Abstract

The present study deals with the floristic inventory of higher plants (angiosperms and gymnosperms) found in a richly biodiverse temperate forest area (Adhwani forest; 30º06′1″–30º06′7″ N and 78º72′3″ –78º72′6″ E; 1700–2200 m asl (above sea level) in western Himalaya, India. A total of 477 species of flowering plants belonging to 105 families and 315 genera were recorded in the Adhwani forest and its fringe areas. The information on plant life form, flowering and fruiting, local elevational distribution, indigenous uses and availability status are provided. An account of the invasive and alien species occurring in the area is also provided. Gentiana cephalodes Edgew. (Gentianaceae) and Buddleja crispa Benth. (Buddlejaceae) are revealed as new distribution recordings among the flora of Garhwal district. Asteraceae (47 species and 33 genera) was the dominant family followed by Fabaceae, Poaceae, Lamiaceae, Rosaceae and Ranunculaceae. Desmodium (9 species) was a dominant genus in the study area followed by Crotolaria, Cyperus and Euphorbia (6 species each). The herbs dominate the life forms of the area with 317 species (66.45%) followed by shrubs (14.46%), trees (12.99%) and climbers (6.07%). The flora of the area represents three IUCN index species viz. Quercus lamellosa (NT), Quercus oblongata (NT) and Ulmus wallichiana (VU) and 57 invasive and alien species. The presented catalogue with comprehensive information on of higher plants will be helpful to the plant scientists, planners and forest department when for developing and managing this richly biodiverse forest area.
印度西喜马拉雅Adhwani温带森林及其边缘地区高等植物目录
本文研究了生物多样性丰富的温带森林地区(Adhwani森林;30º06′1″-30º06′7″N和78º72′3″-78º72′6″E;印度喜马拉雅山脉西部海拔1700-2200米(海拔以上)。在阿德瓦尼森林及其边缘地区共记录有花植物477种,隶属于105科315属。提供了植物生命形式、开花结果、当地海拔分布、土著利用和可利用状况等信息。还提供了发生在该地区的入侵和外来物种的说明。龙胆。(龙胆科)和龙胆草。(buddlejacae)是Garhwal地区植物区系中新的分布记录。优势科为Asteraceae(47种33属),其次为Fabaceae、Poaceae、Lamiaceae、蔷薇科和毛茛科。研究区主要优势属为刺草属(9种)、沙草属(6种)和大戟属(6种)。植被类型以草本植物为主,共有317种(66.45%),其次为灌木(14.46%)、乔木(12.99%)和攀缘植物(6.07%)。区内主要植物区系有3种IUCN指数种,即薄层栎(Quercus lamellosa, NT)、长叶栎(Quercus oblongata, NT)和乌尔姆(Ulmus wallichiana, VU)和57种外来入侵种。本文所提供的高等植物目录将有助于植物科学家、规划人员和林业部门对这一生物多样性丰富的林区进行开发和管理。
