12. Sasinath Herbarium Nepalese Journal of Biosciences 1: 83-95 (2011) Vascular plant specimens in Tribhuvan University Herbarium (TUH), Biratnagar, Nepal Sasinath Jha, Shiva Kumar Rai, Umesh Koirala, Bhabindra Niroula, Indramani Bhagat, Min Raj Dhakal and Tej Narayan Mandal Department of Botany, Post Graduate Campus, Tribhuvan University, Biratnagar, Nepal E-mail: [email protected] This report comprises the first list of 1019 specimens of vascular plants (Pteridophytes: 25 families and 106 species; Gymnosperms: 9 families and 19 species; Angiosperms: 136 families and 894 species) reposited in the “Tribhuvan University Herbarium (TUH)”, Department of Botany, Post Graduate Campus, Tribhuvan University, Biratnagar, Nepal. These specimens have been collected by students and teachers of the Department of Botany, Post Graduate Campus from various locations of eastern Nepal (tropical to temperate climates; 60 to 3000 m, msl altitudes) since the year 1992 onwards. For the purpose of easy access to the specimens, families within a taxon, genera within a family, and species within a genus are arranged alphabetically. Scientific names provided by Hara et al . (1978, 1979, 1982), Iwatsuki (1988), Koba et al . (1994), Siwakoti (1995), Press et al. (2000), Jha and Jha (2000), and Thapa (2002) have been adopted for the nomenclature of the reposited specimens.

A total of 326 species belonging to 83 families and 219 genera of angiospermic plants have been documented from this area. The largest families are Ericaceae (36 species) and Asteraceae (22 genera). Similarly, the largest and dominant genus was Rhododendron (26 species) in the area. There were 178 herbs, 67 shrubs, 62 trees, 15 climbers and other 4 species of sub-alpine and temperate plants. The paper has attempted to list the plants with their habits and habitats. Key words: alpine, angiospermic flora, conservation, rhododendron Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale Introduction determines overall biodiversity and development The area of Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale (TMJ) falls under the activities. With the increasing altitude, temperature middle Himalaya ranging from 1700 m asl to 5000 m asl, is decreased and consequently different climatic and geographically lies between 2706’57" to 27030’28" zones within a sort vertical distance are found. The north latitude and 87019’46" to 87038’14" east precipitation varies from 1000 to 2400 mm, and the 2 longitude. It covers an area of more than 585 km of average is about 1650 mm over the TMJ region.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE INVENTORY No. 79 Washington, D. C. T Issued March, 1927 SEEDS AND PLANTS IMPORTED BY THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN PLANT INTRO- DUCTION, BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, DURING THE PERIOD FROM APRIL 1 TO JUNE 30,1924 (S. P. I. NOS. 58931 TO 60956) CONTENTS Page Introductory statement 1 Inventory 3 Index of common and scientific names _ 74 INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT During the period covered by this, the seventy-ninth, Inventory of Seeds and Plants Imported, the actual number of introductions was much greater than for any similar period in the past. This was due largely to the fact that there were four agricultural exploring expeditions in the field in the latter part of 1923 and early in 1924, and the combined efforts of these in obtaining plant material were unusually successful. Working as a collaborator of this office, under the direction of the National Geographic Society of Washington, D. C, Joseph L. Rock continued to carry on botanical explorations in the Province of Yunnan, southwestern China, from which region he has sent so much of interest during the preceding few years. The collections made by Mr. Rock, which arrived in Washington in the spring of 1924, were generally similar to those made previously in the same region, except that a remarkable series of rhododendrons, numbering nearly 500 different species, many as yet unidentified, was included. Many of these rhododendrons, as well as the primroses, delphiniums, gentians, and barberries obtained by Mr. Rock, promise to be valuable ornamentals for parts of the United States with climatic conditions generally similar to those of Yunnan.

  • A Survey of Himalayan Rangeland Weeds in Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale Area, Eastern Nepal
    Nepalese Journal of Biosciences 2: 24-30 (2012) A survey of Himalayan rangeland weeds in Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale area, eastern Nepal Dil Kumar Limbu1*, Madan Koirala2 and Zhanhuan Shang3 1Central Campus of Technology, Dharan, T.U., Nepal 2Central Department of Environmental Science, Kirtipur, T.U., Nepal 3International Centre for Tibetan Plateau Ecosystem Management, Lanzhou University, China *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Eitht common rangeland weeds including Anaphalis contorta, Berberis erythroclada, Euphorbia wallichii, Potentilla lineate, Prunella vulgaris, Pteris aspericaulis, Senecio chrysanthemoides and Swertia pedicellata were recorded from the rangelands of Tinjure-Milke-Jaljale area in the present study, among which Senecio chrysanthemoides and Swertia pedicellata were the most obnoxious species responsible for the habitat degradation for wildlife, reduction in biodiversity, curtailment of forage resources and alternation of ecosystem and functions. The main reason for rapid weed invasion was the lack of awareness of the gravity of situation among the stakeholders hindering adoption of effective weed control measures. Key words: Rangelands, weeds, description, distribution, density, control measures Introduction Rangelands are uncultivated lands that include grasslands, savannas, steppes, shrub-lands, deserts and tundra. The native vegetation of rangelands is predominantly grasses, forbs and shrubs (Kothmann, 1974). The rangelands cover about 40% of the world land, 60% of Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) and 12% of land of Nepal (White et al., 2000; ICIMOD, 2009). The rangelands have supported pastoral livestock production and resources of livelihood in high altitude. It is increasingly recognised that rangeland ecosystems also provide significant services and benefits that go far beyond livestock production. On other hand, rangeland is degrading by unwanted plants, weeds.

    Planning and planting for a better world Friends of the JC Raulston Arboretum Newsletter Number 3, Spring 1998 Director’s Letter Spring greetings from the JC Raulston Arboretum! This garden- ing season is in full swing, and the Arboretum is the place to be. Emergence is the word! Flowers and foliage are emerging every- where. We had a magnificent late winter and early spring. The Cornus mas ‘Spring Glow’ located in the paradise garden was exquisite this year. The bright yellow flowers are bright and persistent, and the Students from a Wake Tech Community College Photography Class find exfoliating bark and attractive habit plenty to photograph on a February day in the Arboretum. make it a winner. It’s no wonder that JC was so excited about this done soon.

Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Alpine vegetation of the Himalaya is used as food, medicine or fodder, and is commonly managed with fire by agropastoralists. Prescribed fire can have positive effects on rangeland biodiversity, but studies evaluating its effects in alpine shrublands are scarce. Our objective was to examine the effects of anthropogenic fire on biophysical characteristics, species richness, abundance and composition in an alpine shrubland with socioeconomic value to local peoples in Langtang National Park in central Nepal. We surveyed biophysical variables, vascular plant species richness and composition along three transects at ascending elevations, and conducted interviews with local people and park officials on the use of fire in the region. We found 69 species of vascular plants in 89 plots; species richness was greater in burned plots and with increasing elevation, with 13 species unique to burned plots. We identified 14 indicator species in both burned and unburned plots; eight of them were Himalayan endemics.
