[efloraofindia:103183] A new wild ginger discovered from the evergreen forest of Western Ghats of South India

A new wild ginger discovered from the evergreen forest of Western
Ghats of South India

Intensive botanical explorations for taxonomic studies on the members
of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae) in India by V.P. Thomas and M.
Sabu of the University of Calicut, have resulted in the discovery of
an interesting species of Amomum (Cardamom) from Silent Valley
National Park on the Western Ghats of Kerala.

The ginger family consists of 53 genera and over 1,200 species, many
of which are widely used as spices, for medical purposes, or simply
for decoration. Amomum Roxb. is the second largest genus within the
Zingiberaceae, comprising about 150-180 species, including several
types of cardamom. Widely distributed in Southeast Asia, the genus is
represented by 23 species in India, mostly restricted to North-East
India, South India and the Andaman-Nicobar Islands.

In the new species, the authors show some similarities with A.
masticatorium, although the two are clearly distinct. The new plant's
name refers to its locality, i.e. Nilgiri hills, a part of Western
Ghats and one of the hotspots of the Indian subcontinent. The most
notable feature of the plant is the presence of long ligules that
reach up to 9 cm long and small flowers with a long corolla tube.
Almost all parts of the plant are hairy.

It is a high altitude species (found above 1,200 m), and attempts to
conserve it outside its natural locality were unsuccessful. The
conservation status evaluation revealed that it falls under the
critically endangered category of the International Union for
Conservation of Nature, 2001. Conservation measures are to be carried
out very urgently to recover the plant from extinction.

Additional information:

From the 1st of January 2012, PhytoKeys is publishing each paper
separately, on the day it is approved by the editors. The article by
Prof Sabu is the closing one for the 8th issue of the journal, making
it complete.

The hard green fruit of *Trewia nudiflora*, which fall to the ground in
large numbers during the monsoon season, are a preferred food of the Indian
rhinoceros http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_rhinoceros. The passage of
its seeds through the rhino gut enhances its germination rate.

 Just showing desperation does not help. I have been teaching my students
 for last four decades that correct names of tomato is Lycopersicon
 esculentum, and it had in fact been given a seal of stability (we call it
 nomen conservandum in technical language). All the three editions of my book
 had one full page justifying it, but we find it  being named it as Solanum
 lycopercum (in fact the oldest name). I had described several new species
 and given new names to some, but a few are now changed. I did not get
 frustrated because I knew that thousands of researchers all around the world
 are working day and night to tell us how much similarity there is between
 the plants or which names are to be used based on rules of scientific
 naming. Let us be grateful to them for bringing the science to order, and
 not show our frustration. No one is trying to show superiority. If updating
 information is the show of authority, perhaps it can't be helped. If we want
 to remain happy with local names, a safeda to me and you here in warmer
 India is Eucalyptus, but Populus for a Kashmiri who has not seen Eucalyptus
 in valley. I don't know that Palak that we eat in Delhi and other states is
 not Spinach (botanically Spinacea oleracea), it is a variety of beet. Not 5
 per cent of Palak sold in Indian markets is Spinach. Whom do we blame for
 this, because we call both as Palak. Let us spread knowledge on this group
 and not blame others or show our frustration on others.

   Due to some internet problem   I could not access  the group and unable
to interact also, for almost one week.   I tried today from an internet
cafe. I realised that I have missed a lot.
  I will not be able to interact for another few  dyas till the broadband
connection is ready.  Therefore, reply for  any personal communication will
be delayed.  I am sorry.
