The country or geographical region of origin is that from which the specimen came, not necessarily its native habitat. If the exact source of the specimen is not known, but the native region is, this is in parentheses. Synonymy is taken from Diniz (1988), Gentry (1973, 1977, 1979, 1980), Perrier de la B§.thie (1938), Sprague (1906), Liben (1977), Van Steenis (1977), and herbarium specimens at Kew. The tribal affinity for each genus is taken from Gentry (1980).

    Plant Pathology Circular No. 303 Fla. Dept. Agric. & Consumer Serv. January 1987 Division of Plant Industry PHYTOPHTHORA ROOT & CROWN ROT OF RADERMACHERA SINICA Robert M. Leahyl Radermachera sinica (Hance) Hemsl., a member of the Bignoniaceae, occurs naturally in India, China, Java, the Celebes and the Phillipine Islands. This plant is a relatively new introduction to the foliage market in Florida and is used most commonly as indoor accent plants. Radermachera sinica is easy to grow and can be propagated by cuttings, marcottage and seed (1). SYMPTOMS: Few diseases are recorded on Radermachera sinica; however, Phytophthora parasitica Dastur, which has a wide host range, can cause a serious root and stem rot. It is also quite aggressive as a damping off disease of Radermachera seedlings. (DPI, Plant Pathology Files, UNPBL.). Phytophthora parasitica infects the young tender roots and stem tissue of seedlings resulting in their collapse and death. Overfertilization and poorly drained/overwatered media can play an important role in predisposing these plants to infection by Phytophthora. Older, more established Radermachera plants can also fall prey to this disease; however, symptoms tend to be less obvious at the initial onset of infection. Infected R. sinica plants eventually become unthrifty and chlorotic. Defoliation occurs as symptoms progress and eventually stems become necrotic. This gives infected plants an overall thin, flagged appearance. Fig. 1. Defoliation, col- lapsed foliage and blight- ed stems are symptoms ex- pressed by the infected Radermachera seedling on the left. (DPI Photo #87131 by Jeffrey W. Lotz). 1Biological Scientist II, Bureau of Plant Pathology, P. O. Box 1269, Gainesville, F1 32602.

GROSE1 and R. G. OLMSTEAD Department of Biology, University of Washington, Box 355325, Seattle, Washington 98195 U.S.A. 1Author for correspondence ([email protected]) Communicating Editor: James F. Smith ABSTRACT. Recent molecular studies have shown Tabebuia to be polyphyletic, thus necessitating taxonomic revision. These revisions are made here by resurrecting two genera to contain segregate clades of Tabebuia. Roseodendron Miranda consists of the two species with spathaceous calices of similar texture to the corolla. Handroanthus Mattos comprises the principally yellow flowered species with an indumentum of hairs covering the leaves and calyx. The species of Handroanthus are also characterized by having extremely dense wood containing copious quantities of lapachol. Tabebuia is restricted to those species with white to red or rarely yellow flowers and having an indumentum of stalked or sessile lepidote scales.

  • Floristic Composition and Edge-Induced Homogenization in Tree Communities in the Fragmented Atlantic Rainforest of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
    Mongabay.com Open Access Journal - Tropical Conservation Science Vol. 9 (2): 852-876, 2016 Research Article Floristic composition and edge-induced homogenization in tree communities in the fragmented Atlantic rainforest of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Oliver Thier1* and Jens Wesenberg2 1 University of Leipzig, Institute for Biology I, Systematic Botany and Functional Biodiversity, Johannisallee 21, 04103 Leipzig, Germany. 2 Senckenberg Museum of Natural History Görlitz, Botany Department, Am Museum 1, 02826 Görlitz, Germany. * Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the changes of tree species composition and diversity along the gradient from fragment edge to interior, and between edge and interior habitats, on a regional scale, in nine Atlantic forest fragments (6–120 ha), in southeastern Brazil. A total of 1980 trees (dbh ≥ 5 cm) comprising 252 species, 156 genera and 57 families were surveyed using the point-centered quarter method. From the fragment edge towards the interior the proportion of shade-tolerant trees increased continuously. The majority of all trees within the first 100 m from the edge belonged to the pioneer-guild. Floristic dissimilarity was found to be higher among interior habitats of different fragments than among the corresponding edge areas or among different small fragments. Species diversity increased along the edge-interior gradient 1.5 times within the first 250 m. Our results support previous findings that the establishment of edge-affected habitats leads to tree species impoverishment and homogenization via the dominance and proliferation of pioneer species in the forest edges of severely fragmented tropical landscapes. We argue that conservation strategies which include the creation of buffer zones between forest edges and the matrix will be more efficient than the establishment of narrow corridors to connect fragments and protected areas.

  • A Quick Guide for Selection of Tree Species for Mass
    for Mass Plantation Drives by, Ketaki Ghate & Manasi Karandikar May 2017 Scientific approach for plantations . India has 18,500 species of flowering plants but we use very few species for plantations . Monoculture i.e. plantation of single species needs to be avoided. It creates greenery on land, but it doesn’t create FOREST ! . So more meaningful way is to do plantations which would mimic forest along with ecological restoration of natural resources like soil, water and biodiversity around it There are five major steps : 1. Know your region : Forest type in your area 2. Assess the status of your land 3. Plan for restoration and plantations : 3.a Protection to land : Conserve soil and moisture, Protect existing habitats 3.b Selection of species & numbers : as per status of soil and resource availability 3.c Seed dispersal 4. Execution : Selection of sapling and Plantation 5. Maintenance 1. Know your region . What is the kind of vegetation or forest in your region. e.g. Dry deciduous, Moist deciduous, Evergreen, Semi arid etc . Find out secondary data that will give an idea about the species growing naturally and easily in your area . But most of the times the original vegetation is lost & area is degraded due to various external pressures . So it is necessary to follow next step ….. 2. Assess your land . Is the soil ready to support plants ? . Plants grow well in fertile soil and even in soft to medium hard murrum but don’t grow well in hard murrum and rocks. But only fine soil is not enough . So check if it has enough organic matter & nutrients and microbes .

In Ayurveda, it is considered as micrometry, Patala, one of the source plant for one variety of Patala i.e. Ghantapatala or it may Radermachera xylocarpa be simply an unauthorized substitute for iti. Review of literature reveals that (Roxb.) Roxb ex. K.schum. flower has not been studied in detail for pharmacognostical characters, which For Correspondence: is an essential parameter for identification of a crude drug. Hence, the present Sneha Kalaskar * study was undertaken with an aim to study the micromorphological and Address: micrometric evaluation of flower of the plant. The variations in microscopic characters of flower can be helpful in identification of authentic drug and MD (Ayu)Scholar, adulterants.
