  • Plant Diversity of Sonadia Island – an Ecologically Critical Area of South-East Bangladesh 1 M.S
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 24(1): 107–116, 2017 (June) PLANT DIVERSITY OF SONADIA ISLAND – AN ECOLOGICALLY CRITICAL AREA OF SOUTH-EAST BANGLADESH 1 M.S. AREFIN, M.K. HOSSAIN AND M. AKHTER HOSSAIN Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Keywords: Plant Diversity; Ecologically Critical Area; Sonadia Island; Mangroves. Abstract The study focuses the plant diversity in different habitats, status and percentage distribution of plants in Sonadia Island, Moheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar of Bangladesh. A total of 138 species belonging to 121 genera and 52 families were recorded and the species were categorised to tree (56 species), shrub (17), herb (48) and climber (17). Poaceae represents the largest family containing 8 species belonging to 8 genera. Homestead vegetation consists of 78% species followed by roadside (23%) and cultivated land (10%), mangroves (9%), sandy beaches (4%) and wetland (1%). The major traditional use categories were timber, food and fodder, fuel, medicine and fencing where maximum plant species (33% of recorded) were traditionally being used for food and fodder. Introduction Sonadia Island at Moheshkhali of Cox’s Bazar is situated in the southern-eastern coastal region of Bangladesh with partial regular inundations of saline water. The island covers an area of 10,298 hectares including coastal and mangrove plantations, salt production fields, shrimp culture firms, plain agriculture lands, human settlements etc. Ecosystem of this island was adversely affected due to increasing rate of anthropogenic disturbances. To protect the ecosystem of this island, it was declared as Ecologically Critical Area (ECA) in 1999 under section of the Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act, 1995 (MoEF, 2015).

A new species is easily distinguished from the other species of the genus in Indo-China in having short petioles less than 4 mm long, obovate-oblong or oblong-elliptic leaf blade with rounded to slightly cordate base, and 18–24 pairs of secondary veins. Keywords: flora, Indochina, Sapindales, taxonomy Introduction The genus Gluta Linnaeus (1771: 293) is trees or rarely shrubs of Aacardiaceae distributed from Madagascar, India, Myanmar, Indo-China, Thailand, to throughout Malesia (Kochummen 1996, Chayamarit 2010). It consists of about 30 species, among which four species have been known from Laos: G. cambodiana Pierre (1897: 368), G. laccifera (Pierre 1885: 538) Ding Hou (1978a: 14), G. tavoyana Wallich ex Hooker (1879: 22) and G. usitata (Wallich 1829: 29) Ding Hou (1978a: 21) (Tardieu-Blot, 1962, Newman et al. 2007, Chayamarit 2010, Gardner et al. 2015).

We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.

First print: July 2007 For copies write to: Forest Resources Officer FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific Maliwan Mansion Phra Atit Road, Bangkok 10200 Thailand E-mail: [email protected] ii FOREWORDS Large extents of the coastlines of Southeast Asian countries were once covered by thick mangrove forests. In the past few decades, however, these mangrove forests have been largely degraded and destroyed during the process of development. The negative environmental and socio-economic impacts on mangrove ecosystems have led many government and non- government agencies, together with civil societies, to launch mangrove conservation and rehabilitation programmes, especially during the 1990s. In the course of such activities, programme staff have faced continual difficulties in identifying plant species growing in the field. Despite a wide availability of mangrove guidebooks in Southeast Asia, none of these sufficiently cover species that, though often associated with mangroves, are not confined to this habitat.

Heterostyly, a genetic floral polymorphism characterized mainly by reciprocal herkogamy, may reduce this sexual conflict by increasing the precision of pollen transfer between morphs. This sexual organ reciprocity is often associated with various ancillary characters and a heteromorphic incompatibility system. Here we describe the morphometrics associated with heterostyly and ancillary characters in Plumbago auriculata. Using controlled pollination experiments, we show that this species has a heteromorphic incompatibility system. We also document the fauna of long-proboscid fly and butterfly pollinators in a P. auriculata population in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. © 2009 SAAB. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Rare and Threatened Pteridophytes of Asia 2. Endangered Species of India — the Higher IUCN Categories
    Bull. Natl. Mus. Nat. Sci., Ser. B, 38(4), pp. 153–181, November 22, 2012 Rare and Threatened Pteridophytes of Asia 2. Endangered Species of India — the Higher IUCN Categories Christopher Roy Fraser-Jenkins Student Guest House, Thamel. P.O. Box no. 5555, Kathmandu, Nepal E-mail: [email protected] (Received 19 July 2012; accepted 26 September 2012) Abstract A revised list of 337 pteridophytes from political India is presented according to the six higher IUCN categories, and following on from the wider list of Chandra et al. (2008). This is nearly one third of the total c. 1100 species of indigenous Pteridophytes present in India. Endemics in the list are noted and carefully revised distributions are given for each species along with their estimated IUCN category. A slightly modified update of the classification by Fraser-Jenkins (2010a) is used. Phanerophlebiopsis balansae (Christ) Fraser-Jenk. et Baishya and Azolla filiculoi- des Lam. subsp. cristata (Kaulf.) Fraser-Jenk., are new combinations. Key words : endangered, India, IUCN categories, pteridophytes. The total number of pteridophyte species pres- gered), VU (Vulnerable) and NT (Near threat- ent in India is c. 1100 and of these 337 taxa are ened), whereas Chandra et al.’s list was a more considered to be threatened or endangered preliminary one which did not set out to follow (nearly one third of the total). It should be the IUCN categories until more information realised that IUCN listing (IUCN, 2010) is became available. The IUCN categories given organised by countries and the global rarity and here apply to political India only.
