ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are commonly used by traditional medical practitioners to treat different illnesses in their everyday practices. In various diseases such as stomach ache and burning sensation, inflammation, arthritis, wounds, gonorrhoea, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, asthma, cough, degenerative joint disease, urinary calculus, diabetes, snake bite, Viparit Lajjalu (Biophytum sen- sitivum Linn) of the family Oxalidaceae is one of those used as traditional folk medicine. It is a small, flowering, annual herb with sensitive leaves in the opposite direction. It grows in the warmer parts of India and Nepal and in tropical Africa & Asia. Several ethano-botanical reviews illustrate the same plant’s aphrodisiac activity and sterility activity. An aphrodisiac is a drug or food that activates sexual instinct, induces desire, or enhances sexual enjoyment or efficiency. Key Words: Viparit Lajjalu, Sperm, Vajikaran INTRODUCTION There are so many therapeutic myths on different types of traditional medicine but lacking scientific study on them.6 Folklore herbal medicines are getting more attention now Most of the folklore medicines are given without doing any a day.

Amruthesh Department of studies in Botany, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysuru-570006 (Karnataka) India. Abstract Kukkarahalli lake is situated in the campus of the University of Mysore, Mysuru. It is one of the richest sites of plant diversity in Mysuru. The diversity of angiosperms has been found to be very rich both in population and species richness (290 species) that show seasonal variation. Among angiosperms, dominance shown by the families such as Poaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Malvaceae. The present study is highly significant since study finds 129 species of angiosperm which were not recorded in the “Flowering Plants of the Mysore University Campus” (1974) which recorded angiosperms. Lake has large number of herbs than other forms of plants that indicates a high rate of anthropogenic disturbances. Presence of large number of invasive species and weeds are leading to the loss of species diversity in the lake area. Key words : Wetlands, Angiosperm diversity, Herbs, Invasive species. Introduction regeneration, and other benefits that are essential to Wetlands are one of the most valuable resources of human kind and indeed are a cornerstone of the global the global ecosystem, which support a high level of ecosystem (Paterson et al., 2004).
