  • Collected from Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary Parvati Menon VT
    Checklist and approximate quantity of Non-Wood Forest Produce (NWFP) collected from Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary Parvati Menon V.T.M. N.S.S. College, Department of Botany, Thiruvananthapuram, India. 2002 [email protected] Keywords: biodiversity, checklists, forests, non wood forest produce, non timber forest products, illegal trade, wildlife sanctuaries, India. Abstract The Peppara Wildlife sanctuary is a traditional resource base for substantial non-wood forest produce (NWFP). Checklist of NWFP from the sanctuary is prepared on the basis of data collected over a period of one given month; it is subject to the season, availability, market demands and to the known trade outlets. Major items such as fuel wood, fodder and some medicinal plants have been quantified. The checklist includes products used at subsistence, local use and commercial levels. Acknowledgements From the traditional perspective on non-wood forest produce as just a source of commercial exploitation to the present one of conservation of the wealth of biodiversity, the managers of our forests have come a long way in the sustainable utilization of natural resources. I would like to thank Mr. T. Pradeep Kumar, Wildlife Warden, Thiruvananthapuram and his colleagues in the Dept. of Forests, Keralafor giving me this opportunity to study the trade on NWFP in this area and make a humble contribution to the conservation and management efforts now in way throughout the state. The services of Sri. Suneesh Kumar, S.K and Sri. P T Sudarsanan, in collecting the data and assistance in the fieldwork is gratefully acknowledged. I am also indebted to Sri.Bhagavan Kani and several other tribal elders and youngsters for the insight they provided into the life of their community.

ABSTRACT Katakakhadiradi Kashayam is an Ayurvedic formulation for the treatment of diabetes, skin and urinary tract ailments. This is made up of 12 types of plants. The present study deals with the GC Ms analysis of this Kashayam to know the presence of different bio molecuels present in it. It was observed that it contained molecules like Ethyl acetate, 3-Trifluoroacetoxytridecane, 3- Trifluoroacetoxypentadecane, Dodecane, 1,2-dibromo-, 4-Trifluoroacetoxytridecane, Trichloroacetic acid pentadecyl ester, Trichloroacetic acid hexadecyl ester, E-14-Hexadecenal, E-11,13-Tetradecadien-1-ol 6- and Tridecene, (Z)- which have various medicinal activities. Further work is in progress to evaluate these molecules and correlate their activities to Katakakhadiradi kashayam.

  • Monograph on Pāțhā 2070
    Monograph on Pāțhā 2070 Introduction Ayurveda literally means knowledge of life. Ayurvedic medicines are based on the principle that every individual has a unique constitution that related to his vital energies translated into Ayurvedic nosology as dosha or humors. In ayurveda, medicinal plants have been used sufficiently for the cure and treatment of disease and maintenance of sound health. The origin of Ayurveda is called to be the origin of universe, some says it as shasvata. From the time of initiation of ayurveda the use of many medicinal plants has been encoded. Some of them have been extinct, but the profound Achāryas in ayurveda has also listed their substitution. Even animals use herbs to cure their ill health. One of the plants described in Ayurvedic grantha is, Pāțhā (Cissampelos pareira linn.) Latin Name: Cissampelos pareira linn. Sanskrit name: Pāțhā, Ambashtā, Baratiktā, Abiddakarni, Piluphalā. Hindi name:Pādh, Pādhi Bengal: Ākanādi Marāthi : Pādabel Gujrat:Benibel Tamil: Appātā Telgu: Pādā, Malayālam:Katuballi Morphological characters: A climber or prostate herb. Leaf : Alternate, circular, small, hairy, petiole 1-3’’ long Flower : Unisexual, yellowish white Fruit : Like pea after ripe reddish Seed : Small slightly curved Almost in all Ayurvedic text, either the properties or the preparation of Pāțhā with other drugs has been described, though only little description is given. In most of the text the plant has been described as Pāțhā, or in some place as Aambashtā. Pāțhā has a very long history of medicinal use in many herbal traditions. It is widely employed in modern herbal medicine as an Stanyasodhana drug. 53 Monograph on Pāțhā 2070 Pāțhā in samhita Charaka Samhita (1000 BC) dw'sdw'k0fL{k[lZgk0o{Dai7sL;dª\ufdf]r/;wftsLnf]w|lk|oª\u's6\kmnfgLlt bz]dflg ;GwfgLoflg ejlGt≤ (C.S.Su.

O. Box 413, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201 USA; and 5 Department of Geosciences, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802 USA • Premise of the study: Fossil leaves of Menispermaceae were previously described from the Paleocene of Colombia. Because of strong homoplasy of leaf characters, the fossils could not be placed more specifi cally within recognized clades, and additional data were needed to specify intrafamilial and paleogeographic relationships during the Paleocene. • Methods: Fossil endocarps of Menispermaceae were collected from the Cerrej ó n Formation, the recently discovered Bogot á fl ora, and Wyoming (~60 Ma). We surveyed the endocarp morphology of almost all extant genera, conducted character optimization, a molecular scaffold analysis, and critically reviewed the related fossil genera. • Key results: Parallel syndromes of fruit characters have appeared in unrelated clades of the family according to current phylo- genetic reconstructions.
