Where lichens are to be found in park. 8. How to use the keys. 9. Key to the common lichens of Corbett Tiger reserve. 10. Species description. Glossary. In the last century a lot of research work regarding the Indian lichens has been done by the European and Indian lichenologist. However there is no single booklet or field guide of lichen is written for the amateur naturalist. Lichens are among the most widely distributed plant organism in the world. To date there are about 20 000 lichen species known in the world out of which Indian subcontinent is represented by 2 450 species. Few professional lichenologist only know about this unique creation of nature. Thus the present booklet is an experiment to popularize the lichens among wide audience of this country. A field guide can serve its purpose only if it is small. Therefore only 25 common lichen taxa of the park are included for making the guide handy and unexpensive. The colour illustrations are included since colour is an important feature in identification of lichens. The colour illustrations are enlarged enough to give a good idea of the different taxa. 41 pp.…

The present book is the outcome of an extensive collection and critical investigation of more than 5 000 parmelioid specimens preserved in different herbaria of India representing all the phytogeographic regions of the country. A detailed study of this group shows greatest diversity of commonly growing lichens in India. Till date there has not been any comprehensive account on the parmelioid lichens in India is so far available. Keeping this in view the authors have tried to fulfil this lacunae by bringing out the book Parmelioid lichens in India. The present work includes systematic account of 192 species belonging to 22 genera with coloured photographs scanned pictures of TLC plates for secondary metabolites of each species current nomenclature key to the genera and species. For each species basionym synonyms information on type collection detail description chemistry remarks variation habitat and altitudinal distribution within and outside India along with maps are provided. Glossary of botanical names and terms used in the text are also provided. The important morphological characters to delimit genera and species along with scientific illustrations and scanning electron microscopic pictures are given in the general account. The conservation status of parmelioid lichens is also discussed. Extinct endangered vulnerable and endemic taxa are also listed. Eight localities are proposed as Lichen sanctuaries for the country owing to their luxuriant parmelioid flora. It is hoped that the present work covering various aspects of the parmelioid lichens will be of immense interest to students scientists teachers and other interested to peruse research particularly on the parmelioid lichens in India and world in general. 488 pp. …

The basic aim of this manual is to provide useful resource materials for training young students and faculties working in the area of plant systematics. The manual provides updated information on basic as well as applied aspects of plant systematics on various groups of plants like Algae, Lichens, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. Chapter 1 to 3 describe the various approaches and methods to study microbial and fungal diversity, which is basically a very useful precursor to the students and young researchers. Chapter 4 and 5 provide deals with the multi-dimensional approaches in Lichen systematics. The book progresses upwards through the plethora of information on the diversity and systematics of Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms (Chapter 6-10). Chapter 11 to 15 contain on the plant methodological details identification, approaches and methods of Flora, revision, monograph and development of herbarium. This information is very important for the students and young faculties who intend to pursue their researches in plant taxonomy. Chapter 14 and 15 particularly provide all the relevant information on the International Code of Plant nomenclature including cultivated plants. These chapters per se are very significant for the amateur as well as serious readers of plant taxonomy. Plant taxonomy and biosystematics is a dynamic subject, as it derives information from various other disciplines like palynology, seed morphology, pharmacognosy, molecular biology, etc. We have, therefore, broaden the scope of this book by including the chapters on palynology, seed morphology, molecular.…
