Bio Diversity Impact Assesment Report BIO DIVERSITY IMPACT ASSESMENT REPORT FLORAL DIVERSITY Core Zone (Mine Lease Area) This zone is mainly dominated by plantation of various species. Presently core zone encompasses well grown trees with 25 species which included common tees as well as fruiting trees. Details of the floral species reported from the core zone are as follows:- Flora Reported from Core Zone of the Study Area S.

Hence, their knowledge on epiphytes and parasites was found to be very limited, especially among the young generation of the tribes. The present study reported the use of 28 species (16 epiphytes and 12 parasites), which represent about 13.4% of the total epiphytes and parasites present in Kerala, and they are of valuable properties and uses and are used for curing or corrective measures for several diseases. Majority of the properties and uses recorded are first reports pertaining to these special groups of plants. A thorough investigation on the phytochemistry and therapeutic values of the bioactive compounds contained in these epiphytes and parasites would result in the discovery of new and valuable drugs of high potentials and of interest to the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical industries.

WILSON1,2 1Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA 2Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Phoradendron, the largest mistletoe genus in the New World, extends from temperate North America to temperate South America. Most species are parasitic on terrestrial hosts, but a few occur only, or primarily, on other species of Phoradendron. We examined relationships among two obligate epiparasites, P. durangense and P. falcatum, and their parasitic hosts. Fruit and seed of both epiparasites were small compared to those of their parasitic hosts. Seed of epiparasites was established on parasitic-host stems, leaves, and inflorescences. Shoots developed from the plumular region or from buds on the holdfast or subjacent tissue. The developing endophytic system initially consisted of multiple separate strands that widened, merged, and often entirely displaced its parasitic host from the cambial cylinder.

This is especially the case in developing countries vessels of their hosts to obtain water and minerals but where the cost of consulting a western style doctor and the produce, to at least a certain extent, their own supply of price of medication are beyond the means of most people assimilate (4, 5).

  • Prevalence of Mistletoes in Fruit and Timber Trees in the Wet and Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka
    Tropical Agricultural Research Vol. 29 (4): 330 – 340 (2018) Short Communication Prevalence of Mistletoes in Fruit and Timber Trees in the Wet and Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka S.S. Yapa, A.J. Mohotti1*, M.A.P.K. Seneviratne, B.L. Peiris1 and K.U. Tennakoon2 Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture University of Peradeniya Sri Lanka ABSTRACT: A survey was conducted to identify the parasitic plant species occurring in timber and fruit trees during November 2015 to April 2017, in 15 Districts of Wet and Intermediate Zones of Sri Lanka using two stage stratified random sampling scheme. The parasitic plants on fruit and timber trees were identified by comparing them with the specimen in National Herbarium, Peradeniya. Host plant species were taxonomically identified after consultation of botanical experts and using species identification keys. Correlation between parameters were made using SAS software. Mistletoes infested in varying degrees in 27 perennial fruit and 20 timber tree species in different cropping systems. Dendrophthoe falcata, D. neilgherrensis, Scurrulla cordifolia, Viscum articulatum, Taxillus incanus, and V. orientale were the mistletoes species infested in fruit trees; whereas, D. falcata, D. neilgherrensis, S. cordifolia, S. parasitica, V. articulatum and V. orientale were found in timber species. D. falcata was the most predominent parasitic plant in both fruit and timber trees. Mangifera indica and Albizia odoratissima were the most susceptible host fruit and timber species, respectively. The study indicated that further studies are required on the increased occurrence of parasitic plants, their effects on host plants and development of control measures. Keywords: Parasitic plants, mistletoes, host plants, timber, fruit trees INTRODUCTION Parasitic plants are angiosperms that meet their water and food requirements by exploiting their host plants with exquisite adaptations.

  • Ethnomedicinal Plants Used in Maharashtra for Treatment of Various Diseases and Disorders Vishal G Beldar*, Parin S Sidat Email: [email protected] Abstract
    Research ArticleBeldar V G, et al: Ethno-medicinal Plants used in Maharashtra Ethnomedicinal Plants used in Maharashtra for Treatment of Various Diseases and Disorders Vishal G Beldar*, Parin S Sidat Email: [email protected] Abstract Abstract Since human civilization, people have been dependent on nature for their daily needs, and chiefly on plants as a source of medicine. This reliance lead to the development of an exclusive system of knowledge known as ethnobotany, which consists of the relationship between plants and their use for various diseases and disorders by the trial and error method. The current review study is an attempt to gather the ethnomedicinal plants used in Maharashtra to treat multiple diseases and disorders. From various revealing literature sources, information has been compiled, mentioning the plant’s family, parts used, method of preparation, etc. In Maharashtra, around 417 plant species belonging to 101 families have been used for primary healthcare. Plants from families like Acanthaceae, Asteraceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Poaceae were most frequently utilized in Maharashtra. The people of Maharashtra use these medicinal plants as a single dose or in combination with others. This review article includes 195 medicinal plants form various plant families.
