  • Medicinal Plants Used by the Tamang Community in the Makawanpur
    Luitel et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2014, 10:5 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/10/1/5 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Medicinal plants used by the Tamang community in the Makawanpur district of central Nepal Dol Raj Luitel1*, Maan B Rokaya2,3*, Binu Timsina3,4 and Zuzana Münzbergová2,4 Abstract Background: We can conserve cultural heritage and gain extensive knowledge of plant species with pharmacological potential to cure simple to life-threatening diseases by studying the use of plants in indigenous communities. Therefore, it is important to conduct ethnobotanical studies in indigenous communities and to validate the reported uses of plants by comparing ethnobotanical studies with phytochemical and pharmacological studies. Materials and methods: This study was conducted in a Tamang community dwelling in the Makawanpur district of central Nepal. We used semi-structured and structured questionnaires during interviews to collect information. We compared use reports with available phytochemical and pharmacological studies for validation. Results: A total of 161 plant species belonging to 86 families and 144 genera to cure 89 human ailments were documented. Although 68 plant species were cited as medicinal in previous studies, 55 different uses described by the Tamang people were not found in any of the compared studies. Traditional uses for 60 plant species were consistent with pharmacological and phytochemical studies. Conclusions: The Tamang people in Makawanpur are rich in ethnopharmacological understanding. The present study highlights important medicinal plant species by validating their traditional uses. Different plant species can improve local economies through proper harvesting, adequate management and development of modern techniques to maximize their use.

S. RAJAKUMAR 2 1Department of Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology, Sarah Tucker College, 2Department of Plant Biology and Plant Biotechnology, St. John’s College, Tirunelveli, 627002. Received: 16 March 2012, Revised and Accepted: 20 April 2012 ABSTRACT The present study deals with the microscopic analyses of all parts of Didymocarpus tomentosus Wight of Gesneriaceae, collected from the hills of W.Ghats of Thirunelveli, Tamilnadu. It is a common scapegerous herb growing in the crevices of the rocks. D.pedicellata , an Himalayan element, has been claimed by many investigators as a potential medicine for Kidney stone and urinary problems. D.tomentosus being a co-species was believed to possess properties similar to D.pedicellata. The investigation provides structural profile of leaf, midrib, petiole rhizome and root. The preliminary phytochemical evaluation was also carried out. The results are discussed critically with reference to the botanical identity of the taxon. Keywords : Gesneriaceae- Didymocarpus tomentosus - Pharmacognostic studies. INTRODUCTION Different parts of the plant were fixed in FAA in the field itself. The samples were dehydrated, infiltrated and subjected to serial Gesneriaceae is one of the taxa which seem to have received little microtome sections of 10µm thick following customary technique recognition with reference to its biochemical and biological (Sass, 1940). The sections were stained with Toludine blue’O (O’ evaluation. According to Evans (1996), members of Gesneriaceae Brien et al ; 1964).

    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B.

Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • A New Definition of the Genus Petrocodon (Gesneriaceae)
    Phytotaxa 23: 49–67 (2011) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2011 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) A new definition of the genus Petrocodon (Gesneriaceae) ANTON WEBER1,4, YI-GANG WEI2, CARMEN PUGLISI3, FANG WEN2, VERONIKA MAYER1 & MICHAEL MÖLLER3,4 1 Department of Structural and Functional Botany, Faculty of Biodiversity, University of Vienna, Austria 2 Guangxi Institute of Botany, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guilin 541006, China 3 Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, 20A Inverleith Row, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, Scotland, U.K. 4 Authors for correspondence; e-mails: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Based on molecular studies, the small Chinese genus Petrocodon (two species and one variety) has been recently enlarged to include the monotypic genera Calcareoboea, Paralagarosolen and Tengia. It is shown here that the (6–7) species of Lagarosolen, the monotypic Dolicholoma, a few species of Didymocarpus, and a number of new species that have recently been published (but not formally described) under Petrocodon and Lagarosolen should be included in this genus.
