Grafting Experiment

Vegetative propagation through softwood grafting was carried out during 1994-1997 on Flacourtia montana, an endemic wild edible fruit tree of the Western Ghats, as part of its popularization and promoting cultivation programme. The grafting experiment was very successful and resulted in 78 percent success. The paper discusses the grafting success and its field performance.

The Western Ghats

Efforts were made to conserve 570 accessions of wild edible fruit plants collected and conserved at JNTBGRI (Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute) as part of the project entitled “Germplasm collection, evaluation of yield potential and exploitation of the fruit crops of the Western Ghats of Kerala”. The lesser- known wild plant accessions belongs to 106 species under 41 families. All the accessions are conserved ex-situ in JNTBGRI, Kerala, India. Among those 106 species, 67 species yield raw fruits, 11 species yield vegetable fruits, 22 species yield edible seeds / grains / kernels and the remaining 6 species yield spices and condiments. Twelve species are endemic to the Western Ghats region, of which, Salacia beddomei (Hippocrateaceae) comes in the red listed category and found mention in the Red Data Book of Indian Plants (Nayar & Sastry, 1988).

Conservation And Management

Ex situ conservation by vegetative propagation was successfully established in the endemic rare balsam species Impatiens anaimudica, I. elegans, I. disotis and I. phoenicea of the Western Ghats.  The experiment was done in an open environmental nursery at Munnar exposed to constant temperature (7–24 0C) and relative humidity (70–100 %) throughout the study period.  These favourable conditions provided a suitable platform for the establishment.  We observed a significant difference in the regeneration patterns of the four species.  I. elegans started to regenerate after the 10th day of planting with high success, while I. disotis showed a 30% success rate.  After maturation all species were transplanted to natural ecosystems.

Abstract: The Resplendent Shrub Frog, Raorchestes resplendens Biju, Shouche, Dubois, Dutta, & Bossuyt, 2010 is a Critically Endangered species endemic to the Western Ghats and was considered to be restricted to a three-square kilometer patch atop Anamudi summit.  In this study, we report 36 new locations of the species from the Anamalai massif of the southern Western Ghats.  Niche-based prediction modelling suggests that the species is restricted to Anamalai massif.  The call description of this frog is also provided for the first time. The preferred microhabitat of the frog is Chrysopogon grass clumps in the marshy/swampy montane grassland ecosystem. Restricted to a small area with controlled burning management practiced in its habitat, R. resplendens needs immediate attention.
