In the present study, distribution and abundance of Munronia pinnata (Wall.) Theob. in Sri Lanka were explored in 6 provinces, 7 districts, 68 Divisional Secretariat Divisions (DSD) and 395 Grama Niladari (GN) areas. Fifty three GN areas were identified as M. pinnata abundant areas. In 217 GN areas, the plant is found in small scale and in 65 GN areas it was rarely found. M. pinnata was not found in 8 DSDs. Ten new localities were found and three of them were in the wet zone. The highest diversity was found in Monaragala and Matale districts. Populations well adopted for a range of climatic conditions were observed in Madulla, Nilgala, Warakapola, Ritigala and Haldumulla. Monaragala, Wellawaya, Mathurata, Meemure and Kithulpe were identified as unique populations for conservation. Monaragala, Badulla and Matale appear to be the most suitable districts for commercial cultivation of M. pinnata. This is the first record of an extensive systematic survey on the distribution of M. pinnata in Sri Lanka.Key words: Munronia pinnata; Systematic survey; Meliaceae; Conservation; Cultivation; Medicinal plants.DOI: 10.3329/bjpt.v18i1.7837Bangladesh J.

Abstract A description is provided for Vizella gomphispora. Information is included on the disease caused by the organism, its transmission, geographical distribution, and hosts. HOSTS: Vizella gomphispora was described from material on Symplocos spicata (Symplocaceae), from Sri Lanka. Other collections have been identified on Alstonia boonei (Apocynaceae), Chrysophyllum albidum (Sapotaceae), Coffea arabica, C. liberica and C. stenophylla (Rubiaceae), Conopharyngia longiflora (Apocynaceae), Craterispermum caudatum and C. laurinum (Rubiaceae), Cremaspora africana (Rubiaceae), Dendrophthora monstrosa (Viscaceae), Eugenia calophylloides (Myrtaceae), Ficus sp. (Moraceae), Funtumia elastica (Apocynaceae), Hoya sp. (Asclepiadaceae), Ilex denticulata (Aquifoliaceae), Ixora radiata (Rubiaceae), Macrolobium crassifolium (Leguminosae), Memecylon golaense (Melastomataceae), Nauclea sp. (Rubiaceae), Nectandra sp. (Lauraceae), Octoknema borealis (Olacaceae), Olax mannii (Olacaceae), Oxyanthus speciosus (Rubiaceae), Pavetta indica (Rubiaceae), Psychotria sp. (Rubiaceae), Soyauxia floribunda (Flacourtiaceae), Smeathmannia laevigata (Passifloraceae), Strychnos afzelii (Loganiaceae) and Tetrorchidium didymostemon (Euphorbiaceae). DISEASE: Occurring biotrophically on often symptomless living leaves. Its nutritional status is uncertain; perhaps the fungus obtains nutrients from cuticular waxes. Hughes (1953) suggested that the fungus may cause leaf spots, but it is more likely that it is either a secondary colonizer or survives necrotrophic damage by other agents. GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION: pantropical; known from Brazil, Ghana, India, Jamaica, Kenya, New Guinea, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Uganda. Collections identified as V. gomphispora from Australia (Queensland) and Zambia are present in IMI but probably belong to different species. TRANSMISSION: no studies have been made, but ascospores and their fragmented segments are almost certainly wind- or watersplash-dispersed, depending on local climatic conditions at the time of ascus maturity.

Abstract Remains of teiids assignable to the Tupinambinae (Tupinambis sp. or Crocodilurus sp.) are here described from the middle Miocene Collón Curá Formation at Cañadón del Tordillo, in Neuquén province, Argentina. No tupinambine species presently inhabits the region of the fossil locality. The fossils represent the westernmost distribution of fossil tupinambine teiids in Patagonia, enlarging the known geographical distribution of the teiids through the Miocene in a longitudinal range. Also, they constitute the first record of lizards from the Colloncuran SALMA, partially filling the record of tupinambine teiids for the South American Miocene.
