwal Himalayas, Uttarakhand, India , in the Hill bamboo germplasm collectionin Khirsu , using isozyme markers with four enzyme system (peroxidase, esterase, malate dehydrogenase and malic enzyme). Isozymatic analyses were performed with polyacrylamide gels (one system), bands were scored as binary data. Cluster analyses were conducted, using Jaccard´s similarity coefficient and UPGMA method. Very high degree of similarity was reported i.e. 63- 94% among different accessions. Dendrogram revealed two major clusters with three (A8- A10) and seven (A1- A7) accessions respectively. The results obtained suggested low genetic diversity in the species and urgent need of the in situ conservation of the natural genetic resources of the D. falcatum species. Key words: Genetic diversity; isozymes; polyacrylamide; Jaccard’s coefficient Introduction: Genetic conservation programmes are directed towards the long-term preservation of genetic resources either in situ or ex situ so that the potential for continuing evolution or improvement could be sustained. In situ conservation includes the organization and/ or servicing of natural supplies where species are permitted to stay in maximum environments with the lowest of management. On the other hand, ex situ conservation includes the use of botanic landscapes, field farms, seeds shops and gene banks and germplasm. -

Bamboos in Manual of Afforestation in Nepal
MANUAL OF AFFORESTATION IN NEPAL J. K. Jackson Silviculturist, Forestry Research Project with sections on Bamboos by C.M.A. Stapleton and Daphne by J.—P. Jeanrenaud Nepal-United Kingdom Forestry Research Project Forest Survey and Research Office Department of Forest Kathmandu, Nepal 1987 Bamboos Gramineae by C.M.A. Stapleton Occurrence and importance Until recently little was known about the identity, distribution, and uses in Nepal of the different species of bamboo. The standard reference, Gamble (1896), is not at all adequate for identification purposes in Nepal, and the herbarium specimens available are not well determined. This is understandab1e as Nepal has not been adequately covered by bamboo taxonomists in the past, and also as accurate identification of bamboo specimens requires both flowers and vegetative material. As most bamboos do not flower frequently and many species drop all their leaves and culm sheaths when they do flower, these are not usually available together, so that specimens are fragmentary. A few publications have named species from Nepal, but these have often been more guesswork than accurate identification. However, Seeland (1980) studied the names and uses of the seven bamboo species known near a village in east Nepal and successfully identified the five most important. Acharya (1975) wrote a sensible feasibility study of bamboo as the basis of cottage industry expansion in central Nepal without attempting specific identification. He used the three categories into which bamboo species are most commonly grouped in Nepali: bans, nigalo, and malingo. These three groups probably constituted a more rational taxonomy at that time than the official genera. -

THE BAMBOOS of NEPAL and BHUTAN PART III: Drepanostachyum, Himalayacalamus, Ampelocalamus, Neomicrocalamus and Chimonobambusa (Gramineae: Poaceae, Bambusoideae)
EDINB. J. BOT. 51(3): 301–330 (1994) THE BAMBOOS OF NEPAL AND BHUTAN PART III: Drepanostachyum, Himalayacalamus, Ampelocalamus, Neomicrocalamus and Chimonobambusa (Gramineae: Poaceae, Bambusoideae) C. M. A. S TAPLETON * This paper completes the systematic treatment of the bamboos of Nepal and Bhutan, covering five genera from subtropical to lower temperate zones. Three further genera from the subtribe Arundinariinae Bentham are included: Drepanostachyum Keng f., Himalayacalamus Keng f., and Ampelocalamus Chen, Wen & Sheng . They have semelauctant ebracteate inflorescences, pachymorph rhizomes, and 3 stamens. Neomicrocalamus Keng f. has semel- auctant bracteate inflorescences and 6 stamens, and is in the new subtribe described here, Racemobambosinae. Chimonobambusa Makino has bracteate inflorescences and 3 stamens and is the only Himalayan genus in the subtribe Shibataeinae (Nakai) Soderstrom & Ellis. A new Drepanostachyum species from Bhutan is described as D. annulatum. Himalayacalamus , which was originally described as a monotypic genus, is enlarged by the description of five new species, H. asper , H. brevinodus , H. cupreus , H. fimbriatus , and H. porcatus , all from Nepal. A Himalayan representative of the genus Ampelocalamus , A. patellaris , is transferred from Dendrocalamus. Neomicrocalamus andro- pogonifolius from eastern Bhutan is transferred from Bambusa . STATUS AND S EPARATION OF THE G ENERA These genera have all been considered to be part of Arundinaria Michaux at one time. The type species of the genera Drepanostachyum Keng f. , Ampelocalamus Chen, Wen & Sheng, Neomicrocalamus Keng f., and Chimonobambusa Makino were originally described as species of Arundinaria Michaux, while the type species of Himalayacalamus was initially described as a species of Thamnocalamus Munro, before being transferred into Arundinaria . -
