A Species of the Controversial Drug Gojihva: Comprehensive Review Makwana H T, Pandya D J* School of Pharmacy, RK University, Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Received: 5th Jan, 19; Revised 22nd Apr, 19; Accepted 15th Jul, 19; Available Online:25th Aug, 19 ABSTRACT According to the Ayurvedic literature Launaea pinnatifida Cass is belong to the class of controversial drug Gohjiva. This plant is well known and valuable herb as per the traditional and Ethnobotanical information. This plant has been used since ancient time as herbal remedy for jaundice, diuretic, blood purifier and hepatoprotective action by the tribal people of the Western Ghats. However, the plant remains largely unexplored. Systematic pharmacognostical and phytochemical evaluation of the plant by means of standardization leads to the generation of data which is useful for future reference. The traditional medicinal activities suggest that it may yield important bioactive phytoconstituents. Present work dealing with the compilation of available data of Launaea pinnatifida (L. Pinnatifida) including pharmacognostical work, phytochemical studies and pharmacological work. Microscopic evaluation confirmed the presence of the lignified cork cells parenchyma with prismatic crystals. The histochemical study of root powder confirms the existence of mucilage, tannins, starch, lignin and crystals. Pharmacognostical studies revels the presence of many primary and secondary metabolites including carbohydrates, alkaloids, amino acids, glycosides, steroids and tannin in root powder. As far as phytochemical study is concern; only few phytochemical constituents have been isolated from L. -

It is particularly diverse in South China, where 30 species are found, more than half of which are used as herbal medicines or in the chemical industry. However, little is known regarding the phylogenetic relationships and molecular evolution of this genus in China. We used nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) trnL-F sequences to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship and estimate the divergence time of Blumea in China. The results indicated that the genus Blumea is monophyletic and it could be divided into two clades that differ with respect to the habitat, morphology, chromosome type, and chemical composition of their members. The divergence time of Blumea was estimated based on the two root times of Asteraceae. The results indicated that the root age of Asteraceae of 76–66 Ma may maintain relatively accurate divergence time estimation for Blumea, and Blumea might had diverged around 49.00–18.43 Ma. -

It is also used as a tonic, febrifuge, and diaphoretic against cough, bronchitis, and asthma. Phytochemicals identified in this plant, includes flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates and proteins. Previous studies on the plant revealed various pharmacological activities, which are attributed to its phytochemical content.These activities include analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antiasthmatic, antimicrobial and wound healing properties. Compounds isolated from different solvent fractions of the plant includes elephantopin, triterpenes, stigmasterol epifriedelinol and lupeol.Other compounds are copaene isopropyl dimethyl hexahydronaphthalene, cyclosativene and Zingiberene from the essential oils of Elephantopus scaber In conclusion, Elephantopus sp has wide traditional and pharmacological uses in various disease conditions. -

Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae
SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY NUMBER 89 Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae Harold Robinson Smithsonian Institution Press Washington, D.C. 1999 ABSTRACT Robinson, Harold. Generic and Subtribal Classification of American Vernonieae. Smithso- niun Contributions to Botany, number 89, 116 pages, 1999.-The Vernonieae in America is herein defined to exclude the Liabeae and Pseudostifftiu (Moquinieae), and to include elements sometimes placed in the Heliantheae (Trichospiru) or Lactuceae (Stokesiu). Pollen, style bases, raphids, inflorescence form, involucre, anther appendage, and chemistry are some characters used in the reclassification. Tables 1-12 indicate the distribution of these characteristics in most American genera. Vernoniu s.s., with type A pollen, is typified by K noveborucensis (L.) and occurs in the Bahamas, eastern North America, south to central Mexico and has two spe- cies in temperate South America. All other species previously placed in Vernoniu need to be removed from the genus, a process that is nearly complete for neotropical species. Most Amer- ican Vernonieae seem to form a single related subgroup in the tribe. Subtribes included in the related subgroup are the Lychnophorinae (x = 15, 17, 18) and Centratherinae (x = 16) with type A pollen and hroheliangolides; Piptocarphinae (x= 17) with type A pollen, deciduous inner involucre, and sometimes opposite leaves; Vernoniinae (x = 17), many with glanduliferous anther appendages (including the Lepiduplou complex mostly with echinolophate pollen); and the newly proposed subtribes Sipolisiinae with type A pollen, armed receptacles, and carbon- ized achenes; Chrestinae with echinolophate pollen; and Leiboldiinae (x= 19) with type A pol- len, large heads, and a modified callus at the top of the achene. -

Sacred Groves are tracts of virgin forests, left untouched and protected by local people, because of culture and religious beliefs. These tracts are remnants of the once-dominant flora, reservoirs of the rich biodiversity, and the last refuge for preserving the rich indigenous culture and traditions. For these reasons, the biological and leaf spectra, as well as the conservation status of the current sacred grove vegetation, Maa Mongalmoyee Than (MMT) in Jhargram district of West Bengal, India, have been studied. Data were collected during different seasons. The floristic list is taxonomically arranged based on clade, order, and family. In addition, photographs of some common, locally uncommon, endemic and valuable plant species within the sacred grove were taken. The herbarium sheets were then described by matching properly annotated materials available at the Herbarium Section of Vidyasagar University as well as the Botanical Survey of India. The results of floristic studies showed 217 MMT's angiosperm species, belonging to 196 genera, distributed under 59 families of 27 orders. Furthermore, Poales (13.82%) and Fabaceae (12.44%) are the dominant order and family, respectively, in terms of species population. -
