It has a wide range of applications such as drug delivery, coatings, energy generation and storage, gas separation, water purification, sensor fabrication, and catalysis. Most of the widely used carbon materials are graphene and carbon nanotubes. Nonrenewable precursors (e.g., natural gas), toxic chemicals, and complex synthesis methods are often required for their preparation, limiting their wide practical applications. Besides these, biomass-derived carbons are attractive materials as they can be prepared simply from renewable biomass. However, their practical applications' success partially depends on their properties like size, shape, porosity, and presence of heteroatoms, which can be controlled by selecting the proper type of biomass, activating agent, and preparation method. It is noted that different species of plants have different chemical compositions and textures. This mini-review summarizes our group's recent sophisticated developments in agricultural-bio-waste-derived carbonaceous materials, including nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting, electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, water splitting, water treatment, gas separation, and enhance oil recovery. This offers valuable insights and essential guidelines towards the future design of agro-waste derived carbonaceous materials in various applications.","PeriodicalId":55590,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Plant Taxonomy","volume":"27 1","pages":"467-478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3329/bjpt.v27i2.50686","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47670372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Arare, fan-shaped palm species, locally called Aanor or Chatipata has primarily been located in the park. The plants have yetto bear any flowers and fruits. Leaf specimens were collected and studied in plant taxonomy laboratory. The sterile specimens were identified as Livistona jenkinsiana Griff. based on external morphological characters. Further exploration is necessary in Bangladesh to find its population status and distribution record of Livistona jenkisiana Griff. When exploring Khadimnagar national park of Sylhet forest division in 2015 to find out the plant species of conservation worthiness the authors were encountered with a number of palms in the stream sides at the beginning of two hours trail near the forest beat office. The area is deep forest with no disturbance from humanity dominated by a good number of tree species particularly Chapalish (Artocarpus chama Buch.-Ham. ex Wall.), Champa (Michelia champaca L.), Agar (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb.), Shegun (Techtona grandis L. f.), Zybans (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl.), bushy vegetations, climbers and annual herbaceous plants. Wildlife population including hanuman was encountered during the visit. Among the palm plants, one palm was identified as Pinanga gracilis which was listed earlier as red plant in our country but other one palm with fan-shaped leaves locally called Aanor or Chatipata could not be identified in the field. The authors observed carefully its vegetative growth form and took a number of images from different angles and also collected plant specimens for further study using traditional taxonomic techniques (Hyland 1972; Alexiades 1996). The specimens later were brought to plant taxonomy laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka where this was thoroughly examined and studied for all morphological properties. The unknown palm species was identified as Livistona jenkinsiana Griffith by matching of its properties with the properties given in the Flora of China (Wu et al., 2007) and Major Jenkin’s palm in Thailand (Barfod et al., 2010). Identification was confirmed by discussing with Professor Anders Sanchez Barfod, Department of Biological Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark and also authenticated by comparing with Google known images of LivistonaJenkinsianaGriff. The species has primarily been reported as rare species recorded from Bangladesh which belongs to the family Arecaceae. Earlier the species was reported by William Griffith in 1845 from Assam and he mentioned the species may occur in Bangladesh. Very recently Barfod et al. (2010) also mentioned that the species may occur in Bangladesh territory. After W. Griffith a good number of works were done on the flora of Bangladesh including Hooker (1892), Prain (1903), Rahman and Hassan (1995), Uddin et al.

Only 11 Leucoagaricus species have been reported from Pakistan so far (Ahmad et al., 1997; Qasim et al., 2015; Ge et al., 2017; Hussain et al., 2018; Usman and Khalid, 2018; Ullah et al., 2020). Leucoagaricus is characterized by small to medium, fleshy or thin basidiomata, ranging in stature from slender to sturdy; a pileus surface that is radially fibrillose, floccose, squamulose to fibrillose-scaly or granulose (rarely); entire or very short striate margins; a central, equal to bulbous stipe with a membranous, sometimes moveable annulus; metachromatic basidiospores generally lack a welldefined germ pore and are thin-walled and smooth; and the pileipellis is either a trichoderm or a cutis of repent and radially arranged hyphae lacking sphaerocysts. Pleurocystidia are absent in most species. Clamp connections are absent (Singer 1986; Vellinga 2001).

