Research on the Mural Flora of Sidhi City in Madhya Pradesh, India | Chapter 7 | Recent Trends in the Study of Botanical Research Volume - 1

 

The current chapter discusses the mural floristic composition of Sidhi city, Madhya Pradesh. A total of 60 mural plants were documented, including bryophytes and pteridophytes. The angiospermic mural flora comprised 51 genera from 29 distinct families. Additionally, two bryophyte species and two pteridophyte species were also observed in the study.

Documentation and Investigation into the Floristic Composition of Barakat Area (Gazira State) Sudan | Chapter 9 | Research Aspects in Biological Science Vol. 4

 

 A study on floral composition was carried out in the Barakat Area of Sudan's Gazira State. During two field surveys, random plant specimens were gathered from varied locations. At the University of Khartoum's Faculty of Science, samples were prepared and stored there. A total of 127 angiosperm species from 43 botanical groupings were found. There were 36 families and 110 dicotyledons, with the most species belonging to the Fabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Mimosaceae, Convolvulaceae, and Caesalpinaceae families. Seven families containing 17 monocotyledon plant species were discovered, with the Poaceae and Cyperaceae groups having the greatest representation. Polygonaceae, Aristolochiaceae, Vitaceae, Cleomaceae, and Commelinaceae were the least prevalent families. Numerous of species were native flora, but just 27 were grown. Additionally, parasitic plants from the families Loranthaceae and Scrophulariaceae were identified. In total, there were 26 trees, 15 shrubs, 81 herbs, and 5 climbers in the flora. With 4 species, Euphorbia was the most widespread genus, followed by Acacia with 3. The indigenous flora made up 78.7 percent of the total, while the cultivated species made up 21.3 percent. In the research region, vegetation was found in three strata, with trees such as Acacia nilotica (Sunut), Acacia nubica (Laot), and Ziziphus spina-christi dominating the top layer (Sidir). Colatropis procera (Ushar) dominated the shrub layer, the second (intermediate) layer, while Cynodon dactylon ruled the third herbaceous layer. This research will be beneficial.

Study about an Inventory of Flora in Um Dom Island (Khartoum State), Sudan | Chapter 14 | Current Topics in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 8

The flora data for Um Dom Island, one of the partially stabilised islands in Khartoum State, Sudan, is documented and updated in this study. There was collection, processing, and identification. Herbarium specimens were created and placed at the University of Khartoum's Faculty of Science Herbarium. Comparing identified species to samples from the same herbarium. This investigation demonstrated the region's abundance in flora. A total of 74 flowering plant species from 33 distinct families were discovered. Three Monocotyledon families and thirty Dicotyledon families were present. There were 66 weedy species of native Um Dom Island vegetation. There were eight species that were cultivated. 89.2% of plant species are spontaneous, while 10.8% are cultivated, for example. The island's native plant is Tamarix nilotica, whereas Calotropis procera was brought in from the nearby semi-desert region. There were no recognised non-floral variations. Three layers of plants have been discovered in the area being examined. Acacia nilotica, Ziziphus spina-christi, Faidherbia albida, and Prosopis juliflora make up the majority of the uppermost tree layer. Calotropis procera and Tamarix nilotica dominate the second shrub layer, whereas Cyperus sp. and Cenchrus prieurii rule the third herb layer. Poaceae, which is represented by 11 species, Cyperaceae, which is represented by 6 species, and Amaranthaceae, which is represented by (4 species). The most significant human influences on the local vegetation are overgrazing and agriculture. This study will aid and illustrate how changes in plant cover might lead to land degradation and an arid environment by acting as a starting point and a point of reference for future studies.
