2. ACER Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 2: 1054. 1753. 枫属 Feng Shu Trees Or Shrubs
Fl. China 11: 516–553. 2008. 2. ACER Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 2: 1054. 1753. 枫属 feng shu Trees or shrubs. Leaves mostly simple and palmately lobed or at least palmately veined, in a few species pinnately veined and entire or toothed, or pinnately or palmately 3–5-foliolate. Inflorescence corymbiform or umbelliform, sometimes racemose or large paniculate. Sepals (4 or)5, rarely 6. Petals (4 or)5, rarely 6, seldom absent. Stamens (4 or 5 or)8(or 10 or 12); filaments distinct. Carpels 2; ovules (1 or)2 per locule. Fruit a winged schizocarp, commonly a double samara, usually 1-seeded; embryo oily or starchy, radicle elongate, cotyledons 2, green, flat or plicate; endosperm absent. 2n = 26. About 129 species: widespread in both temperate and tropical regions of N Africa, Asia, Europe, and Central and North America; 99 species (61 endemic, three introduced) in China. Acer lanceolatum Molliard (Bull. Soc. Bot. France 50: 134. 1903), described from Guangxi, is an uncertain species and is therefore not accepted here. The type specimen, in Berlin (B), has been destroyed. Up to now, no additional specimens have been found that could help clarify the application of this name. Worldwide, Japanese maples are famous for their autumn color, and there are over 400 cultivars. Also, many Chinese maple trees have beautiful autumn colors and have been cultivated widely in Chinese gardens, such as Acer buergerianum, A. davidii, A. duplicatoserratum, A. griseum, A. pictum, A. tataricum subsp. ginnala, A. triflorum, A. truncatum, and A. wilsonii. In winter, the snake-bark maples (A. davidii and its relatives) and paper-bark maple (A. -

The main purpose of this study is to obtain specimens, seeds and living collections with passport data for the potential use. This exploration was the third of our whole research regarding the investigation of the flora of eastern Asia. The expedition was carried out by a team of scientists from T. B. Lee Herbarium, Seoul National University (SNUA), and the Institute of Botany in Beijing (PE). This cooperation insured involvement by both Chinese and Korean experts in all targeted taxonomic groups, and was essential to successful execution of field studies in China. Field survey was carried out two times in July and September, 2004. From our expedition to western Sichuan, we could visited evergreen broad-leaved and deciduous forests mix (1,800 to 2,500 m), subalpine and alpine conifers [2,500 to 3,200 m; its mountain valleys abundant in spruces, firs and pines, form the (somewhat overlogged) major wood resource for Sichuan], alpine shrublands and meadows (3,200 to 4,500 m) and alpine rock vegetation (above 4,500 m). -

To revise the flora of KFRI Sub Centre Campus 2. To adopt water and soil conservation methods for providing suitable habitats for the growth and establishment of seedlings/ propagules Project period April 2006- March 2012 Funded by KFRI Plan Grant Scientific personnel U.M. Chandrashekara CONTENTS ABSTRACT 1 INTRODUCTION 2 MATERIALS AND METHOD 3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3 Floristic study 3 Soil and water management 50 Protection 51 CONCLUSION 52 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 53 REFERENCES 53 ABSTRACT A taxonomic survey was carried out to assess the diversity of angiosperm taxa in the campus of Kerala Forest Research Sub Centre at Nilambur. The data were collected during April 2006 to March 2012. A total of 1643 taxa belonging to 152 families were recorded in which 1452 taxa represented species (sub species and natural varities included) and the rest represented cultivars and hybrids. Orchidaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Acanthaceae were families having highest number of taxa, 131, 92 and 71 respectively. Increasing anthropogenic influences on the environment, especially urbanization, have caused negative changes in natural ecosystems in and around Nilambur. In this context, the KFRI Sub Centre campus is an important green campus with its floral richness. -

The new IUCN Red List criteria have been revised by IUCN to reflect the need for greater objectivity and precision when categorising species for conservation action. The CAMP process, developed by the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, has emerged as an effective, flexible, participatory and scientific methodology for conducting species prioritisation exercises using the IUCN criteria. Since 1995, the Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions has been con- ducting CAMP Workshops for one of the major groups of conservation concern, medici- nal plants. -

LAURENT GARCIN, M.D. F.R.S.: A FORGOTTEN SOURCE FOR N. L. BURMAN’S FLORA INDICA (1768) ALEXANDRA COOK1 Abstract. Laurent Garcin (ca. 1681–1751), a Dutch East India Company ship’s surgeon, Fellow of the Royal Society and correspond- ing member of the Académie royale des sciences (Paris), has largely vanished from the annals of botanical and medical science. Yet data presented in this article demonstrate that ca. 1740 he gave some or all of his plant collections from his Asian travels in the 1720s to J. Burman, a correspondent in Amsterdam. Those collections in turn greatly enriched Flora Indica by N. Burman (hereafter Burman fil.) to the tune of 98 specimens. Burman’s work is an important historical source for the botany not only of modern-day India, as the title suggests, but also of Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Iran—the “Indies” as they were understood in the eighteenth century. So far only a handful of Garcin’s specimens have come to light (G-Burman). These few extant specimens testify to Garcin’s collecting zeal and keen eye for materia medica. Keywords: Asia, Johannes Burman, Cinnamomum, Garcinia, materia medica, Salvadora Laurent Garcin (ca. 1681–1751),2 a Franco-Swiss botanist, of the Swiss Confederation) (Chambrier 1900: 251; Bridel Dutch East India Company (hereafter VOC) ship’s surgeon, 1831: 99). Upon joining the VOC Garcin himself reported Fellow of the Royal Society and corresponding member that he came from Nyon, a town in the canton of Vaud not of the Académie royale des sciences (Paris), has largely far from Geneva. -
Plant Communities, Species Richness and Life-Forms Along Elevational Gradients in Taibai Mountain, China
African Journal of Agricultural Research Vol. 7(12), pp. 1834-1848, 26 March, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJAR DOI: 10.5897/AJAR11.1322 ISSN 1991-637X ©2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Plant communities, species richness and life-forms along elevational gradients in Taibai Mountain, China Xuemin Ren 1,2 , Gaihe Yang 1,2 *, Fenmeng Zhu 1, Xiaowei Qin 1,2 , Dexiang Wang 3, Zhenxue Liu 2,3 and Yongzhong Feng 1,2 1College of Agronomy, Northwest A & F University, Yangling 712100, China. 2The Research Center of Recycle Agricultural Engineering and Technology of Shaanxi Province, Yangling 712100, China. 3College of Forest, Northwest A & F University, Yangling 712100, China. Accepted 30 January, 2012 Understanding the distribution patterns of vegetation, species richness and plant life-forms along elevational gradients can suggest important implications for developing optimal strategies for conservation of species diversity, sustainable managing and utilizing plant resources. We explored the relationships between vegetation, species richness and plant life-forms and the separate elevational gradients on the south slope and the north slope of Taibai Mountain. Eight plant communities were clearly identifiable on each slope and these communities presented zonational distributions along elevational gradients, however, the elevational ranges occupied by different communities had more overlaps at middle elevations (c. 2250 - 3350 m a.s.l.) than at two extremes. Three communities (Quences spinosa , Acer caesium subsp. giraldii and Carex capilliformis var. major communities) were first found in the area. Total species richness demonstrated a significant hump-shaped relationship with elevations on both slopes. Overall, phanerophytes, geophytes and hemicryptophytes were the most dominant life-forms, while camaephytes and therophytes were the rarest life-forms.
