Introduction There are approximately 700 identified species of carnivorous plants placed in 15 genera of nine families of dicotyledonous plants (Albert et al. 1992; Ellison & Gotellli 2001; Fleischmann 2012; Rice 2006) (Table 1). In India, a total of five genera of carnivorous plants are reported with 44 species; viz. Utricularia (38 species), Drosera (3), Nepenthes (1), Pinguicula (1), and Aldrovanda (1) (Santapau & Henry 1976; Anonymous 1988; Singh & Sanjappa 2011; Zaman et al. 2011; Kamble et al. 2012). Inter- estingly, northeastern India is the home of all five insectivorous genera, namely Nepenthes (com- monly known as tropical pitcher plant), Drosera (sundew), Utricularia (bladderwort), Aldrovanda (waterwheel plant), and Pinguicula (butterwort) with a total of 21 species. The area also hosts the “ancestral false carnivorous” plant Plumbago zelayanica, often known as murderous plant. Climate Lowland to mid-altitude areas are characterized by subtropical climate (Table 2) with maximum temperatures and maximum precipitation (monsoon) in summer, i.e., May to September (in some places the highest temperatures are reached already in April), and average temperatures usually not dropping below 0°C in winter.

  • Datura- a Devil Weed Or Angel's Trumpet
    Datura- A Devil Weed Or Angel’s Trumpet. Review Article by : Shaheen Bibi Email: [email protected] 1 Datura Inoxia- A Devil weed or Angel’s Trumpet Abstract Datura is a mystery Plant. It belongs to family Solanaceae. There are many important species of genus Datura. Despite of many reports about being toxic, its still debated for its medicinal properties. The genus Datura has a vast history from early time through World War till modern times. Since long time, Datura has been used as a folk medicine in many ancient cultures and even used today. The ethnobotanical information predicts its useful drug value. This plant is well known for its hallucinogenic property. Heiser states that Datura is genus of contrast-from smelly weeds to lovely ornamentals”. 38 Analyzing the chemical profile of Datura , it is reported to be rich in alkaloids. These alkaloids are member of Tropane. Important tropines are Atropine, Scopolamine and Hyoscyamine. The highest in percentage of atropine in D.inoxia is found in its seeds.39 Datura can cause various complications. Some of its effects are systemic. The primary and alarming sign of toxicity with D.inoxia is mydriasis i.e. the change in pupil centration 40,41. Atropine also has the hallucination effect. It blocks the action of acetylcholine at its receptors. Datura inoxia foliage is also harmful for grazing animals or animals that feed on the seeds. Datura inoxia has an anticholinergic property. This property is due to presence of Scopolamine 18. Interestingly, there are beetles and some bees that survive on Datura and they have established certain biochemical mechanisms to defend themselves against the plants intoxicating chemicals.

    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Study Of Soil And Vegetation Characteristics In The Lower Gangetic Plains Of West Bengal Rimi Roy1*, Mousumi Maity2, and Sumit Manna3. 1Department of Botany, Jagannath Kishore College, Purulia -723101, West Bengal, India. 2Department of Botany, Scottish Church College, Kolkata-700006, West Bengal, India. 3Department of Botany, Moyna College, affiliated to Vidyasagar University, Moyna, Purba Medinipur -721629, West Bengal, India. ABSTRACT The Lower Gangetic Plains particularly from Dakhineshwar to Uluberia, West Bengal was investigated for the taxonomic and ecological analyses of its naturalized vegetation. The physicochemical studies of soil were also performed from this site. It was observed mangrove plants prevailed at zones where higher percentage of silt was present, while inland plants were grown where percentage of sand and clay were higher. A total of 95 plant species were recorded and their phytoclimatic study was done and the result revealed that percentage of phanerophytes was maximum among others. From phytosociological study it was observed that mangrove associates such as Cryptocoryne ciliata and Oryza coarctata showed highest IVI values, on the other hand Cynodon dactylon was dominated at non-mangrove site. The present analyses indicated existence of two distinct plant communities in the site with more or less stable vegetation pattern. Keywords: Lower Gangetic Plain, vegetation, diversity, community *Corresponding author May–June 2017 RJPBCS 8(3) Page No. 1558 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Though India has a wide range of vegetation comprising of tropical rain forest, tropical deciduous forest, thorny forest, montane vegetation and mangrove forest, the Gangetic Plains in India form an important biogeographic zone in terms of vegetation characterized by fine alluvium and clay rich swamps, fertile soil and high water retention capacity.

Garten, Wissenschaft & Pädagogik, Siesmayerstr. 61, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Abstract. We combined grass (Poaceae) occurrence data from the Sahelian parts of Burkina Faso, West Africa, with data on the photosynthetic type of these species. Occurrence data were compiled from relevés and collections of the Herbarium Senckenbergianum, and the assignment of photosynthetic types was taken from the literature and completed by leaf ana- tomical observations of our own. We used the occurrence data to model species distributions using GARP (Genetic algo- rithm of rule-set production) and high-resolution satellite data (Landsat ETM+) as environmental predictors. In a subse- quent step we summarized the distributions of single species for each photosynthetic type. The resulting distribution patterns reflect the ecological preferences connected with photosynthetic pathways. The only C3 species is strictly bound to watercourses and temporary lakes, C4 MS species mainly occur on the dunes, C4 PS-PCK species are mainly from dunes and watercourses, C4 PS-NAD type species dominate the drier peneplains.

