Chapter I Introduction “The universe is the creation of the supreme power ment for the benefit to all his creations. Individual species must therefore learn to enjoy benefits by forming a part of the system in close relation with other species. Let not anyone species encroach upon the others right”. Isho-Upanishad Darjeeling Himalaya is a part of Singalila range of Eastern Himalaya and a part of Himalayan Hotspot (Moktan & Das, 2011), and globally known as one of the mega biodiversity hotspot zones (Rai & Bhujel, 2011) and is known to provide shelter to a large number of endemic, rare and interesting plant species (Gajurel et al . 2006). Takhtajan (1969) based on the analysis of distribution of primitive angiosperms treated the Eastern Himalaya-Fiji region as the ‘cradle of flowering plants’, where angiosperm have diversified. Therefore, Eastern Himalayan flora has great phytogeographic significance. Eastern Himalaya directly confronts the moisture, monsoon winds, blowing in land across the Bay of Bengal, that leads to a high degree of precipitation which has no equal in the planets. Maximum humidity favours the migration of plant species widely from different bordering countries. The Eastern Himalayas is characterized by affluence in the flora and has attracted the plant lovers round the world (Das, 2011) and rich repository of plant wealth in varied ecological systems. Floristically, the Eastern Himalaya is one of the richest regions in the world that is literally considered as a botanist’s paradise and has thus, attracted a large number of plant hunters and botanists at least during the last three centuries (Don, 1821; Das, 1995, 2004). -

In this we first collection of different member of Family Euphorbiaceae from different region of Kopargoantehasil. An extensive and intensive survey at plants was carried out from village Pathare, Derde, Pohegoan, Kopergaon, Padhegaon, Apegoan during the were collected in flowering and fruiting period throughout the year done. During survey we determine 16 member of Euphorbiceae from Kopargoantehshil Then we decide characterization on the basis of habit, flowering character, leaf and fruit character with help of that character and using different literature we identified each and every member of Euphorbiaceae Species were identified with relevant information and documented in this paper with regard to their Botanical Name, family, Habitat, flowering Fruiting session and their medicinal value of some member of Euphorbiaceae that used in medicine respiratory disorder such as cough, asthama, bronchitis etc and some are toxic in nature due to their toxic latex that is showing itching reaction.

Origin of the Cyathium-Bearing Euphorbieae (Euphorbiaceae): Phylogenetic Study Based on Morphological Characters

A cladistic analysis of the subfamily Euphorbioideae was undertaken to elucidate the origin of the cyathium- bearing Euphorbieae and to provide hypotheses about evolutionary relationships within the subfamily. Twenty-one species representing most of the genera within the study group and three outgroup taxa from the subfamilies Acalyphoideae and Crotonoideae were selected for parsimony analysis. An unweighted parsimony analysis of 24 morphological characters resulted in five equally parsimonious trees with consistency indices of 0.67 and tree lengths of 39 steps. The strict consensus tree supported monophyly of the cyathium-bearing Euphorbieae. The sister group relationships of cyathium bearing Euphorbieae with Maprounea (subtribe Hippomaninae) were supported weakly, and the origin of cyathium is possibly in Hippomaneae, or in the common ancestor of Euphorbieae and remaining taxa of Euphorbioideae plus Acalyphoideae. Within the tribe Euphorbieae, both subtribes Euphorbiinae and Neoguilauminiinae are monophyletic, but the African endemic subtribe Anthosteminae is unresolved. The resulting trees support the monophyly of the tribe Stomatocalyceae while the tribe Hippomaneae does not consistently form a clade. Keywords: Cyathium; Euphorbieae; Phylogeny. Introduction to the position of a female flower. Accordingly, the Eu- phorbia-like cyathium results from the alteration of floral In a recent classification of subfamily Euphorbioideae axis and the condensation of the axis of male flower in Boiss., Webster (1975, 1994b) recognized six tribes: Hippomaneae. -

W. Mennega Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Utrecht University branch, Heidelberglaan 2, 3584 es Utrecht, The Netherlands SUMMARY The wood anatomy was studied of 82 species from 34 out of 54 genera in the subfamily Euphorbioideae, covering all five tribes recognized in this subfamily. In general the woods show a great deal of similarity. They are charac terized by a relative paucity of vessels, often arranged in short to long, dumbbell-shaped or twin, radial multiples, and by medium-sized to large intervessel pits; fibres often have gelatinous walls; parenchyma apotracheal in short, wavy, narrow bands and diffuse-in-aggregates; mostly uni- or only locally biseriate rays, strongly heterocellular (except Hippomane, Hura and Pachystroma). Cell contents, either silica or crystals, or both together, are nearly always present and often useful in distinguishing between genera. Radiallaticifers were noticed in most genera, though they are scarce and difficult to trace. The laticifers are generally not surrounded by special cells, except in some genera of the subtribe Euphorbiinae where radiallaticifers are comparatively frequent and conspicuous. Three ofthe five tribes show a great deal of conformity in their anatomy. Stomatocalyceae, however, stand apart from the rest by the combination of the scarcity of vessels, and mostly biseriate, vertically fused and very tall rays. Within Euphorbieae the subtribe Euphorbiinae shows a greater vari ation than average, notably in vessel pitting, the frequent presence of two celled parenchyma strands, and in size and frequency of the laticifers. -
