Peetabas .( 06 - 11 ) DOMINANT FAMILY FABACEAE OF KANDHAMAL DISTRICT, ODISHA, INDIA N. Peetabas Department of Botany, Science College, Kukudakhandi ABSTRACT The family Fabaceae is well known for its protein contents and other valuable uses. A total of 652 plant species were collected from the forest pockets of Kandhamal district during the survey work conducted from 2007 to 2009. About 9% of the total collections including 56 plant species belonging to this family are enumerated here. Key words: Dominant, herbarium, species diversity, floristic composition INTRODUCTION: Kandhamal separated from Phulabani became an independent district on 2nd October 1992. The Kandhamal district located between 19034’to 20034’ north latitude and 83030’ to 84035’ east longitude in central part of Odisha. It is bounded by Boudha district north, Koraput district on south, Nayagarh and Ganjam in east and Kalahandi in west. The floristic account of this area has remained comparatively unknown. The luxuriant forest pockets have been used as hiding dwellings by the naxalites, maoists and other criminal elements of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. The district could not be botanised perfectly by Saxena and Brahmam (1994-96) may be owing to the above reasons. A few of literatures (Mooney, 1950) are also available containing sporadic references. Attempts were also made by Mishra and Das, 1988; Hemadri and Rao, 1989-91; Aminuddin and Girach, 1991; Prusty, 2007; Prusty and Behera, 2007; Pattnaik et al., 2008 etc. but their works were mostly confined to ethnobotanical noting only. The authors www.shreeprakashan.com Id: [email protected],Vol-IV, Issue–IX, Sept, 2015. Page 6 International Multidisciplinary e –Journal. Author: N. Peetabas .( 06 - 11 ) have taken the hardship to explore the floristic possessions of the district so that the economy of the district can be improved in near future. Family Fabaceae includes angiospermic dicotyledonous plants belonging to order- fabales, series-calyciflorae and subclass-polypetalae of class-magnoliopsida. The Fabaceae family (= Leguminosae) consists of approximately 650 genera and 18,000 species; it is one of the largest Angiosperm families (Polhill et aI., 1981; Judd et al., 1999). The Faboideae is the largest of the three Fabaceae subfamilies with about 440 genera and 12,000 species (Polhill, 1981). Legume species have a great economic importance since many of them are nitrogen fixers, act in soil conservation, are used for the production of timber, fuel, pesticides, forage, gums, colorants, carbohydrates, proteins and oils (Polhill et al., 1981) and there are also many with ornamental and apicultural importance (Rodriguez-Riano et a/., 1999). Therefore, the present paper highlights different species of fabaceae Kandhamal district, Odisha, India. Fig.1 Digital map of Kandhamal district MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic field surveys were undertaken to almost all the forest ranges of Kandhamal(Fig.1). The field trips were organized so as to cover all the areas of the district at regular intervals in different seasons. As a result it became possible to collect the plants in various developmental stages of their life cycle. After critical study the specimens were www.shreeprakashan.com Id: [email protected],Vol-IV, Issue–IX, Sept, 2015. Page 7 International Multidisciplinary e –Journal. Author: N. Peetabas .( 06 - 11 ) identified following Flora of Odisha (Saxena and Brahmam, 1994-96) and compared with the authentic specimens of the herbarium. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION During the year 2007-09, the forests of Kandhamal district were surveyed extensively. The existing vegetation is found to fall broadly under three types viz. tropical semi-evergreen forest, tropical dry deciduous forest and tropical moist deciduous forest as per the classification of revised forest types of India (Champion and Seth, 1968). Besides the above, several types and subtypes like bamboo brakes, riparian fringing forest, scrubs, grass lands etc. are noticed mostly either developed or resulted due to biotic influence. The state is the southern most limit of sal. This is also the meeting place of sal and teak (Saxena and Brahmam, 1994). There are some literatures about the legumes of India (Caius, 1989; Singh et al., 1998), but no publication particularly related to Kandhamal or Odisha is available. In "The Flora of Odisha" (Saxena and Brahmam, 1994-96) there are 228 species of Fabaceae. In this piece of work a total of 56 species belonging to this family are enumerated (Table. 1) out of 652 total collections. This includes 30 herbs, 11 shrubs, 7 climbers and 8 tree species (Fig. 3). The other major families viz. Poaceae, Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, Acanthaceae, Cyperaceae and pubiaceae having 40,34,31,29,27 and 26 number of species respectively (Fig. 2) indicate Fabaceae has the largest species diversity. The cause of the species richness may be the topography and climatic conditions prevailing in the locality that support the luxuriant growth of the family. Apart from this the regeneration capacity or viability of these species can also be taken into account. Majority of the species are herbs and are found to be mostly of therapeutic uses. Though, 8 different tree species are found, their population is comparatively less as they are widely used in making agricultural implements and furniture which are of high economic value. This may lead to complete destruction of tree species from their natural habitat. There is a threat to the woody climbers also as they can not avail the support for their growth due to the rapid destruction of the trees from the forests. Hence there is an immediate need to give attention for the conservation measures, so that we can save these plants in wild. www.shreeprakashan.com Id: [email protected],Vol-IV, Issue–IX, Sept, 2015.