Mitchell Arid Zone Research Institute, Animal Industry and Agriculture Branch, Department of the Northern Territory, Alice Springs, N.T. 5750. Abstract This paper presents a synopsis of the nomenclature of the family Lythraceae in the Northern Territory. Keysto the genera and species have been prepared. The family Lythraceae has been neglected in Australian systematics, andas a result both the taxonomy and nomenclature are confused. Not since the early work of Koehne (1881, 1903) has there been any major revision of the family. Recent work has been restricted to regional floras (Polatschek and Rechinger 1968; Chamberlain 1972; Dar 1975), with Bentham's Flora (1886) being the most recenton the family in Australia. From a survey of the available literature the author has attempted to extract all the relevant names applicable to Australian material and to present them solelyas a survey of the nomenclature of the group. No type material has beenseen, and the only material examined was that lodged in the Department of the Northern Territory Herbariaat Alice Springs (NT) and Darwin (DNA).

  • Carnivorous Plant Newsletter V44 N4 December 2015
    Technical Refereed Contribution Several pygmy Sundew species possess catapult-flypaper traps with repetitive function, indicating a possible evolutionary change into aquatic snap traps similar to Aldrovanda Siegfried R. H. Hartmeyer and Irmgard Hartmeyer • Weil am Rhein • Germany • s.hartmeyer@ t-online.de • www.hartmeyer.de Keywords: Drosera, pygmy Sundew, Aldrovanda, Dionaea, Droseraceae, Collembola, carnivorous plant, catapult-flypaper trap, snap trap, snap-tentacle, functional morphology, phylogeny. Abstract: Approximately 50 species of pygmy Sundews (genus Drosera, section Bryastrum) occur in the South of Australia and one each in New Zealand (D. pygmaea) and Venezuela (D. meristo- caulis). They grow mainly as small stemless rosettes possessing minute trapping leaves of 1-2 mm diameter with prominent marginal tentacles, or have elongated erect stems. The caulescent species possess only mucus-producing tentacles that are most effective in capturing small flying insects. The acaulescent species in contrast are specialized on crawling prey (Verbeek & Boasson 1993) and have developed mucus-free snap-tentacles (Fig. 1), able to bend surprisingly rapidly towards the leaf center. They lift prey like, e.g. springtails (Collembola) from the ground and carry it with a 180°-movement from the periphery of the plant onto the sticky leaf. Our examinations brought to light that several small species of section Bryastrum are able to catapult small animals even within fractions of a second. If the whole leaf is touched, several or even all marginal tentacles perform such bending movements simultaneously. We documented this behavior on video, featured on our film “Catapults in Pygmyland” on YouTube (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k7GYGibdjM). Our results prove that more than only one species in the genus Drosera possess rapidly moving catapult-flypaper traps and that the examined pygmy catapults show a further specialization and function repeatedly (in contrast to the one-shot snap tentacles of D.

(c) PREFACE Weeds are plants which interfere in human activities and welfare. They are a problem not only in cropped lands but also in non-cropped areas, pastures, aquatic bodies, roadsides, parks etc. In agricultural crops, weeds may cause on an average 37% reduction in yields, whereas, in non-cropped areas they reduce the value of the land. Weeds can be of different types. The category of creeper or climber weeds has characteristics different than other weeds. These weeds are capable of creeping or climbing as they have special structures such as tendrils, hooks, twining stems and leaves etc. In agricultural crops they can climb up the crop plants, shade them and compete for resources reducing the yields.

  • Chapter 6 ENUMERATION
    Chapter 6 ENUMERATION . ENUMERATION The spermatophytic plants with their accepted names as per The Plant List [http://www.theplantlist.org/ ], through proper taxonomic treatments of recorded species and infra-specific taxa, collected from Gorumara National Park has been arranged in compliance with the presently accepted APG-III (Chase & Reveal, 2009) system of classification. Further, for better convenience the presentation of each species in the enumeration the genera and species under the families are arranged in alphabetical order. In case of Gymnosperms, four families with their genera and species also arranged in alphabetical order. The following sequence of enumeration is taken into consideration while enumerating each identified plants. (a) Accepted name, (b) Basionym if any, (c) Synonyms if any, (d) Homonym if any, (e) Vernacular name if any, (f) Description, (g) Flowering and fruiting periods, (h) Specimen cited, (i) Local distribution, and (j) General distribution. Each individual taxon is being treated here with the protologue at first along with the author citation and then referring the available important references for overall and/or adjacent floras and taxonomic treatments. Mentioned below is the list of important books, selected scientific journals, papers, newsletters and periodicals those have been referred during the citation of references.
