Papers by Prof.(Dr.) Sobhan Kr. Mukherjee
The present paper deals with the plane of arrangement of cotyledons with respect to the cypselar axis
and number of resin ducts in each cotyledon. Each cotyledon usually has 3 resin ducts. The number is
also variable, in some species; and the number may be more than three. The plane of arrangement of
cotyledon with the cypselar axis is also variable. Cotyledons are arranged either at right angle to the axis
of cypsela or parallel to the axis of cypsela or oblique to the axis of cypsela.
Keywords: Nature of Cotyledons, Number of Resin Ducts, Cypsela, Compositae
Keywords: Compositae, endemic, Monosis wightiana, synonym, Vernonia vivekanathanii, Vernonieae.

longitude. The district lies in the state of West Bengal, in eastern India. It borders Bangladesh to the
east, North 24 Parganas and Hooghly districts to the south, Bardhaman district to the west, and
Murshidabad district to the north. The district is covered under Presidency Division and occupies
11th position in the State in respect of its size with an area of 3927 sq. km. This present work is an
attempt to enumerate the grasses of Nadia district which is a long wanting demand to prepare a
complete list of the grass flora of the State of West Bengal.
In present work it is observed that the district of Nadia comprises of 78 species and 1 – variety of
grasses under 42 genera in 9 tribes distributed under 4 – subfamilies.
In the present conspectus the members of the tribe Bambusae and the 4 – most widely cultivated
taxa of grasses viz. Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Saccharum officinarum, and Zea mays is not
included in the list. It is also evident that, the district of Nadia lacks endemic species of grasses.
Last but not least it must be included that, this list is not a complete list in every respect. Because
of lack of data in addition to that, disagreement over interpretation of taxa. It is observed that 79
taxa of grasses of Nadia district are can be used in 81 different ways which may be grouped under 8 –
broad categories (Mitra 2005, 2009).

Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thonn. and Phyllanthus fraternus Webster, are very much similar with each other morphologically. These two species are also has been used as herbal medicine known as ‘Bhumyamlaki’ since ancient times for jaundice and other liver related disorders. However, Phyllanthus amarus is medicinally much more important than the later one due to higher content of active constituents like Phyllanthine and Hypophyllanthine in this species. Therefore, it is of great importance if we can separate out these two species even from fragmented conditions as found in herbal drugs often, using anatomical characters. In the present study, the anatomical studies including venation pattern, seed anatomy, epidermal anatomy, stomatal complex were undertaken for the two species of Phyllanthus.

The fruit of Compositae is usually termed as cypsela. The term ‘cypsela’ was introduced by Mirbel (1815). It is one-seeded, dry and indehiscent fruit from bicarpellary inferior ovary and the testa is adnate to the endocarp (Bremer 1994). In Compositae classification, cypselar features are very important. Schultz Bipontinus (1844), had initially reported the importance of cypselar features in the family Compositae. Taxonomists have been used external morphology and internal structures of cypselas for delimitation of different taxa of this family. Cypsela possesses various types of morphological features such as structure of surface hairs, presence or absence of ribs on the surface, presence of pappus and their structure and distribution, structure of stylopodia, carpopodia etc. and different types of anatomical features such as cellular orientation in epicarp, cellular variations of different types of tissues in mesocarp, presence or absence of phytomelanin layer and its nature, vallecular cavity, secretory duct, calcium oxalate crystals in the mesocarp, structure of testa and its cellular orientation, endosperm layers, cotyledons and their plane of arrangements, number of resin ducts in each cotyledon and so on. The present study deals with the detailed review of the cypselar features, on the basis of above mentioned morpho- anatomical features.

it’s approximately 1600 - 1700 genera and more than 24,000
species is the largest family of flowering plants (Funk et al.
2009). In India this family is represented by 1314 taxa under
204 genera (Mitra and Mukherjee, 2017), from the state West
Bengal this group is represented by 232 species under 99 genera.
Out of these 232 taxa 32 taxa (13.8%) have the economic
potentiality. These taxa are used in 108 different ways of which
79 used as ethnomedicinally, 1 as fodder, 5 as food plants, 05 as
oil yielding plants, 2 used as dye, 1 for fish stupification and 1
as veterinary medicine.

including trees, shrubs, herbs and a few climbers. The present observation
shows diverse characteristic features from simple to complex or rather
primitive to advanced feature in case of nodal and petiotar anatomy. The
anatomical observations of nodes and petioles and the venation patterns
do not show any significant aspect towards the support of the
classification of the family Rubtaceae The classification of Rubiaceae may
be further improved by inclusion of additional characters as the foliar
anatomical features
