INTRODUCTION

 

After the Rio de Janeiro Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992, exploration of biodiversity becomes more important than ever to know the cause of rapid depletion of biodiversity, their conservation management and to study the effects of climate change. In addition to this, the updated list of plants of a particular region helps to prevent bio-piracy and safeguard traditional knowledge. In this perspective, the Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary was selected for its proper documentation and assessment.

Uttar Pradesh is one of the largest provinces of India occupying an area of about 2,40,928km2, however, its recorded forest area is about 16,583km2 which is only ca. 7% of its geographical area because its maximum area is occupied by agriculture lands and human populations (Anonymous 2011). For safeguarding biodiversity, 23 sanctuaries and one national park have been declared in the province (Anonymous 2011; Srivastava 2004, 2011). Katerniaghat, declared as wildlife sanctuary in May 1976 comprises about 551.64km2 area (ca. 45km long and 12km wide) which includes Katerniaghat, Nishangarah, Dharmapur, Murthia, Kakraha and Motipur ranges (Fig. 1). The sanctuary is one of the most diverse tropical moist deciduous forests in the upper Gangetic plain of Bahraich District in the Terai region along the southern border of Nepal between 27041’–27056′N and 81048′–81056′E with elevation ranges from 116–165 m. The forest division is intersected by an approximately 40km long metallic road from east to west parallel to the railway track which also passes through the forest. The river Girwa flows adjoining to the sanctuary area which meets with Kauriala River at Girijapuri irrigation barrage adjacent to Katerniaghat range. The forest area is also surrounded by several villages from all sides. This imposes anthropogenic pressure on the forest resulting in rapid depletion of plant diversity. Hence, in the present study the whole sanctuary area has been selected to document its entire native plant diversity of angiosperm flora, and cultivated and invasive species.

 

VEGETATION AND CLIMATE

 

 

On the basis of floristic composition the entire sanctuary consists of chiefly four types of forest communities like sal mixed forest, swamp forest, miscellaneous forest and grassland, and an artificial type -- teak plantation. Sal mixed forest, which covers the major portion of the sanctuary, is easily recognized by their large trees which constitute the top most canopy of the forest. Although, in Sal forest, Shorea robusta Gaertn. f. (Sal) is the main dominant species, Terminalia elliptica Willd., Diospyros exculpta Buch.-Ham., Haldina cordifolia (Roxb.) Ridsdale, Mitragyna parvifolia (Roxb.) Korth., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Hymenodictyon orixense (Roxb.) Mabberley, Lagerstroemia parviflora Roxb., and Ehretia laevis Roxb. are also frequently found. The teak plantation has some ground vegetation dominated by climbers like Tiliacora acuminata (Lam.) Miers., and some tree species such as Mallotus philippensis (Lam.) Muell.-Arg., Ficus hispida L.f. and F. squamosa Roxb. are represented here occasionally. The low land forest community is chiefly dominated by Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Ficus hispida L.f., Barringtonia acutangula (L.) Gaertn., Mallotus nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen, Bridelia stipularis (L.) Bl., Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC. and Calamus tenuis Roxb. etc. Mixed forest occupies a large stretch of the sanctuary area chiefly dominated by Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Haldina cordifolia (Roxb.) Ridsdale, Madhuca longifolia (L.) Macbr. var. latifolia (Roxb.) Chev., Schleichera oleosa (Lour.) Merr., Ficus rumphii Blume, F. hispida L. f., Haldina cordifolia (Roxb.) Ridsdale, Mitragyna parvifolia (Roxb.) Korth., Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa, Cassia fistula L., Bauhinia spp., Miliusa tomentosa (Roxb.) Sinclair, Bridelia retusa (L.) A. Juss., Ehretia laevis Roxb., Buchanania cochinchinensis (Lour.) Almeida, Diospyros exculpta Buch.-Ham., Bombax ceiba L., Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. ex DC. among others. The savanna-grassland community mainly found in core zone of the sanctuary area is mainly represented by the members of Poaceae like Desmostachya bipinnata (L.) Stapf., Dendrocalamus strictus (Roxb.) Nees, and Saccharum spontaneum L. along with some trees of Grewia tillifolia Vahl, Sterculia villosa Roxb. ex Sm., Ceriscoides turgida (Roxb.) Tirveng. and Hymenodictyon orixense (Roxb.) Mabberley.

Vertically, the forest vegetation may be divided into upper, middle and lower strata and ground vegetation. The upper stratum constitutes the canopy of large trees like Shorea robusta Gaertn. f., Tectona grandis L.f., Terminalia elliptica Willd., Madhuca longifolia (L.) Macbr. var. latifolia (Roxb.) Chev., Ficus benghalensis L., Ficus racemosa L., Bombax ceiba L., Sterculia villosa Roxb. ex Sm. and Lannea coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr. The midddle stratum is represented by Hymenodictyon orixense (Roxb.) Mabberley, Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Ehretia laevis Roxb., Lagerstroemia parviflora Roxb., Diospyros exculpta Buch.-Ham., Mallotus philippensis (Lam.) Muell.-Arg., M. nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen, Ficus hispida L.f. and Streblus asper Lour. The lower stratum where the minimal light is available consists of Bergera koenigii L., Glycosmis pentaphylla (Retz.) DC., Clerodendrum viscosum Vent., Grewia hirsuta Vahl and Lantana camara L. The ground vegetation is mainly covered by annual and perennial herbs like Polygala arvensis Willd., Primula umbellata (Lour.) Bentv., Anagallis arvensis L., Fumaria indica (Hausskn.) Pugsley, Salvia plebia R. Br. and Melilotus indicus (L.) All. Tiliacora acuminata (Lam.) Miers, Ichnocarpus frutescens (L.) Ait., Smilax ovalifolia Roxb. ex D. Don, Hippocratea arborea Roxb., Bauhinia vahlii Wight. & Arn. and Bridelia stipularis (L.) Bl. are some of the dominant climbers and creepers in the forest.

