Medicinal Practices of Sacred Natural Sites: a Socio-Religious Approach for Successful Implementation of Primary
Medicinal practices of sacred natural sites: a socio-religious approach for successful implementation of primary healthcare services Rajasri Ray and Avik Ray Review Correspondence Abstract Rajasri Ray*, Avik Ray Centre for studies in Ethnobiology, Biodiversity and Background: Sacred groves are model systems that Sustainability (CEiBa), Malda - 732103, West have the potential to contribute to rural healthcare Bengal, India owing to their medicinal floral diversity and strong social acceptance. *Corresponding Author: Rajasri Ray; [email protected] Methods: We examined this idea employing ethnomedicinal plants and their application Ethnobotany Research & Applications documented from sacred groves across India. A total 20:34 (2020) of 65 published documents were shortlisted for the Key words: AYUSH; Ethnomedicine; Medicinal plant; preparation of database and statistical analysis. Sacred grove; Spatial fidelity; Tropical diseases Standard ethnobotanical indices and mapping were used to capture the current trend. Background Results: A total of 1247 species from 152 families Human-nature interaction has been long entwined in has been documented for use against eighteen the history of humanity. Apart from deriving natural categories of diseases common in tropical and sub- resources, humans have a deep rooted tradition of tropical landscapes. Though the reported species venerating nature which is extensively observed are clustered around a few widely distributed across continents (Verschuuren 2010). The tradition families, 71% of them are uniquely represented from has attracted attention of researchers and policy- any single biogeographic region. The use of multiple makers for its impact on local ecological and socio- species in treating an ailment, high use value of the economic dynamics. Ethnomedicine that emanated popular plants, and cross-community similarity in from this tradition, deals health issues with nature- disease treatment reflects rich community wisdom to derived resources. -

And Vietnam is a homeland of 54 ethnic minorities with a broad range of experience in using plants for dyeing, especially for food. As a result 43 species belonging to 24 families giving a dye for food were identified. Ethnic people have abundant knowledge in using plants for dyeing food such as processing, preparation, mixing plants to require colors. In the framework of this study, we report on the traditional colorant species in Northern Vietnam and the value of indigenous knowledge in processing and blending plants to achieve required colors. Keywords: Colorant plants, Coloring food, Northern Vietnam, Lung Quang hamlet (Thong Nong commune, Cao Bang Province). Indigenous knowledge Giay people: Lau hamlet (Sapa commune, Lao Cai Province) as Introduction shown in Figures 1 and 2. For a long time, Vietnamese people have used colorant plants and, Thai people: black Thai in Bo, Nhop, Bia and Bang hamlets (Thuan even now, they remain a part of daily life. However, at this time, there Chau commune, Son La Province); Phang-3 hamlets (Muong Phang is no document or evidence precisely recording and describing the commune, Dien Bien Province); white Thai in the Na Muoi hamlet appearance of these plants. -

THE NERIEAE (APOCYNACEAE-APOCYNOIDEAE) A. J. M. LEEUWENBERG1 ABSTRACT The genera of tribe Nerieae of Apocynaceae are surveyed here and the relationships of the tribe within the family are evaluated. Recent monographic work in the tribe enabled the author to update taxonomie approaches since Pichon (1950) made the last survey. Original observations on the pollen morphology ofth egener a by S.Nilsson ,Swedis h Natural History Museum, Stockholm, are appended to this paper. RÉSUMÉ L'auteur étudie lesgenre s de la tribu desNeriea e desApocynacée s et évalue lesrelation s del a tribu au sein de la famille. Un travail monographique récent sur la tribu a permit à l'auteur de mettre à jour lesapproche s taxonomiques depuis la dernière étude de Pichon (1950). Lesobservation s inédites par S. Nilsson du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle Suédois à Stockholm sur la morphologie des pollens des genres sontjointe s à cet article. The Apocynaceae have long been divided into it to generic rank and in his arrangement includ two subfamilies, Plumerioideae and Apocynoi- ed Aganosma in the Echitinae. Further, because deae (Echitoideae). Pichon (1947) added a third, of its conspicuous resemblance to Beaumontia, the Cerberioideae, a segregate of Plumerioi it may well be that Amalocalyx (Echiteae— deae—a situation which I have provisionally ac Amalocalycinae, according to Pichon) ought to cepted. These subfamilies were in turn divided be moved to the Nerieae. into tribes and subtribes. Comparative studies Pichon's system is artificial, because he used have shown that the subdivision of the Plume the shape and the indumentum of the area where rioideae is much more natural than that of the the connectives cohere with the head of the pistil Apocynoideae. -

Molecular Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal a Close Evolutionary Relationship Between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and Its Rosaceous Hosts
Persoonia 24, 2010: 38–48 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158510X494596 Molecular phylogenetic analyses reveal a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera (Erysiphales: Erysiphaceae) and its rosaceous hosts S. Takamatsu1, S. Niinomi1, M. Harada1, M. Havrylenko 2 Key words Abstract Podosphaera is a genus of the powdery mildew fungi belonging to the tribe Cystotheceae of the Erysipha ceae. Among the host plants of Podosphaera, 86 % of hosts of the section Podosphaera and 57 % hosts of the 28S rDNA subsection Sphaerotheca belong to the Rosaceae. In order to reconstruct the phylogeny of Podosphaera and to evolution determine evolutionary relationships between Podosphaera and its host plants, we used 152 ITS sequences and ITS 69 28S rDNA sequences of Podosphaera for phylogenetic analyses. As a result, Podosphaera was divided into two molecular clock large clades: clade 1, consisting of the section Podosphaera on Prunus (P. tridactyla s.l.) and subsection Magnicel phylogeny lulatae; and clade 2, composed of the remaining member of section Podosphaera and subsection Sphaerotheca. powdery mildew fungi Because section Podosphaera takes a basal position in both clades, section Podosphaera may be ancestral in Rosaceae the genus Podosphaera, and the subsections Sphaerotheca and Magnicellulatae may have evolved from section Podosphaera independently. Podosphaera isolates from the respective subfamilies of Rosaceae each formed different groups in the trees, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship between Podosphaera spp. and their rosaceous hosts. However, tree topology comparison and molecular clock calibration did not support the possibility of co-speciation between Podosphaera and Rosaceae. Molecular phylogeny did not support species delimitation of P. aphanis, P. -

Morphometric study of retinacula from the members of Acanthoideae has been done to understand the significance of its shape variation in phylogentic context. The monophyly of the sub -tribes Andrographina e and Barleriinae of Acanthoideae are supported by their unique kinds of retinacular shape. The overlapping distribution of the species of Ruellinae and Justiciinae in 2D scattered plot based on retinacular shape is also supported th e link between these two sub-tribes which was established by molecular phylogenetic studies. Therefore retinacular shape variations within Acanthoideae are important for its phylogenetic interpretation. Keywords: Reticaula, Shape variation, Acanthoideae.
