Introduction A perusal of literature reveals that a number of Study area workers have investigated various aspects of Udaya means morning and giri means peak of Indian floristics. Brandis (1883) gave an hill. Udayagiri translated as the peak on which account of distribution of forests in India. A morning sunlight falls first. Udayagiri is a very exhaustive account of hundred years of village and a Mandal in Nellore district in the Indian forestry was given by Rao (1961). An state of Andhra Pradesh in India. Udayagiri hill illustrated account of flowering trees and ranges lay between 14 052 10” North, 79 019 10” shrubs in India was published by Cowen East. It has an average elevation of 230 (1965). meters (757 feet). Thetype of vegetation is Dry deciduous forests according to Champion and Flora of some parts of Andhra Pradesh is Seth (1968). The Udayagiri Hills is the main known right from William Roxburgh (1795- tourist attraction mingled with History. To the 1819). Floristic data of Andhra Pradesh is wonder, the water from the mountain will be available from “Flora of the Presidency of used for drinking by all the people of Madras” by Gamble (1916-1935). Flora of Udayagiri. Loddi, Kona, Tapka, Choti Masjid & Nellore District is studied by Suryanarayana, Badi Masjid are the main places to be visited and Sreenivasa Rao (2002). Floristic wealth of on the Mountain. Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary, Nellore district is recently studied by Basha et al., (2012). It was the capital of local kingdom of Langula Medicinal Flora of Penusila Narasimha Sacred Gajapati, chieftain to Gajapatis of Orissa in Grove is studied and reported 160 plant 14 th Century. It came under rule of Kriashna species of medicinal importance by Basha et Deva Raya of Vijayanagara around 1512. After al., (2012). This scenario motivates us to the fall of Vijayanagara Empire, it was ruled by explain the Flora of Udayagiri Fort. After chieftains of Golconda rulers. The mosque on searching the detailed review, it was found top of the hill has two Persian inscriptions that that no authentic information is available on credit the construction of mosque and planting the flora of Udayagiri Forest. Keeping this in a nearby garden to Shaik Husain, chieftain to view, floristic survey was conducted during Sultan Abdullah of Golconda. Then it came March, 2012– June, 2013. under the rule of Nawabs of Arcoty, who granted it to Mustafa Ali Khan as Jagir. His Ph ton 373 descendants controlled it till 1839, till they of dicodtyledons to monocotyledons is 11:1 for were deported by Nawabs again to species and 12.3:1 for genus. Chengalpet for their reason. Based on habit, flora comprises 143 species Materials and Methods (50%) under herbs, followed by 68 shrubs (24%), 54 trees (9%) and 20 climbers (7%). The field trips were undertaken during all the 50% of flora comprises herbs. Table .1 shows four seasons of the year – Viz. summer, rainy, the number of genera and species in respect autumn and winter. The Plant specimens were of top ten dominant families of Udayagiri collected, identified with the help of Flora of forest. Acanthaceae is the dominant family Presidency of Madras (Gamble and Fischer, comprising 33 taxa of 18 genera followed 1916-1920). During the field work, the Fabaceae with 28 taxa of 14 genera. Table.2 specimens collected for the preparation of shows the list of top ten dominant genera of herbarium were processed in accordance with the forest. Cassia is the dominant genus with the methodology adopted by Jain and Rao 9 species followed by Indigofera (7) and (1977).

In the present study enumerates 116 ethno-medicinal climbing plant species belonging to 37 families used by the tribal communities of Andaman and Nicobar Islands in treatment of several indigenous diseases. Menispermaceae (9 species) is the most dominance climber family regarding health care of Andamanese.

  • The Status and Distribution of Spot-Billed Pelican Pelecanus Philippensis in Southern India
    FORKTAIL 21 (2005): 9–14 The status and distribution of Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis in southern India V. KANNAN and RANJIT MANAKADAN Surveys for Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis were conducted in southern India from May 2000 to April 2004. Population estimates were based on counts of birds at nesting colonies and of large congregations at foraging sites, supplemented by published and unpublished recent records. A population of 2,850–3,700 birds is estimated for the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, which is higher than earlier estimates. INTRODUCTION used in the analysis. In some cases the survey data were supplemented with secondary information obtained Spot-billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis is one of the from forest department records, local people and most threatened of the seven species of pelicans in the birdwatchers. All counts were carried out rapidly from world. The total population is estimated to number watchtowers, vehicles, or on foot, to reduce the 2,500–5,000 individuals in South Asia, 3,000–5,000 chances of double counting. Counts at foraging sites individuals in South-East Asia and <25 individuals in were generally carried out from 07h00 to 09h00, while Sumatra (BirdLife International 2001, Wetlands those at colonies were carried out between 11h00 and International 2002). Populations are declining owing 14h00 when most of the adults would have returned to factors such as human disturbance at the nesting from the foraging grounds.