The climate of the area is monsoonal. The area witnesses three distinct seasonal variations: winter (November–February), summer (April–June) and warm-rainy (July–September). The mean minimum and maximum temperature varied from 8–22 0C in January and to 27–40 0C in May–June. The annual rainfall varies from 36–142 mm in winter, 34–662 mm in summer and 1294–1689 mm in warm-rainy seasons (Bajpai et al. 2012). Detailed studies on ecological parmeters and micro-climatic variables like photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), ambient CO2, air temperature and soil surface temperature in Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary have already been done recently by Behera et al. (2012).

LITERATURE REVIEW

The information on the flora of Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary are available in scattered form in different publications (Panigrahi et al. 1969; Saini 2005; Pandey & Mall 2009; Pandey et al. 2008, 2009; Tripathi & Singh 2009; Behera et al. 2012). Recently Maliya & Datt (2010) and Maliya (2011, 2012, 2012a) have prepared a preliminary list of plants occurring in the sanctuary area which include only about 433 species. With more field trips conducted and different herbaria consulted in the present study, a large numer of species have been added. Kumar et al. (2012) have currently produced a very illustrative account of 11 species of Ficus available in Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary.

MATERIALS and METHODS

From 2008 to 2011 Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuaty was thoroughly explored in different seasons to collect and document the plant diversity. Plants were randomly collected from all kinds of habitats and vegetations following standard herbarium techniques (Lawrence 1951; Jain & Rao 1977). All collected plant materials have been deposited at LWG in the form of herbarium specimens for future record. All species have been correctly identified with the help of flora, revision and published work and compared with earlier authentic collections housed at BSA, BSIP, CDRI and LWG. The correct nomenclature has been provided after consulting large number of recent regional and national floras, literature and different websites like GRIN, IPNI, ILDIS, The Plant List, Wikipedia, Tropicos, etc. In the present study the species have been assigned to the family and genera as per recent taxonomic treatments. The families, the genera under each family and species under each genus have been arranged alphabetically for the sake of convenience. Each species has been provided with correct name along with first citation and some important references pertaining to the flora of the study area. Important synonyms have also been provided. For majority of species the representative voucher specimens have also been included. Some species have been listed only based on previous reports as their specimens were not observed either in any herbarium or in the field. Cultivated species included in the list have been marked with an ‘*’ and also indicated in the habit of the plant. Escapees and alien invasives have been marked with ‘**’. Colour photographs and images of herbarium specimens have been provided for some native species.

RESULT

 

After the critical study of our own collections, survey of literature and examination of previous collections housed at BSA, BSIP, CDRI and LWG, 778 species of native and introduced plants have been included here out of which 613 species under 386 genera and 91 families belong to dicots and 165 species under 103 genera and 23 families to monocots (Fig. 2). These species include 149 trees belonging to 105 genera and 41 families, 81 shrubs belonging to 54 genera and 23 families, 445 herbs belonging to 287 genera and 73 families and 103 climbers belonging to 77 genera and 31 families (Fig. 3). Among different families in dicots, Fabaceae occupies the highest position with 100 species and 46 genera followed by Asteraceae (51 spp. and 40 genera), Malvaceae (36 spp. and 12 genera), Lamiaceae (29 spp. and 19 genera) and Acanthaceae (26 spp. and 14 genera) and so on (Fig. 4) while in monocots the largest family is Poaceae having 65 species under 44 genera followed by Cyperaceae (34 spp. and 10 genera), Orchidaceae (9 spp. and 7 genera), Zingiberaceae (6 spp. and 5 genera), Asparagaceae (6 spp. and 4 genera) and Hydrocharitaceae (6 spp. and 6 genera) and so on (Fig. 5). In Fig. 6, the 20 dominant families of both dicots and monocots have been included based on number of species. Cyperus L. (14 spp.) has been found as the largest genus among all groups followed by Ficus L. (13 spp.), Grewia L. (10 spp.), Crotalaria L. (9 spp.), Solanum L. (9 spp.), and Ipomoea L. (8 spp.) (Fig. 7). On the other hand, about 48 families and 355 genera are represented by a solitary genus and species respectively. Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa, Diospyros exsculpta Buch.-Ham., Ehretia laevis Roxb., Ficus hispida L. f, Madhuca longifolia (L.) Macbr. var. latifolia (Roxb.) Chev., Mallotus philippensis (Lam.) Muell.-Arg., M. nudiflorus (L.) Kulju & Welzen, Shorea robusta Gaertn. f., Syzygium cumini (L.) Skeels, Tectona grandis L. f., Terminalia elliptica Willd. etc. are some of the dominant tree species in the forest. The species which are cultivated and invasives in the forest area constitute about 10.5% (approximate 82 species) of the total flora. Since the forest area is surrounded by agricultural fields and many villages, many ornamental and cultivated species are seen in the forest. In addition, the forest department also plant non-native ornamentals near rest houses and along roadsides for beautification of the sanctuary.