Plants have potent biochemicals and have components of phytomedicine since time immortal. India holds a goldmine of great deal of well known medicinal plants practiced traditionally for use of herbal medicine. It is generally estimated that over 6000 plants in India are in use in traditional, folk and herbal, medicine representing about 75% of the medicinal needs of the third world countries. One such medicinal herb used in Indian Ayurvedic systems of medicine is Desmodium gangeticum (Shalparni). A review of phytochemical profile of Desmodium gangeticum has been presented considering the fact that there are many species of this genus scattered All around the world, out of which Desmodium gangeticum have been phytochemically explored. Hence, in the present article, an attempt has been made to overview phytochemical studies in Desmodium gangeticum which serves as a potential source for contribution in the modern system of herbal medicine.

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.

Since information on the genetic diversity of these species is deficient, the creation of baseline data is an important means for the development of more sustainable and cost-efficient conservation approaches which eventually result in more comprehensive ex situ germplasm collections. The species analyzed are native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania and possess a potential as forage and/or medicinal plants. Moderate levels of inter-accession diversity represented by 37.5% and 33.3% of polymorphic fragments (P%) and average Jaccard’s similarity coefficients (JSCs) of 0.60 and 0.64 were found in D. heterocarpon and T. triquetrum, respectively, while moderate to high levels were detected in D. triangulare (P% = 52.9 and JSC = 0.61) and D. gangeticum (P% = 34.5 and JSC = 0.49). Mantel tests failed to reveal a correlation between geographic and genetic distances.

  • Additions to Paleotropical Bruchidius Associated with Desmodieae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae)
    Genus Vol. 25(3): 425-432 Wrocław, 30 IX 2014 Additions to paleotropical Bruchidius associated with Desmodieae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) ALEX DELOBEL Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, 45 rue Buffon, 75005 Paris, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Three species of Bruchinae are reported for the first time from Vietnam as feeding in seeds of members of leguminous tribe Desmodieae (Fabaceae - Faboideae). Two of them are new to science and described in genus Bruchidius: B. hoangi and B. madaguiensis. A redescription of B. minutissimus (Motschulsky) is also provided. Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Coleoptera, Bruchinae, new species, Desmodieae, Alhagi, Dendrolobium, Desmodium. InTroDuCTIon Desmodieae are a leguminous tribe of Faboideae (or Papilionoideae) with nume- rous members in tropical regions; it is composed of 27 genera, of which Desmodium and Lespedeza are the largest. About 190 Desmodieae species are present in Vietnam according to PHAM-HOÀNG HÔ (2002). recent contributions by DELOBEL (2010a, b) for Asian Desmodieae and CHAN et al. (2011) for world Desmodium have unveiled an unsuspected diversity of Bruchinae associated with this large group of plants. I report here on three Bruchidius species reared from pod samples of Dendrolobium lanceolatum, Desmodium gangeticum and Tadehagi triquetrum that were collected in Vietnam. This brings the number of seed beetles species known to be associated with Desmodieae in Vietnam to sixteen, and to nineteen (or twenty) species for Asia as a whole. Techniques used for sample collection and rearing were similar to those described earlier (DELOBEL & DELOBEL 2003). Leguminous host plants were identified using the Flora of Vietnam (PHAM-HOÀNG HÔ 2002), and botanical names were updated according to ILDIS (2014); I am greatly indebted to Dr.

    Plant Archives Vol. 14 No. 1, 2014 pp. 87-96 ISSN 0972-5210 AN UPDATED ACCOUNT OF THE NAME CHANGES OF THE DICOTYLEDONOUS PLANT SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE VOL: I (1934- 36) & VOL: II (1938) OF “FLORA OF ASSAM” Rajib Lochan Borah Department of Botany, D.H.S.K. College, Dibrugarh - 786 001 (Assam), India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Changes in botanical names of flowering plants are an issue which comes up from time to time. While there are valid scientific reasons for such changes, it also creates some difficulties to the floristic workers in the preparation of a new flora. Further, all the important monumental floras of the world have most of the plants included in their old names, which are now regarded as synonyms. In north east India, “Flora of Assam” is an important flora as it includes result of pioneering floristic work on Angiosperms & Gymnosperms in the region. But, in the study of this flora, the same problems of name changes appear before the new researchers. Therefore, an attempt is made here to prepare an updated account of the new names against their old counterpts of the plants included in the first two volumes of the flora, on the basis of recent standard taxonomic literatures. In this, the unresolved & controversial names are not touched & only the confirmed ones are taken into account. In the process new names of 470 (four hundred & seventy) dicotyledonous plant species included in the concerned flora are found out. Key words : Name changes, Flora of Assam, Dicotyledonus plants, floristic works.

    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 13 (1), January 2014, pp. 103-110 Shola, Aeschynomene aspera L. used for making indigenous handicrafts revealing traditional art needs conservation R N Mandal1*, R Bar2 & D N Chattopadhyay1 1Regional Research Centre, Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, PO Rahara, 24 Paraganas, Kolkata 700 118, WB; 2Department of Botany, Bangabasi Morning College, Kolkata 700 009, WB E-mail: [email protected] Received 10.10.12, revised 03.06.13 Shola, Aeschynomene aspera L. is an aquatic plant growing wildly in water logged areas of wetlands, but presently has been threatened one listed in Red list of threatened species by IUCN. Culturally, it has great importance in society because shola pith is obtained from this plant. Shola pith has certain traits such as milky white colour, softness, malleability, suppleness, sponginess and based on these attribute, shola pith is used making a variety of crafts which occupy a unique position in India’s heritage of handicrafts.
