Volume 3 No. 3 July-September 2019

NISCAIR owes its existence to this appreciation of the integral role of science communication in empowering citizens with scientific information, inculcating scientific attitude and promoting research and development. When we talk about biodiversity of India, this huge reservoir of diversity one cannot study or visit in his or her active life time. Here comes the importance of Herbaria and museums to communicate information on life sciences. NISCAIR, situated in the heart of the country is maintaining a Herbarium and Museum since 1978 which houses preserved and poisoned samples of various species in the form of herbarium sheets and carpological samples of economic and traditional medicinal , animals and samples of rocks and minerals collected from throughout India. RHMD was planned to represent economic biodiversity dealt with in The Wealth of India- An Encyclopedia of Indian Raw Materials and to cater to the academic and scientific needs. The acronym RHMD (Raw Materials Herbarium & Museum, Delhi) is included in INDEX HERBARIORUM, a constituent establishment of the International Association of (IAPT), New York Botanic Garden, New York, USA. Presently RHMD houses authentic samples of about 8500 plant specimens; 190 zoological specimens; 207 mineral samples; and more than 3700 carpological samples (crude drugs like roots, seeds, bark, wood, flowers, etc.). To make the herbarium more comprehensive and viable, preservation of herbarium specimens and carpological samples is also carried out as and

when new species is received or collected.

Medicinal plants have been in use since time immemorial and now in this era of modern medicines plant products are extensively used in household remedies, nutraceuticals and cosmetics. But due to the lack of the true identity and good quality of herbs, substitutes and adulterants as well as synonymous plants are sometimes used. NISCAIR, a well equipped institute with herbal garden and library (National Science Library) with vast collection of literature in the form of its own publication, The Wealth of India and various Life Science Research journals and RHMD, etc is actively supporting various research programme on herbal drugs. For the development of herbal drug a multi–dimensional approach to research activities including survey of literature, collection and cultivation of medicinal plants, isolation of active principles, drug authentication, drug standardization, pharmacological studies, clinical research, etc. is essential. About 90% of plants are collected and procured from wild habitat therefore, before approaching a research lab from fields, identification or authentication and correct nomenclature is required because there are too many names (trade names, English and vernacular names) to refer to a botanical scientific name of single species/crude drug and a single name is referred to more than one plant species or crude drug is a common practice in trade and by non-botanist (taxonomist) which often leads to confusion and instigate fraudulent intention to earn more money. In some published literature it is not possible to match common names with scientific names. Adulteration and substitution in Ayurvedic, Unani and herbal medicines manufacturing is another matter of concern. Other than morphological identification various pharmacognostic, phytochemical and molecular tools and techniques are also useful as supportive tools for assessment of genuine plant material. Correct identification and good quality of raw drugs are important to achieve safe and effective therapeutic potency, efficacy and reproducible quality of herbal medicines. RHMD, a priceless treasure offers consultancy on the authentication of plants and crude drug samples since January 1994 against payment with the objective of helping students, research scientists, customs, foresters, cultivators and pharmaceutical industries especially for identification and check adulteration in herbal drugs in dry or fresh form. This involves identification of crude drug samples by studying their macroscopic features, organoleptic properties and comparison with genuine voucher specimens housed in RHMD along with related literature. A large number of visitors comprising foreign delegates, NGO(s), students and teachers of schools and colleges, researchers, scientists, entrepreneurs, traders, crude drug dealers and others visit this herbarium and museum to upgrade their knowledge. Botanical drugs comprising, root,

stem, leaves, flower, fruit, seed, root & rhizome, stem & leaves, fruit & seed, stem bark, root bark,

heartwood, whole plant, whole plant without root, exudates, gum/resin, tuber and bulb, fibers have been classified on the most scientific and modern lines. Our Strength  More than three decades of valuable collection, preserved and poisoned by internationally approved techniques to protect them from moisture, fungus and pests.  Maintaining both collection of crude drugs and herbarium sheets.  More than two decades long experience in providing consultancy services.  Empowering our clients with the prerequisite scientific /botanical knowledge.  Help researchers to locate habitat and distribution of species in wild.  Provide correct nomenclature and possible synonyms, common vernacular and English names. Objectives and contents of RHMD-e-Bulletin  Digitization of the details of samples including photograph, botanical names, vernacular/English names, family, plant part, authentication certificate number, name and address (with E-mail and contact number) of the users of our consultancy services for reference in future.  The data to be published in this bulletin shall reduce the requirement of storing space and damage of samples received for authentication.  The published digital image of the crude drugs authenticated by RHMD shall be available in open access for posterity.  Through this database NISCAIR will connect to students, industry, researchers and traditional medicine dealers, exporters for societal impact of authentic collections.  About 90% herbs are collected by untrained people from wild habitats. Due to variation in habit and habitat species exhibits variation in their morphology of aerial parts and roots and rhizomes also. The situation becomes more difficult in the dried samples appearance, smell and colour. Considering these factors an attempt is being made here to publish in each issue details of one freshly collected plant, its parts vis-à-vis their dried form from CSIR–NISCAIR campus (in first phase) for the purpose of awareness of differences in the morphology of fresh and dry materials and to reduce ambiguity about the identity and name of some species. It shall help in the collection from fields as well as dried sample of the particular species from market.  This illustrated initiative is a gesture to help potential researchers and traders in identification of raw drugs.

 The data created by authentication of crude drugs shall be uploaded on CSIR-NISCAIR website

3 which could be accessed by various user groups free of cost. Page

 It would be a user-friendly image library and virtual repository of raw herbal medicines.  This bulletin would act as referral source for collection and purchase of correct raw drugs.  Number of pages will vary as per the received samples per month and the data to be published on for PLANT OF THE MONTH from NISCAIR campus.
