  • Traditional Therapeutic Uses of Some Indigenous Orchids of Bangladesh
    ® Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Science and Biotechnology ©2009 Global Science Books Traditional Therapeutic Uses of Some Indigenous Orchids of Bangladesh Mohammad Musharof Hossain* Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong-4331, Bangladesh Correspondence : * [email protected] ABSTRACT The traditional therapeutic uses of some indigenous orchids of Bangladesh are described in this paper. Terrestrial (11) and epiphytic (18) orchids, 29 in total, are used by Bangladeshi rural and tribal people for the treatment of nearly 45 different diseases and ailments. Roots, tubers, pseudobulbs, stems, leaves and even whole plants are used. Some herbal preparations have miraculous curative properties. Unfortunately, these preparations have not typically been subjected to the precise scientific clarification and standardization which are consequently required for clinical implementations. Some of the orchids are endangered due to over-exploitation and habitat destruction. Conservation strategies for orchids and further pharmacological studies on traditional medicines are suggested. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: astavarga, conservation, ethnomedicine, herbal remedies, rasna INTRODUCTION the underground tuber of Orchis latifolia is used in the drug ‘munjatak’ pacifying cough (Khasim and Rao 1999).

Many of these landscapes cannot be isolated from the énclave as they are integral to and part of its cultural mosaic and character. Perhaps the most important are the Penang Hill hill-station landscape and the ‗Waterfall‘ Botanic Gardens. The latter is an under-valued ‗garden of the empire‘—a garden that significantly underpinned the development and historical and botanical stature of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. This paper reviews the cultural significance of colonial botanic gardens as they were established around the world during the scientific explosion of the late 1800s.

The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by analysis of their spectroscopic W.; Punpreuk, Y.; Likhitwitayawuid, data. All of the isolates were evaluated for their a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Aerimultin C K. Three Novel Biphenanthrene (3) showed the most potent activity. The other compounds, except for compound 4, also exhibited Derivatives and a New stronger activity than the positive control acarbose.
