    Roscoea Megalantha (Zingiberaceae), a New Species from Eastern Bhutan and India

    EDINBURGH JOURNAL OF BOTANY Page1of 9 1 © Trustees of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (2017) doi: 10.1017/S0960428617000142 ROSCOEA MEGALANTHA (ZINGIBERACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM EASTERN BHUTAN AND INDIA T. Yoshida 1, R. Yangzom2 &M.F.Newman3 A new species of Roscoea is described and illustrated. Roscoea megalantha Tosh.Yoshida & R.Yangzom occurs in the Eastern Zone of Bhutan and neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh in India. A distribution map and an IUCN conservation assessment are given. A key to the three species of Roscoea found in Bhutan is provided. Keywords. Arunachal Pradesh, Bhutan, IUCN conservation assessment, new species, Roscoea. Introduction During a botanical expedition to Merak in Trashigang district, easternmost Bhutan, carried out by the Blue Poppy Society, Japan, and the National Biodiversity Centre, Bhutan, in the summer of 2014, numerous plants of great scientific interest were encountered. Among them were two populations of a species of Roscoea Sm. that appeared to represent a new taxon. Roscoea is a genus of 21 species belonging to the tribe Zingibereae, subfamily Zingiberoideae. It is distributed from Himachal Pradesh in the west to Sichuan in the east, and as far south as Mount Victoria in Burma (Cowley, 2007; Mao & Bhaumik, 2008). These species are among the most cold-tolerant of Zingiberaceae, occurring from 1000 to 5000 m altitude. The plants are geophytes, producing their leaves and flowers in the summer, and dying down to their rhizomes during the winter. In 2014, on the way from Samdrup Jongkhar to Trashigang, the first two authors saw some beautiful plants of Roscoea with large, whitish flowers streaked and flashed with purple on the labellum, by a huge rocky cliff named Melong Brak (= mirror cliff) to the right of the road, on a hill at 2200 m altitude.

    SRGC ----- Bulb Log Diary ----- Pictures and text © Ian Young BULB LOG 27 .....................................6th July 2011 Arisaema nepenthoides The opening shot this week is of the striking stems and seed head on Arisaema nepenthoides, one of my favourites of this attractive genus. As the season advances the berries will start to colour up and by the time they are ripe they will be bright red. They germinate well as the picture of a pot of seedlings sown in autumn of 2009 shows, you could not cram any more in. Around three weeks ago I noticed this pot had flopped due to lack of water so I placed it into a shallow tray of water. There has been water in the tray all this time and the plants are growing really strongly so maybe sitting with their bases in water is a good way to grow certain pots of seedlings. I will plant them out into the garden when they go dormant this year. Arisaema nepenthoides seedlings sown autumn 2009 Arisaema flavum Always the last of the Arisaema to appear and flower in our garden is the tiny flowered Arisaema flavum – the flower is only 1-2 cms from the top of the stem to the top of the flower. Crocus pelistericus Crocus pelistericus is the only species I grow that pushes its seeds up on such a tall stem and it does it remarkably quickly. The stem goes from nothing to almost the length of a pencil, pushing the seed capsule from underground to 15cms above ground as it opens to reveal the precious contents.

    Environment Conservation Journal 17(1&2) 17-32, 2016 ISSN 0972-3099 (Print) 2278-5124 (Online) Abstracted and Indexed Floristic composition of Agrakhal-Kunjapuri area of District Tehri Garhwal, Uttarkhand, India Pramod Kumar Received: 12.03.2016 Accepted: 28.04.2016 Abstract The present area of investigation lies at the elevation from 1300 to 1800 m in the montane zone of Garhwal Himalaya and is covered with dense oak forest. It is situated at a distance of 10 km northwards from Narendra Nagar town of district Tehri Garhwal. For recording the flora of the study area, extensive field studies were conducted for three years (December 1993 to November 1996). The floristic exploration yielded 456 species of vascular plants belonging to 306 genera and 95 families. Among the plant forms the biggest group was of herbs (320 species) followed by shrubs with 84 species and trees with 37 species. The plant diversity of the study area consisted of 439 species of angiosperms (343 dicots and 96 monocots) belonging to 293 genera (218 of dicots and 75 monocots) and 84 families (71 of dicots and 13 of monocots). Pinus roxburghii and Cedrus deodara represented the gymnospermous group. Among Pteridophytes 14 species belong to ferns and one to fern-allies. The plant diversity of the area is quite rich with all habit forms of a Varity of vascular plants. The minimum diversity on south and south-west slopes may be attributed to drier condition. South-east slope had the highest diversity because it consisted of scattered woody vegetation which caused the development of more herbaceous species.