This research is an effort to establish the fungal diversity of this forest. During field survey in 2019 for the collection of macrofungi to explore the diversity of these fungi from Changa Manga. A number of basidiomata of Leucoagaricus were collected. Field notes were recorded and the samples were air dried and preserved for future analysis. Macroscopic descriptions were based on the fresh material. Significant characters involve size, shape and color of the pileus; attachment and color of lamellae; presence of annulus on stipe. Color codes were given using Munsell (1975) color system. For micro-morphology, dried samples were examined using standard microscopic techniques. Different chemicals were used as mounting media according to requirements. For rehydration, 5% KOH was used, and for staining the walls of hyaline hyphae, Congo red was used.

Dipterocarp trees are influential in their structure and function (Brearley et al., 2017). Dipterocarps are highly productive (Banin et al., 2014) and important storage of above-ground carbon (Slik et al., 2013). The taxonomy of several genera of Dipterocarpaceae is relatively well defined but the genus Shorea remains problematic and has proved most controversial (Maury-Lechon and Curtet, 1998). In the Philippines, there are about 45 species of dipterocarps distributed in 6 genera (Rojo and Aragones Jr, 1997). It has been well-studied but the identities of individual species remain ambiguous (Rojo and Aragones Jr, 1997). In Mindanao, a species locally known as \"malacayan blanco\" was originally described by Foxworthy (1938) from Zamboanga Province, and named as Pentacme mindanensis. Based on Foxworthy’s description, P. mindanensis has resemblance with Shorea contorta but differs in its large leaves and large fruits. However, Ashton (1978) treated P. mindanensis as a synonym of S. contorta, an island endemic, commonest, and widely distributed dipterocarp species (Foxworthy, 1938; Rojo and Aragones Jr, 1997). Furthermore, there are few detailed morphological, anatomical (Pulan and Buot, 2014), and molecular (Umali, 2016; Villarin et al., 2016) studies on S. contorta. Until recently, Umali (2016) confirmed through molecular characterization that S. contorta and P. mindanensis are two different species. Generally, the recent advancement in biosystematics using DNA sequences has provided evidences to the resolution in the correct classification of many dubious taxon. However, doubts to the reliability of the system arises because many species with very obvious morphological dissimilarities were merged and considered into one species, for instance, Ficus latsonii Elmer and Ficus variegata Blume of Moraceae, the former having a distinct brown-orange trunk while the later has whitish. Also, for the species Melicope monophylla Merr. and Melicope triphylla (Lam.) Merr. of Rutaceae, the former with simple leaf while the latter having a compound one. In this present study, our longstanding knowledge on these species aside from differing fruits and leaf sizes was based mainly on the color of the inner bark with P. mindanensis having a cream-yellow while S. contorta has white. Thus, in support to the work of Umali (2016), we aim to provide more striking differences via leaf morphometrics. Leaf morphometrics has proved to be effective in resolving taxonomic problems and discriminating species.","PeriodicalId":55590,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Plant Taxonomy","volume":"27 1","pages":"461-465"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44802257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nepal is the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious nation with diversified culture and tradition. There are more than 123 caste/ethnic groups speaking 123 languages (CBS, 2011). The ethnic communities have significant customary knowledge on utilization of plant and plant parts and there is a long tradition of transferring this indigenous knowledge from generation to generation (Acharya and Acharya, 2009). However, all the ethnic groups have their own tradition, culture and way of living (Chaudhary et al., 2020). Various communities in Nepal are still giving continuation to the use of plants for their living. Till date, several ethnobotanical studies have been carried out in Nepal to uncover the uses of plants in several communities and rural places (Rajbhandari, 2001; Joshi and Joshi, 2008; Acharya and Acharya, 2009; Malla and Chhetri, 2009; Thapa, 2012; Malla et al., 2015; Chaudhary et al., 2020). Maithili community is one of the ethnic groups with the population of 3.1 million which is about 11.67% of the total population of Nepal (CBS, 2011). Maithili people have developed the diversified use of plants for food, medicine, religious and cultural activities and other purpose. Although, many ethnobotanical studies have been conducted in different parts of the country, ethnobotanical studies of Maithili community have not been documented yet in Nepal. However, Jha and Jha (1996) have documented ritualistic significance of plants associated with Maithili traditions in Northern Bihar, India. Thus, the present study was conducted to identify and record the uses of medicinal and other plant of Maithili people in the Ramdhuni municipality, Sunsari district, Nepal.
