Common Bamboo Classification (Bambusa Vulgaris ) Order Poales Family Poaceae Genus Bambusa Species Bambusa Vulgaris Originated in Southern Asia

F N O h c o F . T Common bamboo Classification (Bambusa vulgaris ) Order Poales Family Poaceae Genus Bambusa Species Bambusa vulgaris Originated in southern Asia. Widely introduced in the (Schrad. Ex J.C.Wendl., 1810) 1800s and grown for an array of uses, including construction materials, land management (erosion), furniture, textiles, ornaments and human consumption. F 1 N The plant is now present in most tropical areas of the O h planet. c o F .

New Species of Schizostachyum (Poaceae–Bambusoideae) from the Andaman Islands, India
BLUMEA 48: 187–192 Published on 7 April 2003 doi: 10.3767/000651903X686169 NEW SPECIES OF SCHIZOSTACHYUM (POACEAE–BAMBUSOIDEAE) FROM THE ANDAMAN ISLANDS, INDIA MUKTESH KUMAR & M. REMESH Botany Division, Kerala Forest Research Institute, Peechi 680-653, Trichur, Kerala, India SUMMARY Two new species of Schizostachyum Nees: S. andamanicum and S. kalpongianum, are described and illustrated. Key words: Schizostachyum, Andaman Islands, India. INTRODUCTION During the revisionary studies on Indian bamboos the authors could undertake a survey in the Andaman Islands. Five species of bamboos, namely Bambusa atra, Dinochloa an- damanica, Gigantochloa andamanica, Bambusa schizostachyoides, and Schizostachyum rogersii have so far been reported from the Andaman Islands (Munro, 1868; Gamble, 1896; Brandis, 1906; Parkinson, 1921). As a result of exploring different parts of the is lands two interesting bamboos were collected. Critical examination revealed that they belonged to the genus Schizostachyum Nees and hitherto undescribed. The genus Schizostachyum was described by Nees in 1829 based on Schizostachyum blumei. This genus is represented by about 45–50 species distributed in tropical and sub- tropical Asia from southern China throughout the Malaysian region, extending to the Paciﬁc islands with the majority of species in Malaysia (Dransﬁeld, 1983, 2000; Ohrnberger, 1999; Wong, 1995). The genus is characterised by sympodial rhizomes; erect or straggling thin-walled culms; many branches of the same length arising from the node; indeterminate inflores cence; absence of glumes in the spikelets; presence of lodicules; slender ovary with long, glabrous stiff style which is hollow around a central strand of tissue; anthers usu- ally with blunt apex. The bamboos collected from the Andaman Islands have straggling culms and are similar to Schizostachyum gracile (Munro) Holttum in certain characters but differ in several other characters.

E Anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract of Bambusa vulgaris leaves RTICL William M. Carey, Jeevan Mani Babu Dasi1, Nimmagadda V. Rao1, Krishna Mohan Gottumukkala A Deparment of Pharmacognosy and Ethnopharmacology, University College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kakatiya University, Warangal and 1Department of Pharmacology, V.L. College of Pharmacy, Raichur, India Bambusa vulgaris, commonly known as “Bamboo,” possesses various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory activity. The present study is designed to investigate anti-inflammatory effect of methanolic extract of B. vulgaris (MEBV) on rats and mice. The anti-inflammatory effect is investigated employing acute inflammatory models: formaldehyde-induced paw edema, acetic acid-induced vascular permeability, subacute anti-inflammatory model: cotton pellet granuloma, estimation of plasma MDA and RIGINAL carrageenan-induced peritonitis. MEBV (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o) exhibited a dose-dependent and significant inhibition (P <0.01) in all the experimental models. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, carbohydrates, glycosides, O proteins, and alkaloids. The extract produces no mortality in the dose up to 2000 mg/kg, p.o. The results obtained suggest marked anti-inflammatory activity of the MEBV and support the traditional use of this plant in some painful and inflammatory conditions.

Plant Life of Western Australia
INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

Received: 28 January 2014; in revised form: 2 May 2014 / Accepted: 13 May 2014 / Published: 20 May 2014 Abstract: Traditional agrosilvopastoral systems have been an important component of the farming systems and livelihoods of thousands of ethnic minority people in the uplands of Mainland Southeast Asia. Drawing on a combination of qualitative and participatory inquiries in nine ethnic minority communities, this study emphasizes the complex articulation of local farmers’ knowledge which has been so far excluded from governmental development and conservation policies in the northern uplands of Thailand and Laos. Qualitative analysis of local knowledge systems is performed using the Agroecological Knowledge Toolkit (AKT5) software. Results show that ethnic minorities in the two countries perceive large ruminants to be a highly positive component of local forest agro-ecosystems due to their contribution to nutrient cycling, forest fire control, water retention, and leaf-litter dispersal.

Wong & M. H. Diep (Poaceae, Bambusoideae), a new species of bamboo from Vietnam. Candollea 70: 211-218. In English, English abstract. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/c2015v702a6 Bambusa Schreb. (Poaceae, Bambusoideae) is a large and complex tropical and subtropical Asian genus that is currently being taxonomically remodeled through morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches. The type and type alliance of the genus is, however, morphologically well distinguished. Preliminary documentation suggests there could be some 60-70 species of Bambusa in Vietnam, although confirmation requires more rigorous herbarium-based vouchering. A new species of bamboo belonging to the type alliance, Bambusa gurgandii K. M. Wong & M. H. Diep, is described, known only from cultivated specimens in Vietnam. It belongs to the group of unarmed Bambusa species including Bambusa burmanica Gamble, Bambusa farinacea K. M. Wong, Bambusa nutans Wall. ex Munro, Bambusa polymorpha Munro, Bambusa teres Buch.-Ham. ex Munro and Bambusa tulda Roxb. but is distinguished by details of the pseudospikelets and flowers.
