15 Appendix.Pdf BIOVIGYANAM 4 : 43-51, 1978, Taxonomic Value of the lhe Lower Glume of the Sessile Spikelet in the Genus Arthraxon P. Beauv. from Maharashtra State* V. D. VARTAK & VINAYA GHATE I\ Department of Botany, Maharashlra Association for the Cultivation of Science-Research f11stitult', Pune 41 I 004, India. ABSTRACT This is an attempt to delimit tho variou' spocio1 of tho genus Arthraxv11 P. Beauv. Morpho­ loaY of lower aJumo of senile spikelet appaars to provide a reliable taxonomic character for the delimitation of various 1poclos. Tho sizo, ornamentation, position of vein•, apex and margins of &Iume have boon proved to bo tbo most U\oful characters in the identification of various taxa. An artificial key b~od exclusively on the glumo characters for the identification of I 7 species of genus Arthraxon P. Beauv. occurring in Western Mahara~htra has been given. INTRODUCTION Genus Arthraxon P. Beauv. is a noteworthy taxon in ·the family Poaceae on account of its geographical distribution and variability in habitat situations. From amongst the 25 s.peeies of this genus reported from the Indian subcontinent, about 65% are indi­ genous to hilly reglons of Mahara<Jhtra. Out of the~e 10 are endemic to Maharashtra. Though most of the species of Arthraxon P. Beauv. have poor food value, their occurrence in different environs ha<J. made them notable in the study of ecological succe­ s~ions and their identification has become imperative. Some of the workers who have referred to Arthraxon P. Beauv. from the area under consideration are Hooker (1896; six species), Cooke (1901 - J908; six species), Blatter and· McCann ( 1935; six species), Bor (1960; nine species) and Jain (1972; thirteen species). Oar observations on this aonas revealed that lowermost floral glome of the sessile spikelet exhibits unique foaturos which coaJd be used as key characters for differential­ ins various species of tho taxon. While in tho available Hter.-!ture the above unique cheracter.i are occasionally used a41 dir.gnost!c features, we have formulated a key bMed exclusively oh the morphology of the lower glume of the sessile spikelet. • The article was presented at the Symposium on Contribution' to Botany, held during Silver Jubilee Celebrations of the Botany Department of the Poona University in January 1978. 43 V. D. VARTAK & VINAYA GHATE MATERIALS AND METHODS The present work is based on the material of 12 species available in the M.A.C.S. herbarium. Voucher specimens of 5 species have been procured from the herbarium of the Botanical Survey of India, Western Circle, Pune. Special efforts were made to collect different species of Arthraxon P. Beauv. during our routine tours to various parts of Maharashtra. The material collected was processed by usual methods and preserved in MACS herbarium. Lower floral glumes of the sessile spikelet of various species of Arthraxon P. Beauv. were mounted on black glossy sheets for comparative study. Semi­ permanent ~lides in glycetine jelly were prepared for critical study. A Jist of voucher specimens referred from the area under study is given below. The species are arranged alphabetically. References to available literature, general distri­ bution and citation of the voucher specimens are also given. 1. Artbrnon deccanensis Jain in J. Bombay Nat. Hist.

  • The High Deccan Duricrusts of India and Their Significance for the 'Laterite
    The High Deccan duricrusts of India and their significance for the ‘laterite’ issue Cliff D Ollier1 and Hetu C Sheth2,∗ 1School of Earth and Geographical Sciences, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, W.A. 6009, Australia. 2Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400 076, India. ∗e-mail: [email protected] In the Deccan region of western India ferricrete duricrusts, usually described as laterites, cap some basalt summits east of the Western Ghats escarpment, basalts of the low-lying Konkan Plain to its west, as well as some sizeable isolated basalt plateaus rising from the Plain. The duricrusts are iron-cemented saprolite with vermiform hollows, but apart from that have little in common with the common descriptions of laterite. The classical laterite profile is not present. In particular there are no pisolitic concretions, no or minimal development of con- cretionary crust, and the pallid zone, commonly assumed to be typical of laterites, is absent. A relatively thin, non-indurated saprolite usually lies between the duricrust and fresh basalt. The duricrust resembles the classical laterite of Angadippuram in Kerala (southwestern India), but is much harder. The High Deccan duricrusts capping the basalt summits in the Western Ghats have been interpreted as residuals from a continuous (but now largely destroyed) laterite blan- ket that represents in situ transformation of the uppermost lavas, and thereby as marking the original top of the lava pile. But the unusual pattern of the duricrusts on the map and other evidence suggest instead that the duricrusts formed along a palaeoriver system, and are now in inverted relief.
