Tropical regions are richer in quantity and diversity of wetlands. Aquatic plants SAMPLEare widely distributed in theseCHAPTERS areas, represented by rivers, lakes, swamps, coastal lagoons, and others. These environments also occur in non tropical regions, but aquatic plant species diversity is lower than tropical regions. Colonization of bodies of water and wetland areas by aquatic plants was only possible due to the acquisition of certain evolutionary characteristics that enable them to live and reproduce in water. Aquatic plants have several habits, known as life forms that vary from emergent, floating-leaves, submerged free, submerged fixed, amphibian and epiphyte.

  • Asteraceae Is One of the Largest Families of Flowering Plants Which Has Not Been Revised for the Flora Malesiana (Ross 1993)
    BIOTROPIA NO. 19, 2002 : 65 - 84 NOTES ON THE ASTERACEAE OF SUMATERA SRI SUDARMIYATI TJITROSOEDIRDJO Dept. of Biology, Faculty of Science and Mathematics, Bogor Agricultural University, Jl. Raya Pajajaran, Bogor and South East Asian Regional Center for Tropical Biology (SEAMEO BIOTROP) P.O. Box 116, Bogor, Indonesia. ABSTRACT An account of the tribe composition, endemic taxa, comparison with adjacent areas and weedy Asteraceae of Sumatera is given. Based on the records of January 2000, there are 133 species of 74 genera in 11 tribes. The tribe Heliantheae is the largest, with 28% of the total number of the genera, followed by Astereae with 15%, Inuleae 12%, Senecioneae 10%, Anthemideae, Eupatorieae and Lactuceae 8%, the other tribes are represented by 4% or less. The most diverse genus is Blumea with 14 species. Other genera are only represented by 10 species or less, usually 4, or 3, or 2, and mostly by 1 species only. Thirty nine or about 53% are exotic genera and the native ones are less than half of the total number of the genera. In terms of indigenous and endemic species, Sumatera is richer than Java. There are 1 genus, 7 species and 2 varieties of Asteraceae endemic to Sumatera. A number of 43 important weed species were introduced from Tropical America, Africa, Asia and Europe. Among these Chromolaena odorata and Mikania micrantha are reported as the most noxious ones. List of the genera and species recorded in Sumatera is provided in this paper. Key words : Asteraceae/Sumatera/compositions/endemic species/distribution/weedy Asteraceae INTRODUCTION Asteraceae is one of the largest families of flowering plants which has not been revised for the Flora Malesiana (Ross 1993).

The present study was conducted Copraburi (CSG) and Kawa-Sarnd (KSG) sacred grove in Nayagram block of the Jhargram district under west Bengal, in appreciation of its role in biodiversity conservation. The study aimed at the documentation and inventory of sacred groves, its phytodiversity, social, ecological and economical role with mild threats. A total of 120 species belonging to 113 genera distributed 43 families from 24 orders were recorded from the sacred groves according to the APG IV (2016) classification, which covering 47, 26, 23, 24 species of herbs, shrubs, tree, climbers respectively. Moreover, both groves support locally useful medicinal plants for various ailments. This is the first ethnobotanical study in which statistical calculations about plants are done by fidelity level (FL) in the study area. Therefore, there is an urgent need not only to protect the sacred forest, but also to revive and reinvent such traditional way of nature conservation. Keywords: APG IV; Biodiversity; Conservation; Ethnobotany; Sacred grove; West Bengal Introduction Extensive areas of the tropics have been heavily degraded by inappropriate land use, especially extensive cattle grazing [1].

Asteraceae B. Ravi Prasad Rao and B. Swetha Biodiversity Conservation Division, Department of Botany, Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapur, 515003, Andhra Pradesh, India Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] [Received revised 08.04.2013; Accepted 15.04.2013] Abstract Of the 119 taxa of Asteraceae recorded from the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh, 85 are found in Eastern Himalayan region of India, and 27 of them are common and found throughout the Eastern Ghats of the state and remaining are with restricted distribution. All the taxa are systematically enumerated with updated nomenclature and distribution pattern in the Eastern Ghats districts of Andhra Pradesh. Key words: Asteraceae, Eastern Himalaya, Eastern Ghats, Andhra Pradesh, Distribution INTRODUCTION The Eastern Ghats, the warmer spot of biodiversity of Peninsular India are an assemblage of discontinuous hill ranges, distributed in four southern and Eastern states of India: Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamilnadu, 60 % of them lying in Andhra Pradesh. In Andhra Pradesh, the Ghats lies between 13°32' – 18° 20’N Latitude and 78° 30' – 84°08' E Longitude. Eastern Himalaya, one of the 34 global biodiversity hotspots is situated between Central Nepal to Myanmar in the East encompassing south-east Tibet, North Bengal, Bhutan and North-East India. The Eastern Himalayas in India covers Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Darjeeling hills of West Bengal. Relevant information on both the regions has been presented in earlier papers of this series (Rao et al 2009 a & b; Rao et al 2010a & b) and Singh (1971).
