    264 Journal of Pharmacy and Nutrition Sciences, 2020, 10, 264-273 Review of Pharmacological Properties, Phytochemistry and Medicinal uses of Volkameria glabra Alfred Maroyi* Department of Botany, University of Fort Hare, Private Bag X1314, Alice 5700, South Africa Abstract: Volkameria glabra (E. Mey.) Mabb. & Y.W. Yuan is a deciduous shrub or a small tree widely used as traditional medicine throughout its distributional range in tropical Africa. This study is aimed at providing a critical review of pharmacological properties, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of V. glabra. Documented information on pharmacological properties, phytochemistry and medicinal uses of V. glabra was collected from several online sources such as Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed and Science Direct, and pre-electronic sources such as book chapters, books, journal articles and scientific publications obtained from the university library. This study revealed that the bark, leaf and root infusion and/or decoction of V. glabra are mainly used as immune booster, protective charm, anthelmintic and ethnoveterinary medicine, and traditional medicine for convulsions, fractured bones, fever, wounds, gastro-intestinal problems, snake bite and respiratory diseases. Phytochemical compounds identified from the species include aliphatic glycosides, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, iridoid, phenols, saponins, steroids, tannins and triterpenoids. The V. glabra and compounds isolated from the species exhibited acaricidal, anthelmintic, antibacterial, antifungal, antimycobacterial,

ABSTRACT Ingole SN. 2011. Diversity and useful products in some Verbenaceous member of Melghat and Amravati regions, Maharashtra, India. Biodiversitas 12: 146-163. Verbenaceae is a large family of very diverse habit. The present study deals with detailed characteristics, distribution and economically important products of some verbenaceous members of Melghat and Amravati regions. During the survey twenty members belonging to fourteen genera of Verbenaceae were collected. Some members occur abundantly either in wild or cultivated state like Lantana camara L. var. aculeata Mold., Lantana flava Medik., L. nivea Vent., Glandularia bipinnatifida (Schauer) Nutt., Duranta erecta L., Vitex negundo L., Volkameria inermis L., Clerodendrum phlomidis L. f., Clerodendrum splendens G. Don, Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L. etc. while Petrea volubilis L., Gmelina arborea Roxb., G. philippensis Cham., Stachytarpheta jamaicensis (L.) Vahl., S. mutabilis (Jacq.) Vahl., Rotheca serrata (L.) Steane & Mabb., Holmskioldia sanguinea Retz. are not much common and occur in limited locations. Phyla nodiflora (L.) Greene, a creeping much-branched herb is found typically in wet places. Tectona grandis L. f. occurs very variable in size according to its habitat and is common dominant tree in forest of Melghat and also planted in plains.

Although recent studies have resulted in C. subg. Cyclonema and C. sect. Konocalyx being removed to the resurrected genus Rotheca, and the unispecific genus Huxleya being sunk into Clerodendrum, it has been unclear whether Clerodendrum as currently circumscribed is monophyletic, particularly in relation to the American genera Aegiphila, Amasonia, and Tetraclea. This phylogenetic study employs four relatively fast-evolving chloroplast DNA re- gions, trnT-L, trnL-F, trnD-T, and trnS-fM, to clarify the generic boundaries of Clerodendrum and its relationship to allied genera. The results corroborate previous studies that there are three well-supported clades in the currently recognized Clerodendrum: an Asian clade, an African clade, and a Pantropical Coastal clade.

  • Leaf Architecture of Some Species of Clerodendrum Linnaeus Found in Assam, India
    Pleione 10(2): 288 - 296. 2016. ISSN: 0973-9467 © East Himalayan Society for Spermatophyte Taxonomy Leaf architecture of some species of Clerodendrum Linnaeus found in Assam, India Nibedita Das1 and S. K. Borthakur Department of Botany, Gauhati University, Guwahati – 781014, Assam, India 1Corresponding author: [email protected] [Received 28.10.2016; Revised 14.12.2016; Accepted 17.12.2016; Published 31.12.2016] Abstract Leaf architectural attributes of six species of Clerodendrum Linnaeus (sensu lato) [C. bracteatum Wallich ex Walpers; C. indicum (Linnaeus) Kuntze; C. inerme (Linnaeus) J.Gaertner (i.e. Volkameria inermis Linnaeus); C. laevifolium Blumea; C. serratum Moon (i.e. Rotheca serrata (Linnaeus) Steane & Mabberley); and C. trichotomum Thunberg], occurring naturally in Assam, were studied to ascertain their taxonomic relationships using leaf architectural characters. Different parameters like leaf attachment, petiole length, blade class, laminar shape, margin, apex and base, 20 and 30 vein categories, spacing and angle were studied. A dichotomous key of these species was constructed and detailed description based on the architectural characters for each species are provided. From the produced data no sufficient difference could be identifies to isolate Rotheca serrata and Volkameria inermis from Clerodendrum Linnaeus. Key words: Clerodendrum, Leaf architecture, Blade class, Vein category, Assam INTRODUCTION The genus Clerodendrum Linnaeus was placed under Verbenaceae in most of the angiosperm classifications (Bentham & Hooker 1862–1883; Cronquist 1981). But, in recent classifications, based mostly on molecular data, has re-classified the genus as a member of Lamiaceae (Chase & Reveal 2009; Haston et al. 2009). The genus was established in 1753 by Linnaeus based on the type species Clerodendrum infortunatum Linnaeus from India (Shrivastava & Patel 2007).

