Punjab ENVIS Centre NEWSLETTER Vol. 11, No. 4, 2013-14 INVASIVE ALIEN PLANT SPECIES IN PUNJAB l Inform ta at n io e n m S Status of Environment & Related Issues n y o s r t i e v m n E www.punenvis.nic.in INDIA EDITORIAL The World Conservation Union (IUCN) defines alien invasive species as organisms that become established in native ecosystems or habitats, proliferate, alter, and threaten native biodiversity. These aliens come in the form of plants, animals and microbes that have been introduced into an area from other parts of the world, and have been able to displace indigenous species. Invasive alien species are emerging as one of the major threats to sustainable development, on a par with global warming and the destruction of life-support systems. Increased mobility and human interaction have been key drivers in the spread of Indigenous Alien Species. Invasion by alien species is a global phenomenon, with threatening negative impacts to the indigenous biological diversity as well as related negative impacts on human health and overall his well-being. Thus, threatening the ecosystems on the earth. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) found that trends in species introductions, as well as modelling predictions, strongly suggest that biological invasions will continue to increase in number and impact. An additional concern is that multiple human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems will decrease the natural biotic resistance to invasions and, therefore, the number of biotic communities dominated by invasive species will increase. India one of the 17 "megadiverse" countries and is composed of a diversity of ecological habitats like forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems, and desert ecosystems have been reported with 40 percent of alien flora species and 25 percent out of them invasive by National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resource.

Entomological Nomenclature Literature
ENTOMOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE AND LITERATURE 3rd Edition Revised and Enlarged By W. J. CHAMBERLIN Oreqon State CoUeqe WM. C. BROWN COMPANY DUBUQUE. IOWA ENTOMOLOGICAL NOMENCLA TURE AND LITERATURE Copyright 1952 by W J . Chamberlin Manufactured by WM C. BROWN CO., INC., Dubuque, Iowa Prlnled In U.S.A. PREFACE In attempting to teach courses dealing with various phases of entomology over a period of 30 years, there has been an increasing tendency to separate course work into more and more restricted fields. Much of the material presented herewith is given by various instructors in connection with courses in historical entomology, taxonomy, etc., and, in such courses, it is usually treate d only briefly and in an incidental manner. Nomenclature is of sufficient importance that it should be treated directly and with con s iderable emphasis. Its importance, development and historical background should be understood by every student in entomology. Literature is, of course, the basis from which all present-day workers get their inspira tion, and the literature in the field of entomology is so extensive that one must handle it in a systematic manner. It has been the hope of the writer that, by pointing out those works where bibliographies are obtainable, the task of obtaining information on any given phase of entomology would be made an easier one. When late works are available which contain extensive bibliographies, such as Wiggles worth, Principles of Insect Physiology, or Snodgrass, Principles of Insect Morphology, the student is referred to those works, and from the bibliographies he will be able to select those applicable to the problem at hand.

Specimens Pseudo-Acmella L., Zeyl
Nomenclatural changes in Spilanthes and Blainvillea with remarks and a key to the species of Spilanthes in the Malay Archipelago by Joséphine+Th. Koster (Rijksherbarium, Leiden) nd W.R. Philipson Nat. ;i (British Mus. Hist., London). (Issued 3. IV. 1950). There has been considerable confusion over the name Verbesina pseudo- acmella and V. acmella published by Linnaeus in the Species Plantarum (1753, p. 901). He applied these names to definitions taken from his earlier Flora 308 and with one work, Zeylanica (1748, p. 144, 145, nos. 309), only shows that unimportant alteration. The title page of the Flora Zeylanica the book is intended as an account of Hermann’s plants, and this is con- the firmed for the two species concerned by the close agreement between Herbarium descriptions published and the specimens in Hermann’s pre- served in the Department of Botany of the British Museum. These two Linnean species must, therefore, be interpreted by reference to Hermann’s specimens, regardless of the fact that figures cited by Linnaeus in the synonymy of each species (viz. Seba, Thesaur. 1, t. 10, 11; Plukenet, Alm. the which has been known t. 159, f. 4) are of plant generally as Spilanthes acmella. In 1888, Trimen published notes on Hermann’s Herbarium (Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. (Bot.) vol. 24, p. 129); he identified the specimens representing these two species as follows: No. 308, Verbesina pseudo-acmella, of as possibly a young specimen Wedelia biflora DC.; and No. 309, Ver- DC. besina acmella, as Blainvillea latifolia A drawing included in the As herbarium he identified as “Spilanthes acmella”.

The seagrass Cymodocea nodosa, the zoantharian Palythoa canariense, the opisthobranchs Dolabrifera dolabrifera, Elysia viridis, Marionia blainvillea, Thecacera pennigera, Polycera guadrilineata, GIossodoris edmunsii, Discodoris fragilis, the pulmonate Onchidella cf. celtica, and the polychaete Lygdamis murata are recorded from the coastal waters of Madeira for the first time. For L. murata this is a southward extension of the known range. For P. canariense, D. dolabrifera, and D. fragilis, this is a northward extension of the known range. The nudibranch M. blainvillea had previously been considered endemic for the Mediterranean Sea. In the Eastern Atlantic, the coastal waters of Madeira are the northern limit of distribution for many tropical species. WIRTZ,PETER 1995.

XII. 1970 Studies in the Identification of Compositae Taxa by Paper Chromatography By Krishna Mohan Madan DAKSHINI & PBITHIPAL SINGH *) With 1 Figure Received September 25, 1969 Introduction Paper Chromatographie techniques have recently been used for identi- fication of various plant taxa (RILEY & BRYANT 1961; ELLISON et al. 1962; TORRES & LEVIN 1964; TURNER & MABRY 1964). However, for Compositae, one of the largest dicotyledonous angiosperm taxon, such data is not available. Further, Compositae are a well defined and a closely inter-related family in which "the taxa tend to be founded on slighter differences than in other families" (SMALL 1917). Prompted by these, the present chemo- taxonomic investigation of Compositae of Delhi State (with special reference to the tribe Heliantheae) was undertaken to elicit information from bio- chemical compounds for identification purposes. Organic compounds like, etheral oil, sesqueterpeulactone, diterpene, sterine, paraffine, saponine, carotinoids, wadelolactone, patulitrin, acetylene- polyene, alkaloids, cyanogen derivatives, aurones, chalcones, flavones, phenolic derivatives, sugars, organic acids, etc., have been reported to occur in Compositae taxa (PURI & SESHADRI 1954; BANNERJEE & SESHADRI 1956; GOVINDACHARI et al. 1956; SESHADRI & THAKUR 1960; HEGNAUER 1964). However, none of these compounds have been studied from the taxonomic viewpoint.

Six treatments were used: 1,200 (3.33 x 2.5 m), 1,600 (2.5 x 2.5 m), 2,000 (2.0 x 2.5 m), 2,400 (1.67 x 2.5 m), 2,800 (1.43 x 2.5 m) and 3,200 (1.25 x 2.5 m) banana plants per hectare, arranged in an experimental design of randomized blocks with four replications. The phytosociological study of weed communities was carried out one month after transplanting and then every 90 days, totaling six samples in 16 months of cultivation, always those being held 15 days after mowing. With the data of dry mass and number of individuals per species Relative density (De.R) Relative frequency (Fr.R) Relative dominance (Do.R), importance value value (IVI) of weed communities were calculated. Forty-three 43 species of weeds associated with the crop were identified, especially in the early stages of culture, of species such as Panicum maximum and nut grass.
