Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion. -

The vegetation along the roads was disturbed and the erosion started immediately after the disturbance caused by the road construction. Our assumption is that biotechnical measurements should prevent the problems caused by erosion and improve stabilization of road edges. The knowledge of plant species which are able to grow in unfavourable conditions along the roads is important for correct selection of plants used for outplanting. The vegetation succession was observed using phytosociological relevés as a tool of recording and mapping assambblages of plants species along the roads as new linear structures in the landscape. Data from phytosociological relevés were analysed and the succession was characterised in different altitudes. The results can help us to select group of plants (especially shrubs and trees), which are suitable to be used as stabilizing green mantle in various site conditions and for different purposes (anti-erosional, ornamental, protection against noise or dust, etc.). -

A Survey of Himalayan Rangeland Weeds in Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale Area, Eastern Nepal
Nepalese Journal of Biosciences 2: 24-30 (2012) A survey of Himalayan rangeland weeds in Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale area, eastern Nepal Dil Kumar Limbu1*, Madan Koirala2 and Zhanhuan Shang3 1Central Campus of Technology, Dharan, T.U., Nepal 2Central Department of Environmental Science, Kirtipur, T.U., Nepal 3International Centre for Tibetan Plateau Ecosystem Management, Lanzhou University, China *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Eitht common rangeland weeds including Anaphalis contorta, Berberis erythroclada, Euphorbia wallichii, Potentilla lineate, Prunella vulgaris, Pteris aspericaulis, Senecio chrysanthemoides and Swertia pedicellata were recorded from the rangelands of Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale area in the present study, among which Senecio chrysanthemoides and Swertia pedicellata were the most obnoxious species responsible for the habitat degradation for wildlife, reduction in biodiversity, curtailment of forage resources and alternation of ecosystem and functions. The main reason for rapid weed invasion was the lack of awareness of the gravity of situation among the stakeholders hindering adoption of effective weed control measures. Key words: Rangelands, weeds, description, distribution, density, control measures Introduction Rangelands are uncultivated lands that include grasslands, savannas, steppes, shrub-lands, deserts and tundra. The native vegetation of rangelands is predominantly grasses, forbs and shrubs (Kothmann, 1974). The rangelands cover about 40% of the world land, 60% of Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) and 12% of land of Nepal (White et al., 2000; ICIMOD, 2009). The rangelands have supported pastoral livestock production and resources of livelihood in high altitude. It is increasingly recognised that rangeland ecosystems also provide significant services and benefits that go far beyond livestock production. On other hand, rangeland is degrading by unwanted plants, weeds. -

Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Alpine vegetation of the Himalaya is used as food, medicine or fodder, and is commonly managed with fire by agropastoralists. Prescribed fire can have positive effects on rangeland biodiversity, but studies evaluating its effects in alpine shrublands are scarce. Our objective was to examine the effects of anthropogenic fire on biophysical characteristics, species richness, abundance and composition in an alpine shrubland with socioeconomic value to local peoples in Langtang National Park in central Nepal. We surveyed biophysical variables, vascular plant species richness and composition along three transects at ascending elevations, and conducted interviews with local people and park officials on the use of fire in the region. We found 69 species of vascular plants in 89 plots; species richness was greater in burned plots and with increasing elevation, with 13 species unique to burned plots. We identified 14 indicator species in both burned and unburned plots; eight of them were Himalayan endemics. -
A Survey of Floral Structure in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae) and Related Genera
A survey of floral structure in Drypetes Vahl (Putranjivaceae) and related genera J. P Tesh Submitted 20.08.2012 Image from Keay, R.W.J. 1958. Scytopetalaceae - Umbelliferae. In Hutchinson, J., Dalziel, JE, eds . Flora of West Tropical Africa (Revised) Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the MSc in the Biodiversity and Taxonomy of Plants Abstract The pan-tropical Drypetes Vahl is a genus of 225 species of predominantly understorey rain forest trees recently segregated from Euphorbiaceae Juss. s.l . and placed within Putranjivaceae Meisn. with Putranjiva and Sibangea . Generic limits within Putranjivaceae remain unclear, notably between Drypetes and Sibangea . Within Drypetes rates of species discovery are high and yet the genus is somewhat neglected in the literature and many herbarium samples remain undetermined. Using herbarium material, this study examined approximately one third of the known species. Consistent floral characters that separate the three genera in Putranjivaceae are sepal shape, aestivation and persistence; stamen and locule numbers; ovary shape; the form of the stigma and the presence or absence of an intrastaminal nectiferous disk. Drypetes exhibits variability in floral characters: stamen number and placement is notably labile, and locule numbers, stigma and disk shapes are variable. Geographical differences in floral characters emerge, but conclusions are tentative in view of the restricted sampling. Limited phylogenetic studies hypothesise that Sibangea is nested within a clade of African Drypetes which argues for further study of this interesting, but neglected, group. Key words: Malpighiales; Euphorbiaceae; Putranjivaceae; Drypetes ; Sibangea ; Putranjiva ; placement; floral morphology; geographical differences; herbarium collections.

Author for correspondence: Paul E. Berry, [email protected] Abstract Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce contains around 600 species and includes the largest New World radiation within the Old World-centered genus Euphorbia. It is one of the few plant lineages to include members with C3, C4 and CAM photosyn- thesis, showing multiple adaptations to warm and dry habitats. The subgenus includes North American-centered groups that were previously treated at various taxonomic ranks under the names of “Agaloma ”, “Poinsettia ”, and “Chamaesyce ”. Here we provide a well-resolved phylogeny of Euphorbia subg. Chamaesyce using nuclear ribosomal ITS and chloroplast ndhF sequences, with substantially increased taxon sampling compared to previous studies. Based on the phylogeny, we discuss the Old World origin of the subgenus, the evolution of cyathial morphology and growth forms, and then provide a formal sectional classification, with descriptions and species lists for each section or subsection we recognize. -

Encyclopedia of Kimilsungia
1 Preface Love of flower is a noble trait peculiar to man. Flower brings fragrance, emotion and beauty to people. That is why they love it, and hope to live beautifully and pure-heartedly like it. At the same time, they express their wish and desire, happiness and hope by means of it, and want to bring their life into full bloom, picturing themselves in it. Kimilsungia, which was named by Sukarno, the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, reflecting the desire of the progressive people of the world, is loved by mankind not only because it is beautiful but also it is symbolic of the greatness of President Kim Il Sung. The editorial board issues Encyclopedia of Kimilsungia in reflection of the unanimous will of the Korean people and the world’s progressive people who are desirous to bloom Kimilsungia more beautifully and propagate it more widely on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung. The book introduces in detail how Kimilsungia came into being in the world, its propagation, Kimilsungia festivals and exhibitions held in Korea and foreign countries every year, events held on the occasion of the anniversary of the naming of the flower, and its biological features and cultivating techniques the Korean botanists and growers have studied and perfected. And edited in the book are the typical literary works depicting Kimilsungia and some of gift plants presented to President Kim Il Sung by foreign countries. In addition, common knowledge of flower is compiled. The editorial board hopes this book will be a help to the flower lovers and people of other countries of the world who are eager to know and grow Kimilsungia.
