“…Henrard. They followed Henrard (1940) and Sevenstert & Veldkamp (1983) to treat H. aspera as a synonym of H. virescens; however, in this work by following Kellogg et al (2020), it is considered as Trisetopsis aspera and reported here as an addition to the grass flora of Karnataka. A brief description along with photographs is provided to facilitate easy recognition of this grass.…”

For the documentation of grasses in the central Western Ghats of Karnataka, we have conducted the extensive field surveys by using random sampling method from 2017 to 2020. During this survey we have collected some grass specimens from the shola grassland, which forms the new distributional record of Trisetopsis aspera (Munro ex Thwaites) Roser & A. Wolk to the flora of central Western Ghats, Karnataka, India from the montane high- lands of Baba Budangiri hills of Chikkamagaluru District.

“…All specimen vouchers were deposited in the Center for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Sciences, Bangalore. Plant species were identified using Gamble (1935), Saldanha & Nicolson (1976), Saldanha (1984Saldanha ( , 1996, Sharma et al (1977), and Kellogg et al (2020). Grass cover in each quadrat was visually estimated by giving a percent cover.…”

“…Grasses are one of the important sources of biodiversity and the primary food source for many herbivores that support ecosystem function, agricultural sustainability, and livelihood for many pastoral communities (Sala & Paruelo 1997;White et al 2000). In India, 1,506 species of grass belonging to 266 genera were reported (Kellogg et al 2020). Peninsular India has maximum diversity and endemism (Karthikeyan 1989).…”

Grass composition was assessed by plot method (1 m2; n= 1,749) in three habitats (dry deciduous-DDF, moist deciduous-MDF, and thorn forest-TF) at Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, southern India across different seasons from Jan 2004 to Dec 2007. The grass species richness and availability (per cent composition) varied significantly with habitats. Seventy-four species of grasses and sedges were recorded in all three habitats, with a few species common in all habitats. Grass availability varied significantly in different habitats across seasons and was positively influenced by precipitation. Among biotic factors, regeneration and shrub density had a primary influence on grass availability, followed by herb, sedge and weed density. The principal coordinate analysis revealed seven major associations in the tropical forest. There were considerable changes in the composition and association of grasses when compared to the past. Fire resistant species such as Themeda triandra, Heteropogan contortus and T. cymbaria dominated in the DDF. Grass species Aristida/Eragorstis were recorded in the TF, which were considered as indicators of heavy grazing pressure. Grass species that were reported rare and sporadic in the earlier study were not recorded, which emphasizes better pasture management in the tropical forest. Grass species composition and availability was threatened by invasion of weeds.

Cymbopogon martinii is a grass from genus Cymbopogon (lemongrasses) native to India, but widely cultivated in other places for its aromatic essential oil. C. martinii known as Palmarosa smells sweet with rose-like odor. Geraniol, a terpene alcohol present in Cymbopogon martinii essential oil (CMEO) is much valued for its typical aroma and medicinal uses. In addition to the pleasant odor, Geraniol is known for fungicidal, nematicidal, acaricidal, insecticidal, repellent properties hence, used as Natural Pest Control Agent (NPCA) exhibiting low toxicity. Furthermore, geraniol has been suggested to exemplify a new class of chemoprevention agents in the treatment of cancer. Biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and vascular effects have been investigated. In the present study, GCMS based in-silico ADMET pharmacoinformatics aspects (Physicochemical, Lipophilicity, Medicinal Chemistry, Druglikeness, Absorption, Water Solubility, Distribution, Metabolism, Pharmacokinetics, Excretion, Environmental Toxicity, Tox21 Pathway and Toxicophore Rules) with PASS prediction of geraniol from CMEO has been bioprospected from human health perspective point of view.
