COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. STUDIES ON RUSSULALES OF SIKKIM HIMALAYA: PART I – WEST DISTRICT (2008-2011): A total of 42 spp. of mushrooms under two families (Russulaceae and Hericiaceae) were documented. While dealing this work eight new species, 11 new records for India were described.

2. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF NORTH SIKKIM (2011-2014): A total of 110 spp. of wild mushrooms belonging to 25 families and 50 genera were documented. While dealing this work 19 novel species were described.

3. STUDIES ON WILD MUSHROOMS OF EAST AND SOUTH SIKKIM (EXCEPT AGARICACEAE, HYGROPHORACEAE, BOLETACEAE, SUILLACEAE AND CANTHARELLACEAE) (2014-2018): While working on this project 28 new species under 10 genera were discovered.

COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of Great Indian Bustard Wildlife Sanctuary, Maharashtra” during 2010-2013. A total of 434 plant species were documented from this semi-arid grassland habitat. 

2. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of BRT Wildlife Sanctuary (Tiger Reserve), Karnataka” during 2013-2018. A total of 1350 plant species were documented. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (Cucurbitaceae) and Habenaria sahyadrica K.M.P.Kumar, Nirmesh, V.B.Sreek. & Kumar (Orchidaceae) collected from this sanctuary formed new distributional records for Karnataka. Vanilla walkerae Wight, an orchid species was rediscovered after a lapse of 110 years. Xenikophyton Garay, an endemic orchid genus of peninsular India, after critical study was merged under the genus Schoenorchis Reinw. ex Blume.

ON GOING OTHER PROJECTS:    ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT MARINE MACRO ALGAE OF THE INDIAN COAST

COMPLETED PROJECTS                : 4

1. Seaweed Flora of West Bengal coast (2019-2022; S.K. Yadav):

A total of 28 taxa of marine macro algae (seaweeds), comprising 20 taxa of Chlorophyceae (green algae) and 8 taxa of Rhodophyceae were documented. Besides, within this project, 3 new additions to Seaweed Flora of West Bengal coast and 12 economically important seaweeds were recorded. A total of 23 places along 220 long coastline of West Bengal were periodically surveyed and about 100 herbarium sheets were prepared. The detailed outcome is published in the forms of research papers in various journals.

2. Seaweed Flora of Goa coast (2017-2019; M. Palanisamy & S.K. Yadav):

A total of 90 taxa of marine macro algae (seaweeds), comprising 28 taxa of Chlorophyceae (green algae), 26 taxa of Phaeophyceae (brown algae) and 36 taxa of Rhodophyceae were documented. Besides, within this project, 19 new additions to Seaweed Flora of Goa coast and 45 economically important seaweeds were recorded. A total of 58 places along 110 long coastline of Goa were periodically surveyed and about 1130 herbarium sheets were prepared. The detailed outcome has been published by BSI in the form of a book titled” Seaweed Flora of Goa coast” (2022).

3. Seaweed Flora of Karnataka coast (2014-2017; M. Palanisamy & S.K. Yadav):

A total of 108 taxa of marine macro algae (seaweeds), comprising 36 taxa of Chlorophyceae (green algae), 30 taxa of Phaeophyceae (brown algae) and 42 taxa of Rhodophyceae were documented. Besides, within this project, 20 new additions to Seaweed Flora of Karnataka coast, 3 endemic seaweeds and 43 economically important seaweeds were recorded. A total of 74 places along 320 long coastline of Karnataka were periodically surveyed and about 1595 herbarium sheets were prepared. The detailed outcome has been published by BSI in the form of a book titled” Seaweed Flora of Karnataka coast” (2022).

4. Seaweed Flora of Kerala coast (2011-2014; M. Palanisamy & S.K. Yadav)

A total of 108 taxa of marine macro algae (seaweeds), comprising 36 taxa of Chlorophyceae (green algae), 30 taxa of Phaeophyceae (brown algae) and 42 taxa of Rhodophyceae were documented. Besides, within this project, 20 new additions to Seaweed Flora of Kerala coast, 4 endemic seaweeds and 42 economically important seaweeds were recorded. A total of 149 places along 580 long coastline of Kerala were periodically surveyed and about 1272 herbarium sheets were prepared. The detailed outcome has been published by BSI in the form of a book titled” Seaweeds of Kerala coast, India” (2020).
