Atleast three species, P. pseudoginseng, P. sikkimensis and P. bipinnaatifida, which are distributed in Eastern Himalaya, are the sources of Indian Ginseng. As the well known medicinal product Sanchi of China, used for treating various ailments including cancer, is prepared from P. pseudnginseng the cultivation of the species should be undertaken in East Himalayan region between 1,000 and 2,000 m of altitude. Indian Ginseng species are endongered and should be protected.

Abstract

The Identity of Xylia spp. Of the Indo-Burmese region has been in a state of confusion. It was believed that the source of the well known Burmese timber pyinkado was X. dolubriformis and that the Indian timber irul, which is slightly inferior, was obtained from X. xylocarpa. The remaining species X. kerrii was not clearly understood. A critical study of the herbarium specimens in DD revealed that besides certain other diagnostic characters, the Indian and Burmese material invariably had gland-crested and eglandulose anthers, respectively. This, along with a review or literature, led to the conclusion that while the Indian species (irul) was no doubt X. xylocarpa, the Burmese species was iafact X. kerrii and not X.dolabriformis. Further, it became obvious that X. dolabriformis was a superfluous name for X.-xylocarpa whose distribution did not extend to Burma and tbat the only speciea indigenous to Burma, which produced pyinkado, was X.kerrii. Under its supposed name X.dolabriformis, the Burmese X. kerrii has been introduced, in the past, in Dehra Dun. and the trees are doing exceedingly well, It may be worthwhile to raise it in plantations in the Sub.Himalayan tract because pyinkado is superior to irul.

Abstract

Nagarbaveli is a small enclave located between Gujarat and Maharashtra. The majority of the population are tribals. For the treatment of diseases these people consult their tribal herbalists who give them natural plant products as drugs. Some drugs are said to be efficacious. Therefore, this area has good scope for ethnobotanical studies. The plants with additional medicinal uses are as under. The data was collected from the tribals. Acacia ferruginea, Bridelia retusa, calycopteris floribunda, Carissa carandas, Cryptolepis huchanani, Cylista scariosa, Dalbergia volubilis, Derris scandens, Flemingia lineata, Helicteres inora, Heterophragma quadriloculare, Melia composita, Randia spinosa, Ventilago calyculuta, woodfordia fruticosa and Wrightia tinctoria.