Large School of Environmental & Animal Sciences, Unitec, Auckland 1025, New Zealand [email protected] ABSTRACT. David Mabberley’s distinguished and productive academic and administrative positions, roles, honours, books and other publications are given. Keywords. Awards, Cambridge, eponymy, Kew, Leiden, Oxford, Plant-book, Seattle, Sydney, Wadham College The flow of books David Mabberley’s first book was a volume of papers dedicated to E.J.H. Corner on his 70th birthday, which he edited jointly with the late Chang Kiaw Lan (1927–2003), also one of Corner’s students at Cambridge. There followed, in 1981, a volume of reprinted essays by Arthur Harry Church, who had inspired Corner from early on, and, two years later, the first edition of the tertiary level text-bookTropical rain forest ecology. Two more years elapsed before the highly acclaimed Jupiter botanicus, a biography of Robert Brown, marking the first of David’s substantial contributions to the history of botanical science. In 1987, came the first edition of a book for which he is now, of course, famous world-wide: The Plant-book — the 706 page dictionary of vascular plants. Data and cross references for this dictionary were originally kept on cards and the manuscript was typed, as Anne Sing recalls in this volume. It is noteworthy that at this point, David had not yet turned forty. The Plant-book (eventually to become Mabberley’s plant-book in 2008, and now in its fourth edition) has a reappearing role in David’s output, where interludes between editions have seen the appearance of volumes such as: An exquisite eye: The Australian flora and fauna drawings 1801–1820 of Ferdinand Bauer (with Jo Anne Pomfrett, and Peter Watts); The Flora Graeca story.

With the advancement of biotechnology, biochemical markers and DNA molecular markers have become the primary tools used in the differentiation of individuals, because these markers are not influenced by the environment, as it occurs with morphological traits. Consequently, these new techniques provide faster and more precise results. The isoenzymes and the DNA molecular markers RFLP, RAPD, AFLP, and SSR stand out among the biochemical and molecular markers. Each molecular marker presents advantages and limitations, which increases the applicability to different species and laboratory conditions, presenting more reliable results when used in association.

  • A Taxonomic Revision of the Genus Clerodendrum L
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 11(2): 101-173 (1989) A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS CLERODENDRUM L. (VERBENACEAE)* IN AUSTRALIA Ahmad Abid Munir State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 Abstract A taxonomic revision of Clerodendrum in Australia is presented. The following ten species are recognised: C. costatum, C. floribundum, C. grayi, C. heterophyllum, C. inerme, C. longiflorum, C. parvulum, C. laid, C. tomentosum and C. tracyanum. Described as new are C. grayi and C. longiflorum var. glabrum (from Queensland). C. longiflorum and C. heterophyllum var. baueri f. angustifolium are recorded from Australia for the first time. C. costatum is reinstated as the oldest valid name for the species currently named C. cunninghamii. C. populneum is placed in the synonymy of C. floribundum var. ovatum. A new combination of C. tatei (based on Strobilanthus tatei F. Muell.) is made and C. holtzei is placed in its synonymy. C. lanceolatum is relegated to the rank of a variety under C. tomentosum. The following nine taxa are typified: C. costatum, C. cunninghamii, C. floribundum var. floribundum, C. floribundum var. coriaceum, C. floribundum var. ovatum, C. tatei, C. tomentosum var. lanceolatum, C. tomentosum var. mollissima and C. tracyanum. In the case of the non-endemic species a range of material including specimens from Malesia was examined. Affinities and distribution are considered for the genus and each species. A key to the species and infraspecific taxa is provided and a detailed description of each species is supplemented by a habit sketch of a flowering branch and analytical drawings of the flowers.
