The edaphic conditions of the habitat of Coptis tetla Wall. have been discussed. The soils, where this species grows either under cultivation or in wild are moderately acidic to highly acidic, poor in surface porosity, very rich in silica content and possess insufficient amount of inorganic binding agents. However, the soils in cultivated fields are satisfactory in organic carbon status, water-holding ability and cation exchange capacity but inadequate presence of liming material and temperate climate adversely effect their energy materials. The 3oils at Malenja where this species is growing wild have textural limitation and anthropogenic interference. In the end the paper is concluded with suggestions. Results depict that the reasons for rarity and depletion of this species are not only anthropogenic but also environmental.- Unreported Medicinal Uses of some Plants Recorded from the Tribals of Koraput (Orissa)

More thmn 100 medicinal plants belonging to 63 genera and 42 families are found in the mangrove vegetation of Sunderbans, West Bengal, India. Seved of these plant-species, e.g. Avicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, B. parviflora, Ceriops decandra, Nypa fruticans, etc. are restricted to the marshy deltaic estuary only. After prolonged field work, and comparison with the available published literature it is seen that medicinal uses of 43 species, and one variety such as Aegialitis rotundifolia, Blumea wightiana, Ceriops decandra, Heliotropium curassavicum are practically unknown or less known.
The specimens of these species have been exhibited in crude drug museum of Pharmacognosy Section, Botanical Survey of India, Howrah.

The paper deals with unreported medicinal uses of eighteen plant species (belonging to sixteen families) exploited as aphrodisiac among the folk-lores of Uttar Pradesh plains, India. The data are outcome of ethnobotanical survey of more than 300 villages of nine districts viz., Bahraich, Gonda, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Mirzapur, Pratapgarh, Raebareli, Sidharthnagar and Sultanpur. Local name of plant, part of plant used, mode of drug preparation, administration and doses are given under each species.- Pharmacognostic Studies on Powdered Flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. and its Adulterants

Callus from ischolar_main portion of seedlings of Convolvulus pluricaulis has been cultured on a medium (BM) based on Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium. Sucrose, 1.5%; casein hydrolysate, 1250 mg/l ; IAA, 15 mg/l ; kinetin 1.5 mg/l and GA, 0.5 mg/l, individually were found optimum for the maximum growth of callus.
Maximum hypotensive activity was noticed in the extract of callus tissue cultured on BM supplemented with a higher concentration of casein hydrolysate.
