No.: THAPATHALI, KATHMANDU FOREWORD Nepal is a rich in natural resources with geographic and climatic diversity which culminates into a great diversity of flora and fauna including endemic flora and fauna. Nepal is one of the important places for scientists, naturalists and researchers in unveiling natural treasures. The Department of Plant Resources (DPR) is engaged in developing new methods and technique in plant resources in conservation, sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits to enhance livelihood of rural people. Since its establishment in 2016 B.S., this department has been involved in plant exploration, taxonomical identification, ecological studies, mycology, anatomy, ethnobotany, biotechnology ,study of active chemical constituents, biological activity of active ingredients, bio-prospecting etc. With our long time dedication and expertise, we have been successful in bringing out the valuable publications such as local flora, fascicles, checklists, MSDS of MAPs and catalogues of flowering as well as non-flowering plants of Nepal. In addition to this department has developed generic guidelines for Good Agriculture Practices (GAP) and Good Cultivation Practices (GCP) of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MAPs) as national standard. The department also conducts phytochemical screening researches for bio-prospecting of unexplored plant of Nepal. Being one of the parties to the Convention on Biological diversity 1992, Nepal Biodiversity Strategy and Action plan 2014-2020 has given emphasis on the publication of all the volumes of Nepal Flora by 2020. Volume 3 and companion volume to the Flora of Nepal have already been published in collaboration with Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, UK, Society of Himalayan Botany, Japan, Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) and Central Department of Botany, Tribhuvan University. Furthermore emphasis is given to the accreditation of laboratories of DPR. The laboratory accreditation is in the process and first assessment of laboratory has been carried out by National Accreditation Body for Testing and Calibration Laboratory (NABL), India. For dissemination of information on the activities, we conduct seminar, workshops, interactions, publish newsletters and scientific bulletins. I hope the present bulletin of Plant Resource will provide adequate materials to the interested readers, researchers, students and concerned stakeholders. I would like to thank the painstaking efforts of all the paper contributors, editorial board members, reviewers and staffs of Publicity and Documentation Section of DPR to bring out this publication in this form. ……………………………. Rajdev Prasad Yadav Director General April 2016 Editorial We are pleased to bring out the present issue of Plant Resource “Bull.Dept.Pl.Res.No. 38”, a continuation of research publication by Department of Plant Resources (DPR). The issue carries a score of peer reviewed articles based on original research. Since this publication intends to highlight on the scope and objectives of our Department, we are aware that the publication should accommodate as many articles as possible so that it represents the work of DPR. And at the same time we are also aware of the need to produce the scientific quality and integrity of the research articles. 20 articles have been incorporated in this issue under different categories like systematic botany, ethnobotanical study, floristic survey, ecology, biotechnology, study of the effect of active chemical constituents of plants on the live animals and biological study (Microbiological). This issue also includes a special article on Endemic Flowering Plants of Nepal. Nepal is rich not only in floristic and faunal diversity but also on endemism due to its phytogeographical diversity. We encourage our scientists to pursue quality research and contribute to build scientific knowledge on phytochemical screening and pharmaceutical researches for bio-prospecting of unexplored plant of Nepal . The reviewers of the articles published here have contributed much of their knowledge and time to justify the quality of research articles. We heartily thank them all. We duely acknowledge the contribution of contributors for their interest in publishing their valued work in this publication and looking forward to further cooperation and collaboration with other scientific institution. We value the comments and opinion of our contributors and readers. We apologize in advance for any lapses in this issue and at the same time promise to improve the future issues based on your valued input. Revised checklist to the mycotaxa proposed from Nepal M. K. Adhikari GPO Box no. 21758, Kathmandu, Nepal [email protected] Abstract The proposed mycotaxa accumulated since the works of Berkely (1854) from Nepal are revised based on 156 published papers for their endemism.The papers record about 5 monotypic taxa and 203 species of mycobiota gathered from different regions of Nepalese Himalayan belt. At present, the list shows 131 endemic species. Among them the nomenclature of 120 taxa remains as proposed, while 11 species have undergone synonyms. Sixtyfour species have been recorded to occure in other countries.Two taxa remains invalid. Key words : Endemic taxa, distribution, synonyms, Nepal Himalaya Introduction Nepal Himalaya has been considered as centre for Several papers on the newly proposed mycotaxa origin, appearance and dominance of number of have accumulated since the works of Berkeley mycobiota and their distribution pattern between (1854) gathered in different regons of Nepalese high and low altitude forms, the present number of Himalayan belts. Many mycobiota still await their species is 10 times smaller in comparison to India discovery. Revision is sough necessary in time to (Adhikari 1990ab, 2000, 2009, 2014a). Yet the time as there is much change in taxonomic mycoflora Nepal serves as a connecting link with treatments of the taxa. (Adhikari, 1992, 2009). A Sino-Japanese, Western and Central Asiatic, North glimpse to the proposed taxa can be found in the East American, partly North African and mostly literatures like: ‘History of mycological explorations Indian subcontinent. The eastern sector shows some in Nepal’ (Adhikari, 1990), Adhikari (1992), of the flora characteristic to South-East Asia, while Berkeley (1839, 1847), ‘Cryptogams of the the rest shows their affinity with the North- West Himalayas’ vol. 3: Pakistan and Nepal’ (1995 – see Himalayan elements.

