Reveal Submitted: 08 Dec. 2013, Accepted: 15 Mar. 2014 H. D. Jayasinghe1,2, S. S. Rajapaksha1, C. de Alwis1 1Butterfly Conservation Society of Sri Lanka, 762/A, Yatihena, Malwana, Sri Lanka 2 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Larval food plants (LFPs) of Sri Lankan butterflies are poorly documented in the historical literature and there is a great need to identify LFPs in conservation perspectives. Therefore, the current study was designed and carried out during the past decade. A list of LFPs for 207 butterfly species (Super family Papilionoidea) of Sri Lanka is presented based on local studies and includes 785 plant-butterfly combinations and 480 plant species. Many of these combinations are reported for the first time in Sri Lanka. The impact of introducing new plants on the dynamics of abundance and distribution of butterflies, the possibility of butterflies being pests on crops, and observations of LFPs of rare butterfly species, are discussed. This information is crucial for the conservation management of the butterfly fauna in Sri Lanka. Key words: conservation, crops, larval food plants (LFPs), pests, plant-butterfly combination. Introduction Butterflies go through complete metamorphosis 1949). As all herbivorous insects show some and have two stages of food consumtion.

  • Bauhinia Acuminata
    299 NON-GENETIC POLYMORPHISM IN BAUHINIA A C U3 'IINA TA L BY K. R. DRONAMRAJU Indian ,5'lalislica[ Institute, 6'alcttlla-.'~5 (Received i0-11-59) INTRODUCTION In the year 1958 Professor J.B.S. I-Ialdane suggested that I should look for heterostylism in Indian plant species where it had not previously been observed. I found a condition resembling it on a bush ofBa:~hinia acuminal,a L. This however differs fi'om the hetero- styIism so far reported in three respects. First, long and short styled flowers are found on the same plant; secondly the lengths of the filaments of the two flower types are not negatively correlated with the style length; and thirdly, most, if not all of the short styled flowers, are female sterile, i began measuring the styles on this bush in tl~e middle of the flowering season, and the results encouraged me to measure them on four other bushes of the same species. A bush can produce up to 50 flowers in a day, so it was possible to compare the results on different bushes, and on the same bush at difl'erent times. ]~ATERIAL The members of the species Bauhblia acumiTmla L. are leguminous plants belonging to the subfamily Caesalpineae. They have woody upright stems growing to a height of 12 feet. The leaves consist of 2 leaEets joined to form a single leaf with two lobes at the apex. The flowers are white and solitary, and very conspicuous, making the bush attractive in a garden. The 5 petals are slightly unequal in size.

The entire plant possesses pharmaceutical constituents of great significance. The present article gives an update on bioactive compounds and medicinal importance of Albizia amara. This plant has been used as an important folk medicine for the treatment of several diseases like diarrhea, gonorrhea, skin diseases, poisonous bites and leprosy. Further, phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of wide variety of bioactive compounds such as macrocyclic spermine alkaloids, triterpene saponins, phenols, flavonyl glycosides, tannins, sterols in the plant extract of A. amara. In addition, the plant extract possess the pharmacological properties like anticancer, antihyperlipidimic, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic and antioxidant activities. Because of the presence of several phytoconstituents, pharmacological activities and wide distribution, this will be an ideal plant resource for the treatment of several endemic diseases. Keywords: Albizia amara, Medicinal Plant, Bioactive compounds,Pharmacological Properties 1. Introduction is present in the dry regions of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka (Chakrabarthy T et al., 1996). The genuses Albizia is represented by more than 100 species and are mainly confined to tropical and sub- tropical regions Morphology of Asia, Africa and Australia.

    Agroforestry in rice-production landscapes in Southeast Asia a practical manual Agroforestry in rice-production landscapes in Southeast Asia a practical manual Editors Prasit Wangpakapattanawong Robert Finlayson Ingrid Öborn James M. Roshetko Fergus Sinclair Kenichi Shono Simone Borelli Anique Hillbrand Michela Conigliaro This manual is intended to help rural advisory and agricultural extension workers guide farming communities in the establishment of agroforestry practices in rice-production landscapes in Southeast Asia. It sets out the steps to be taken to successfully integrate trees in rice-fields and associated farms and landscapes and presents practical tools that can be used by extensionists when supporting farmers who are implementing agroforestry practices on their farms. The ultimate aim of this guide is to support farmers in increasing the overall productivity of their farms while increasing resilience to climate change, improving the health of the surrounding environment, and enhancing the livelihoods of their communities.

  • FLAVONOIDS from Albizia Chinensis of EGYPT
    FLAVONOIDS FROM Albizia chinensis OF EGYPT NEVEEN S. GHALY1, F. R. MELEK1* , NAYERA A. M. ABDELWAHED2 (Received August 2010; Accepted December 2010) ABSTRACT The flavonoids kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-α-L-rham- nopyranoside together with luteolin, kaempferol and quercetin, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the leaves of Albizia chinensis collected from Egypt. Iden- tification of the flavonoid constituents was carried by analysing their spectroscopic data and/or by comparing these data with those reported in the literature. The first three isolates were tested for their antimicrobial activity and the results revealed that the tested compounds exhibited moderate inhibiting activity against gram- positive and gram-negative bacteria while no antifungal activity was observed. Key words: Albizia chinensis, Leguminosa, flavonoids, antimicrobial activity RESUMEN Se llevo a cabo el aislamiento de los flavonoides Kaemferol-3-O- α-L-ramnopirano- sida, quercetina-3-O-α-L-ramnopiranosida, luteolina, kaemferol y quercetina, del extracto metanolico de las hojas de Albizia chinensis colectada de Egipto. La iden- tificación de los compuestos se llevo a cabo mediante el análisis espectroscópico. Se valoro la actividad antimicrobiana de los tres primeros compuestos mostrando actividad moderada contra bacterias gram-positivas y gram-negativas.

Abstract: The frond of Albizia chinensis(osbeck)merr extract was obtained from the powder using 80% methanol. Preliminary phytochemical works were carried out for detection of secondary metabolite. Estimation of alkaloids, flavonoids, protein, saponins, was carried out using appropriate test. A thin layer chromatographic technique was used for compound separation and identification from the extract. The total ash, acid insoluble ash, sulphate ash, water soluble ash values of entire plants of control and commercial raw drugs have been revealed. The control of total ash values of entire plant Albizia chinensis is 25mg, 23.19mg, 63mg, 0.52mg, and 65.5mg. The fluorescence character of entire plant Albizia chinensis was undergone in day light and UV 254nm. The extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis and 10 compounds shown use activities. 10 therapeutically active compounds present in the extract. This compound identification could provide valuable information
