    Online - 2455-3891 Vol 12, Issue 7, 2019 Print - 0974-2441 Review Article HELICHRYSUM CYMOSUM (L.) D.DON (ASTERACEAE): MEDICINAL USES, CHEMISTRY, AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES ALFRED MAROYI* Department of Botany, Medicinal Plants and Economic Development Research Centre, University of Fort Hare, Private Bag X1314, Alice 5700, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Received: 26 April 2019, Revised and Accepted: 24 May 2019 ABSTRACT Helichrysum cymosum is a valuable and well-known medicinal plant in tropical Africa. The current study critically reviewed the medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum. Information on medicinal uses, phytochemistry and biological activities of H. cymosum, was collected from multiple internet sources which included Scopus, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Science Direct, Web of Science, PubMed, SciFinder, and BMC. Additional information was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as journal articles, scientific reports, theses, books, and book chapters obtained from the University library. This study showed that H. cymosum is traditionally used as a purgative, ritual incense, and magical purposes and as herbal medicine for colds, cough, fever, headache, and wounds. Ethnopharmacological research revealed that H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species have antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, anti-HIV, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, and cytotoxicity activities. This research showed that H. cymosum is an integral part of indigenous pharmacopeia in tropical Africa, but there is lack of correlation between medicinal uses and existing pharmacological properties of the species. Therefore, future research should focus on evaluating the chemical and pharmacological properties of H. cymosum extracts and compounds isolated from the species. Keywords: Asteraceae, Ethnopharmacology, Helichrysum cymosum, Herbal medicine, Indigenous pharmacopeia, Tropical Africa.

This is an ideal area to look closely at the diversity of characteristics in our regional plants. Variations in things such as form, texture, colour and smell of leaves, flowers and fruits often give a clue as to how plants grow and survive in different and often challenging environments. Come and join the discussion of what grows where and why and maybe discover what may do well at home for you. Following the walk there will be an opportunity to visit the propagation and nursery area for a behind the scenes look. Gardens manager, Michael Anlezark will outline the current workings of the area and the exciting future directions proposed for the Gardens. Lunch can either be the usual BYO picnic style or purchased at the Gardens café. The afternoon will be free to either stroll to the arboretum or browse the range of plants available for purchase from the plant sales area. As usual sensible footwear, hat, sunscreen, insect repellent and water are advisable.

  • Plant Life of Western Australia
    INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm.

  • Plants of Southeastern Polynesia. 3
    Plants of Southeastern Polynesia. 3. F. R. FoSBERG1 and M.-H. SACHET1 Abstract In this paper are presented critical notes and records of species of Ophioglossum (Ophi­ oglossaceae), Waltheria (Sterculiaceae), Alyxia (Apocynaceae) and Morinda (Rubiaceae), a new varietal combination and two new varieties in Alyxia stellata, and a discussion of the generic separation of Ochrosia and Neiosperma (Apocynaceae). Ophioglossum pendulum var. falcatum (Presl) Fosberg, 0cc. Pap. Bishop Mus. 23 :29, 1962. 0. pendulum L. f. var. pendulum is common at low and moderate elevations in Tahiti. A collection from 1100 m elevation, south of Orohena, MacDaniels 1533 (US) is perfectly typical var. falcatum, apparently the first record of this variety from the Society Islands and from southern Polynesia. It is by far the commoner form in the Hawaiian Islands. The typical form, var. pendulum, with long pendant sterile parts of the fronds is common in Tahiti but very rare in Hawaii. Waltheria tomentosa (J. R. & G. Forst.) St. John, Nat. Can. 98:573, 1971.2 Lophanthus tomentosus J. R. & G. Forst., Char. Gen. 14, 1775; 28, pl. 14, 1776. Waltheria lophanthus Forst. f., Prodr. 47, 1786. It is surprising that no one had made this transfer. Of course, the application of the " Kew Rule" would have made it inappropriate prior to the formulation of the modern International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature at the Vienna Congress in 1905. However, there seems to be no reason for not now taking up the oldest available epithet for this plant. This species is still to be found on the dry sides of most of the Marquesas and on the smaller, low dry islands of the group.
