1 THE GENUS DENDROBIUM IN DIBRU-SAIKHOWA NATIONAL PARK AND BIOSPHERE RESERVE Khyanjeet Gogoi Bordoloi Nagar, Talap, Tinsukia , Assam, India Abstract Thirty five of epiphytic orchids including the floriculturally significant Dendrobium moschatum, D. fimbriatum, D. nobile, D. transparens, D. lituiflorum, D. aphyllum, D. aduncum were recorded from Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere Reserve in an intensive survey during The dendrobes are described, highlighting their important features for easy identification. Introduction DENDROBIUM REPRESENTS a large group of morphologically diverse and epiphytic orchids, known for beautiful and long-lasting flowers of various colours, hues and shades. It is the second largest genus of the family Orchidaceae, comprises more than 1,000 species, and is widely distributed in Sri Lanka, India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand. In India, it is represented by 102 species, 20 of which grow in Assam (Barua 2001). The genus is popular with both the amateur and professional growers having contributed immensely to commercial floriculture. The Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere Reserve is a natural home to a variety of epiphytic orchids. While a detailed inventory has remained elusive, progressive decline in the forest cover, due to anthropogenic pressures, has detrimentally affected the size and distribution frequency of orchid populations.

2 Several species are threatened of survival. The writer repeatedly surveyed the Park with a view to assessing the current status of orchid diversity. As many as 35 species including 7 that belong to the genus Dendrobium have so far been collected. This paper describes the salient taxonomic features of the dendrobiums. Study Area Materials and Methods The Dibru-Saikhowa Park and Biosphere reserve, the richest in Upper Assam and one of the nineteen biodiversity hot spot of the world, is located along the northern bank of river Brahmaputra. Originally spread over an area of 640 Km², it was declared that Wild Life Sanctuary in 1986, and subsequently as a National Park 1999 with a core area of 340 Km² and a large surrounding buffer zone under Tinsukia and Dibrugarh district. It extends between 27 o o 50 N and 95 o o 15 E in the flood plains of Brahmaputra and Lohit river at an attitude of 118 m (Sarmah, 1998; Mahanta, 2002). The climate here is subtropical moist with an average annual rainfall between 3800 and 2300 mm, temperature between 36 o C and 6 o C and relative humidity between 86 and 64 (Sarmah, 1998). The forest include semi-wet evergreen, tropical moist deciduous, littoral and swamp types with patches of bamboo and cane brakes etc. Area wise the National Park comprises 35.8% of moist mixed forests, 9.5% of degraded forests, 21.3% of savanna grassland, about 1.8% cultivated land, 4.1% of Barren land, 10.3% of free water, and 17.1% sandy cover (Mahanta, 2002). Live collections of orchids, at different stages of development, were made at monthly intervals during , and maintained at the Department of Botany, Sibsagar College for ready availability of plant material during taxonomic evaluation. Identifications were done using standard orchid manuals and other regional publications (Banerji, 1978; Barua, 2001; Bruhl, 1926; Gamble, 1928; Hegde,1984; Hooker, 1890; Novak, 1965; Pradhan, 1979). Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Herbarium, Department of Botany, Sibsagar College, Joysagar (Assam). Species Description Dendrobium moschatum (Buch-Hum) Sw. in Hegde, Orch.

The forests of Assam support a large number of beautiful and important Orchids. Though some information is available on these plants, but studies related to their conservation and commercialization are meager. Incidentally, unregulated forest felling has led to depletion of orchid habitats. The orchids are also faced with heavy collection pressures for economic purposes. Consequently, their natural populations are declining rapidly. Orchid flora of Dibru-Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere Reserve (35 species) is a valuable natural resource. It needs to be properly investigated, evaluated, and listed for sustainable commercial use. Presently, 7 species of floriculturally significant Dendrobes (Dendrobium moschatum, D. fimbriatum, D. nobile, D. transparens, D. lituiflorum, D. aphyllum, D. aduncum) were collected from Dibru- Saikhowa National Park and Biosphere Reserve. Some of these (D. fimbriatum, D. nobile, D. aphyllum var. katakinum,, D. aduncum) are not common and need to be conserved for sustainable use in Assam. Incidentally, the present studies though they represent an embodiment of a work of limited magnitude, are of considerable academic, explorative and informative value. While a featured study of the present nature is expected to reveal the richness or otherwise of a taxon besides adding to the available information, a continued and in-depth study is bound to yield extremely useful data on the rich flora of the entire forested area. However, as most of the areas in the National Park are
10 yet to be properly explored for their orchid wealth, further studies are suggested. Acknowledgement I extend my sincere gratitude to Prof. Dr. Prokash Kotoky, Head, Department of Botany, Sibasagar College, Joysagar, Assam for constant supervision and valuable suggestions during the course of present studies. I am also thankful to the authorities of Saikhowa Wildlife Range for facilities. References Banerji, M.L., Orchids of Nepal. Bishen Singh Mahendra Pal Singh, Dehra Dun, India. Barua, I.
