Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) in Kerala have rediscovered an endangered tree species 184 years after its first collection in the Western Ghats.
A tree from the species has been identified in front of Koonayil Ayiravilli Siva temple at Paravur in Kollam district, Kerala.
Madhuca diplostemon is a species of flowering plant from Sapotaceae family.
It has been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
It is believed that the species was a highly local endemic with a few individuals in the past, which were inadvertently removed for temple expansion in recent years.
Since the species is represented by a single mature individual in a single locality, it is assessed here as critically endangered, as per the IUCN criteria.
This tree is about 4-metre high; its bark fissured and leaves spirally arranged and crowded towards the branch.
Study planner is an invaluable tool for students, enabling them to assess
their strengths and weaknesses through tests. It calculates the optimal daily study time
required to cover the syllabus. This personalized approach enhances productivity and fosters
effective time management, ultimately boosting academic performance.
PERSONALISED TEST
A personalized test allows students to select their preferred topic and
subtopic from the curriculum. It generates a tailored examination by randomly selecting
questions related to their choices. This approach promotes engagement, reinforces specific
learning objectives, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material through active
participation in the assessment process.
PREDECTIVE ANALYTICS
The analytics system tracks the time spent and records correct answers for
all questions attempted. It compiles this data into analyses, offering students valuable
insights into their preparation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and helping them
optimize their study strategies for improved performance.