    Plant Archives Vol. 14 No. 1, 2014 pp. 87-96 ISSN 0972-5210 AN UPDATED ACCOUNT OF THE NAME CHANGES OF THE DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE VOL: I (1934- 36) & VOL: II (1938) OF “FLORA OF ASSAM” Rajib Lochan Borah Department of Botany, D.H.S.K. College, Dibrugarh - 786 001 (Assam), India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Changes in botanical names of flowering plants are an issue which comes up from time to time. While there are valid scientific reasons for such changes, it also creates some difficulties to the floristic workers in the preparation of a new flora. Further, all the important monumental floras of the world have most of the plants included in their old names, which are now regarded as synonyms. In north east India, “Flora of Assam” is an important flora as it includes result of pioneering floristic work on Angiosperms & Gymnosperms in the region. But, in the study of this flora, the same problems of name changes appear before the new researchers. Therefore, an attempt is made here to prepare an updated account of the new names against their old counterpts of the plants included in the first two volumes of the flora, on the basis of recent standard taxonomic literatures. In this, the unresolved & controversial names are not touched & only the confirmed ones are taken into account. In the process new names of 470 (four hundred & seventy) dicotyledonous plant species included in the concerned flora are found out. Key words : Name changes, Flora of Assam, Dicotyledonus plants, floristic works.

  • Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam
    Taiwania, 48(3): 139-146, 2003 Orchidaceous Additions to the Floras of China and Vietnam Paul Ormerod(1) (Manuscript received 17 April, 2003; accepted 6 May, 2003) ABSTRACT: Literature and herbarium studies of Chinese and Vietnamese orchids have revealed a variety of new and noteworthy data pertinent to the floras of China and Vietnam. Three new combinations are proposed, viz, Bhutanthera humidicola, Odontochilus saprophyticus and Peristylus garrettii. Three new species are proposed, viz. Epigeneium mimicum, Podochilus banaensis and P. oxystophylloides. KEY WORDS: Orchidaceae, Additions, China, Vietnam. The present paper is mainly the result of herbarium and literature studies made at the Harvard University Herbaria (A, AMES, GH). Most of the Chinese materials examined were collected in the 1930’s, an era that was one of the high points of Sino-American botanical cooperation in the twentieth century. Vietnamese specimens on the other hand are poorly represented at Harvard and these mostly consist of duplicates made by French collectors, a small collection made by Chinese collectors in North Vietnam and an important set formed by Joseph and Mary Strong Clemens during their visit to South Vietnam in 1927.

    Habitat and landscape factors influence pollinators in a tropical megacity, Bangkok, Thailand Supplemental Table S2. Detailed information about the 140 plant taxa observed in this study. Taxa are sorted alphabetically by family and then species name. Frequency refers to the number of 2x2 m plots in which each plant taxa was encountered. Pollinator richness and pollinator abundance indicate the average number of pollinator species and pollinator individuals, respectively, recorded at each plant taxa during the 15-minute observation period. We do no have pollinator richness and abundance values for some plant taxa (“NA”) because they only occurred in plots with other plant species, and we did not separate the pollinator data by plant species in multi-species plots. Therefore, we only have pollinator richness and abundance values for plant taxa that were observed in a single- species plot at least once. Distribution information was obtained from the Catalogue of Life website (http://www.catalogueoflife.org; accessed May 2018): native – listed as native in Thailand or Southeast Asia; exotic – listed as introduced in Thailand or Southeast Asia; unclear – distribution data is not clear (e.g., listed as native in certain neighboring countries, but no information reported for Thailand); no info – no distribution information listed at all.

Antidiabetic principles from five plants were isolated. All the compounds isolated were evaluated for antihyperglycemic activity in streptozotocin induced diabetic rat model and activities were compared with standard drug metformin. Some compounds were also screened in db/db mice. Two compounds (PP-1 and PP-2) inhibited significantly the activity of PTPase-1B in an in vitro system.

Square plot of 10m×10m size quadrat were laid for covering all forest areas and maintained minimum 40m distance between two quadrats. Altogether 68 plots (34 in each forest) were sampled. Both community forests had nearly same altitudinal range, aspect and slope but differed in different environmental variables and members of management committees. All the species present in quadrate and as well as outside the quadrate were recorded for analysis. There were 213 species of flowering plant belonging to 67 families and 182 genera. Barangdi-Kohal JM community forest had high species richness i.e. 176 species belonging to 64 families and 150 genera as compared to Bansa-Gopal WM community forest with 143 species belonging to 56 families and 129 genera. According to different life forms and family and genus wise jointly managed forest have high species richness than in women managed forest. Both community forests are banned for fodder, fuel wood and timber collection without permission of management comities. There is restriction of grazing in JM forest, whereas no restriction of grazing in WM forest.
