A Taxonomic Study on the Angiosperm Flora of Trishal Upazila, Mymensingh
Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sco. 22(1): 63-74, 2013 (January) A TAXONOMIC STUDY ON THE ANGIOSPERM FLORA OF TRISHAL UPAZILA, MYMENSINGH M. OLIUR RAHMAN* AND MD. TAUHIDUL ALAM Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Key words: Floristics, Taxonomy, Angiosperms, Trishal, Bangladesh Abstract Trishal Upazila has been floristically explored to make an inventory, identify and document the angiosperm flora. A total of 209 species under 171 genera and 69 families have been identified. Magnoliopsida (Dicots) is represented by 163 species distributed in 133 genera and 54 families, and Liliopsida (Monocots) is constituted by 46 species under 38 genera and 15 families. In Magnoliopsida Asteraceae with 12 species and in Liliopsida Poaceae with 11 species is found as the largest family. The genus Ficus and the genus Fimbristylis stand the first position, respectively in dicots and monocots. Herbs are represented by 124 species, shrubs by 36 species and trees by 49 species. Introduction Under the auspices of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), the importance of taxonomy and floristic studies has been recognized recently by the Parties (i.e. the signatory countries), who recognized that the combination of inadequate taxonomic knowledge, the shortage of systematists and the inadequacy of sampling, collections, and infrastructure constituted a taxonomic impediment. In order to implement the CBD, the need for taxonomic and floristic knowledge as a means of underpinning biodiversity conservation is now widely accepted by governments(1). Trishal with an area of 338.98 km2 is one of the important Upazilas of Mymensingh district and is bounded on the north by Mymensingh Sadar Upazila, on the east by Goforgaon Upazila, on the south by Bhaluca Upazila and on the west by Fulbaria Upazila. -

"National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment. -

Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e1019. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e1019 Abstract The flora of Tropical Asia is among the richest in the world, yet the actual diversity is estimated to be much higher than previously reported. Myanmar and Thailand are adjacent countries that together occupy more than the half the area of continental Tropical Asia. This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainforests and high mountain elevations. An updated checklist of aquatic plants, which includes 78 species in 44 genera from 24 families, are presented based on floristic works. This number includes seven species, that have never been listed in the previous floras and checklists. The species (excluding non-indigenous taxa) were categorized by five geographic groups with the exception of to reflect the rich diversity of the countries' floras.

GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field. -
Recovery Strategy for Multi-Species at Risk in Vernal Pools and Other Ephemeral Wet Areas Associated with Garry Oak Ecosystems in Canada
Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series Recovery Strategy for Multi-Species at Risk in Vernal Pools and other Ephemeral Wet Areas Associated with Garry Oak Ecosystems in Canada Bog birds-foot trefoil Tall woolly-heads (Pacific population) Water plantain buttercup Kellogg’s rush Rosy owl clover Dwarf sandwort July 2006 About the Species at Risk Act Recovery Strategy Series What is the Species at Risk Act (SARA)? SARA is the Act developed by the federal government as a key contribution to the common national effort to protect and conserve species at risk in Canada. SARA came into force in 2003 and one of its purposes is “to provide for the recovery of wildlife species that are extirpated, endangered or threatened as a result of human activity.” What is recovery? In the context of species at risk conservation, recovery is the process by which the decline of an endangered, threatened or extirpated species is arrested or reversed, and threats are removed or reduced to improve the likelihood of the species’ persistence in the wild. A species will be considered recovered when its long-term persistence in the wild has been secured. What is a recovery strategy? A recovery strategy is a planning document that identifies what needs to be done to arrest or reverse the decline of a species. It sets goals and objectives and identifies the main areas of activities to be undertaken. Detailed planning is done at the action plan stage. Recovery strategy development is a commitment of all provinces and territories and of three federal agencies — Environment Canada, Parks Canada Agency and Fisheries and Oceans Canada — under the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk. -

Pruning of Select Native Plants
Pruning of Select Native Plants Courtesy of Jane Gulley, Arkansas Master Gardener Pruning rules of thumb: Shrubs If they bloom once in spring, prune after blooming. Otherwise prune late February or early March. That generally means they bloom on new wood. If they bloom on new wood you can give periodic haircuts for wild branches and it won’t hurt the bush or blooms for next year. Wildflowers Real early spring bloomers leave alone. Many of them are ephemerals and will be gone shortly. For those that are early but not ephemeral, you can cut back the foliage when they look ratty, e.g. Columbine, Amsonia, and Penstemon. If the plant blooms mid-summer you can cut it by half early; when it is 6 inches cut to 3 or 4 inches. If the plant blooms late summer you can give it the early cut PLUS a second cut mid-summer; this might delay flowering a week or so, and some blooms might be a little smaller, but it won’t flop and will be sturdier. The second cut should be about a third, not more than half. Keep records of what you do! Write it down and take a picture so you can review and revise each year. If something doesn’t work, don’t it again. 1. Alexanders, Heart–leaved (Zizia aperta) – trim stems to basal clump after flowering. Remove unwanted seedlings when small. 2. Alexanders, Golden (Zizia aurea) – same as above 3. Amsonia, Arkansas (Amsonia hubrichtii) – shear to half, or more, in spring after flowering; sap causes burns on skin 4. -
