Research Article Comparative Phytochemical Analysis of Leaf and Stem in Seismonastic Plants SP INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND CHEMICAL SCIENCES ISSN: 22775005 Research Article Comparative Phytochemical Analysis of Leaf and Stem in Seismonastic Plants SP. Rothe and AU. Bathe Department of Botany, Shri Shivaji College of Arts, Commerce & Science, Akola, Maharashtra, India. ABSTRACT The present investigation was carried out, to evaluate the chemicals present in seismonastic plants. Specially Biophytum sensitivum of oxalidaceae family. Mimosa pudica, Neptunia triquetra of Mimosae family. All these three plants are traditionally used in medicine for different kinds of ailments. After critical study it was found that these plants show variation in presence of some kinds of chemicals while most of them show similarities like alkaloids, cardiac glycoside, terpenoids, saponins, steroids. Keywords: Phytochemical, seismonastic plants. INTRODUCTION HPLC with different detectors, such as Diode Phytochemical studies of the plant preparation Array Detector (DAD), Refractive Index are necessary for standardization which helps Detector (RID), Evaporative Light Scattering in the understanding of the significance of the Detector (ELSD), and Mass Spectrometric phytoconstituents in terms of their observed Detector (MSD) has been widely developed. activities.

ABSTRACT Medicinal plants are commonly used by traditional medical practitioners to treat different illnesses in their everyday practices. In various diseases such as stomach ache and burning sensation, inflammation, arthritis, wounds, gonorrhoea, amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, asthma, cough, degenerative joint disease, urinary calculus, diabetes, snake bite, Viparit Lajjalu (Biophytum sen- sitivum Linn) of the family Oxalidaceae is one of those used as traditional folk medicine. It is a small, flowering, annual herb with sensitive leaves in the opposite direction. It grows in the warmer parts of India and Nepal and in tropical Africa & Asia. Several ethano-botanical reviews illustrate the same plant’s aphrodisiac activity and sterility activity. An aphrodisiac is a drug or food that activates sexual instinct, induces desire, or enhances sexual enjoyment or efficiency. Key Words: Viparit Lajjalu, Sperm, Vajikaran INTRODUCTION There are so many therapeutic myths on different types of traditional medicine but lacking scientific study on them.6 Folklore herbal medicines are getting more attention now Most of the folklore medicines are given without doing any a day.

Amruthesh Department of studies in Botany, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysuru-570006 (Karnataka) India. Abstract Kukkarahalli lake is situated in the campus of the University of Mysore, Mysuru. It is one of the richest sites of plant diversity in Mysuru. The diversity of angiosperms has been found to be very rich both in population and species richness (290 species) that show seasonal variation. Among angiosperms, dominance shown by the families such as Poaceae, Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Amaranthaceae, Malvaceae. The present study is highly significant since study finds 129 species of angiosperm which were not recorded in the “Flowering Plants of the Mysore University Campus” (1974) which recorded angiosperms. Lake has large number of herbs than other forms of plants that indicates a high rate of anthropogenic disturbances. Presence of large number of invasive species and weeds are leading to the loss of species diversity in the lake area. Key words : Wetlands, Angiosperm diversity, Herbs, Invasive species. Introduction regeneration, and other benefits that are essential to Wetlands are one of the most valuable resources of human kind and indeed are a cornerstone of the global the global ecosystem, which support a high level of ecosystem (Paterson et al., 2004).

Abstract: The study carried out to document the diversity of plants of the Urdhook hills, Kuttiady, Kozhikode district, Kerala. The present study reported 75 plant species belonging to 33families. A total of around 26 people was interviewed in more than one times in the age of 30-70 years and the data are collected from them. The medicinal plants are mainly used for diarrhoea, fever, cold, cough, snake bites, wound healing, diabetes, female disorders and asthma. Some plants such as Hamelia patens, Psidium guajava, Plectranthus amboinicus, Alternanthera sessilis, Lawsonia inermis, Clitoria ternatea, Adhatoda vasica, and Cyathillium cinereum are used to treat menstrual problems. Some plants are used local people to treat snake bites. The plants are used to treat snake bites such as Anacardium occidentale, Asystasia gangetica, Blepharis maderaspatensis, Cassia tora, Clitoria ternata, Leucas aspera, Urena lobata and Centrosema pubescens. Medicinal plants are documented along with their binomial name, local name, family and medicinal uses. Medicinal plants include herbs (41), shrubs (15), trees (9), climbers (8) and subshrubs (2). In the study leaves are mainly used for the preparation of medicines. Among the 75 plant species some plants are listed to the categories of Rare Endangered Threatened (RET).

Field expedition and specimen collection was done and deposited at the herbarium of the Faculty of Agricultural Technology. 400 plant species from 271 genera 98 families were identified. Three species were pteridophytes, one species was gymnosperm, and 396 species were angiosperms.
