INTRODUCTION The term “mainland South-East Asia" in this work implies Burma ， Thailand ，Cambodia ，Laos ，Vietnam ，and peninsular Malaysiaσig.l). 百lese countries ， except for Malaysia ， share a common floristic component ，particularly of the the family Bignoniaceae. Following Following the up-to-date taxonomic revisions of Bignoniaceae for the Flore du Cambodge ，du Laos et du Viet-Nam (Santisuk & Vidal ，1985) ， the Flora of Thailand Thailand (Santisuk ， in press) ，and the Flora Malesiana (Steenis ，1977) ，it is felt that all the the scattered information on Bignoniaceae indigenous to the mainland SE. Asia should should be brought into conformity. In addition to these floras ， other useful taxonomic accounts ，conspectus ，and enumerations of certain groups of the As ian Bignoniaceae Bignoniaceae were freely consulted ， including Chatterjee (1948) ， Santisuk (1974 ， 1985) 佃 d Steenis (1976). Hence ， the keys to genera 叩 d species of Bignoniaceae in the mainland mainland SE. Asia have been combined. The reconstructed keys ，though artificial ， are are informative and explanatory. In addition ， the geographical distribution and ecology ecology of Bignoniaceae 町 e briefly summarized. The distributional ranges of certain bignoniaceous bignoniaceous plants have also been mapped (Figs. 2・17). DISTRIBUTION The family Bignoniaceae comprises about 120 genera and some 650 species ， mostly mostly tropical and subtropical ， with a few genera in the w 町 m temperate regions (e.g. (e.g. Catalpa) and subtropical alpine (Incarvillea). The family is divided into three major tribes: Bignonieae ，Tecomeae 卸 d Crescentieae. The last tribe ， with 1・celled fruits ， occurs in Africa and the Am ericas. The Bignonieae are predominantly Am erican ，whilst the Tecomeae have about an equal number of genera in the Old and New Worlds. • The Forest Herbarium ，Roy a1 Forest De partment ，Bangkok 1α 削， Th ailand. 61 61 62 THAWATCHAI SANTISUK 100 105 110 ,. /~ '·~--·""/ ...... ---~ ----·I 25 BURMA 20 1 15 i I... 0 10 ·. 5 0 Figure I.

    2018 International Conference on Zoology, Botany and Ecology (ICZBE 2018) Study on the Relationship between Plant Distribution and Local Atmospheric Environment in Guangdong Province 1 1,* Minqing Huang , Desenke 1School of life science , Guangzhou University , Guangzhou 51006, China a Minqing Huang,[email protected], b Desenke,[email protected] *Corresponding author, Tel: 13342884383 Keywords: Vegetation, Air pollution, Phytoremediation. Abstract. Plants can rise to purify the atmosphere, the coverage rate of plants and the species of plants are the influencing factors of the atmospheric environment within a certain area. To explore the relationship of plant distribution and local atmospheric environment association between the Shaoguan and the Zhanjiang in Guangdong Province, we can see the vegetation coverage in Shaoguan area is higher than that in Zhanjiang area, but the plant species in Zhanjiang area is more targeted. In a word, the air quality of Zhanjiang area is higher than in the Shaoguan area. So strengthening the study of phytoremediation of air pollution is beneficial to the sustainable development of ecosystem. 1. Introduction Plants, which can exchange large amounts of gases with air through photosynthesis, are important members of the ecosystem. In addition, the surface of the plant will be deposited dry and wet by pollutants that exist in the atmosphere, while plant cells can dissolve gaseous substances and absorb soluble compounds deposited on the plant surface [1]. And different plants have different effects on their atmospheric environment [2] The zonal forest is a typical evergreen broadleaved forest in the subtropics in the north, a subtropical monsoon evergreen broad-leaved forest in the middle, and a tropical rain forest and a monsoon rainforest in the south in the geographical distribution of Guangdong forest.

Leahyl Radermachera sinica (Hance) Hemsl., a member of the Bignoniaceae, occurs naturally in India, China, Java, the Celebes and the Phillipine Islands. This plant is a relatively new introduction to the foliage market in Florida and is used most commonly as indoor accent plants. Radermachera sinica is easy to grow and can be propagated by cuttings, marcottage and seed (1). SYMPTOMS: Few diseases are recorded on Radermachera sinica; however, Phytophthora parasitica Dastur, which has a wide host range, can cause a serious root and stem rot. It is also quite aggressive as a damping off disease of Radermachera seedlings. (DPI, Plant Pathology Files, UNPBL.). Phytophthora parasitica infects the young tender roots and stem tissue of seedlings resulting in their collapse and death. Overfertilization and poorly drained/overwatered media can play an important role in predisposing these plants to infection by Phytophthora. Older, more established Radermachera plants can also fall prey to this disease; however, symptoms tend to be less obvious at the initial onset of infection. Infected R. sinica plants eventually become unthrifty and chlorotic. Defoliation occurs as symptoms progress and eventually stems become necrotic. This gives infected plants an overall thin, flagged appearance. Fig. 1. Defoliation, col- lapsed foliage and blight- ed stems are symptoms ex- pressed by the infected Radermachera seedling on the left. (DPI Photo #87131 by Jeffrey W.

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.
