Ashram Jr. College, Nawapada, Navkhanda Palace, Jubilee Park, Taluka.- Sakri, Dist.- Dhule (M.S.) India. Aurangabad, (M.S.) India. ABSTRACT Gloriosa superba is a famous Ethnomedicinal plant of Nandurbar district. Beautiful, multicolour flowers attracts the tribal of study area in the month of July - October to collect the V and L shaped underground tubers. Due to presence of Colchicines in large quantity the collection of tubers turns into commercial practice. This affects the status of the plant. Ethnomedicinal approach towards species Gloriosa superba is a small attempt to realize the ethnic glory of plant in present study area. Large number of diseases prevailing in Nandurbar district was treated with this ethno medicine. Its medicinal potential is known to tribal’s from long time and now the commercial over collection of tubers means starting of competition between pharmaceutical production of raw material based companies of other countries in our remote and tribal areas also. Gloriosa superba is widely distributed in India. But it becomes Endanger in present study area of Nandurbar district.

Available Online: 25th March, 2017 ABSTRACT The study was conducted to evolve Gloriosa superba for yield characters and alkalodi content for selecting elite genotypes for comercial exploitatio n. The genotypes were sowm in Variyankaval village, Udayarpalayam taluk of Ariyalur district, Tamil Nadu. The highest mean value for fresh and dry seed yield was observed in Chittor local. The genotype Mulanur local has recorded the highest mean value for number of pods per plant and number of seeds per pod and Arupukotai local excelled the general mean for the traits seeds per pod, fresh and dry seed yield and also for tuber characters. An investigation was carried out to quantify the colchicine (alkaloid) present in tubers by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. The genotypes collected from Arupukotai recorded the highest colchicine content (0.760 mg/g) followed by Chittoor (0.578 mg/g) and Mulanur (0.496 mg/g) and there by these three genotypes were utilized for further crop improvement.

  • Gloriosa Climbing Lilies FREQUENTLY ASKED
    Frequently Asked questions ONE END OF TUBER LOOKS CUT? These sprout from only the pointed end. Be careful not to break any sprouts on this end of the tuber when planting. It is best to place the trellis or climbing apparatus in the soil prior to placing the tubers in the soil. DO THESE MULTIPLY UNDER SOIL? Oh do they! These tubers multiply underneath soil and will re-bloom every year. After 2 to 3 years, in the spring or fall, you can divide the tubers into small divisions with 3 to 4 fingers per tuber and replant separately if desired. WHAT POT SIZE IS SUFFICIENT? They need a 10 to 20 inch diameter pot to grow to full maturity. You can start big and move up or start big. CAN THEY GROW INSIDE YEAR ROUND? These may be grown inside year round but bear in mind two things. First they need something to climb onto. A hoop-like trellis may be the best if you are limited on height. They will climb upwards on a bamboo stake or two as well. They will still go dormant and normal winterizing still occurs. HOW DO YOU WINTERIZE THEM? In the fall after the 1st frost, cut all of the foliage away. Bring pots back inside the house. Stop watering until spring. In the spring, place them back outside in partial sun. If you live where it rarely drops below freezing, you can leave your plants outside year round if planted directly into the ground. LEAVES OFTEN DROOP IN SUMMER? These like a lot of water in the summer.
