  • Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key
    Architectural Models of Tropical Trees: Illustrated Key Version June 7, 2021 1 Tropical landscape is full of trees. They rarely flower or bear fruits, and often have very similar leaves. However, shapes and structures of trunks and crowns (so similar in temperate regions) are seriously different in tropics. If you want to know tropics better, you should learn these architectural models. The following key is mainly based on Halle, Oldeman and Thom- linson's (1978) \Tropical Trees and Forests" (pp. 84{97)1. 1. Stem strictly unbranched (Monoaxial trees) . 2. − Stems branched, sometimes apparently unbranched in Cham- berlain's model (polyaxial trees) . 3. 2. Inflorescence terminal . Holttum's model.

The method used was observation, survey and desk methods. The result of researh show that the flora and fauna in the Halu Oleo Botanical Garden found about 86 species of flora and 54 species of bird. In addition, it also found other fauna such as pigs, mice, wild chicken etc. There were some pressure influenced the existancy of flora and fauna in the garden, those are: illegal logging, hunting or trapped animals and forest fire. To anticipate impact of future pressure on flora and fauna, therefore, the prototyping to manage the garden had been developed as follows: (a) developing a public awareness activities or education to increase understanding of local community and students about function and existance of UHO botanical garden; (b) improving management system of botanical garden especially facilitation process on protection of the resources involving stakeholders (community, students, lecturers, etc) in proctection mangement; (c) to promote planting movement to enrich the Sulawesi endemic vegetation in the garden involving stakeholders; (d) to develop center of endemic vegetation of Sulawesi and (e) establishment of information and promotion center of UHO Botanical Garden to promote diversity of flora and fauna values as intangible value to support local economic development in the future.

There has been enumerated a total of 119 species Red Listed medicinal plants, from which 27 species have assessed global RL status. Fourteen species have been assigned Critically Endangered (CR) status, 27 species are Endangered (EN), 31 species are Vulnerable (VU) and 10 species are Near Threatened (NT). 18 of these Red Listed medicinal plant species have been recorded in high volume trade in the national level trade study.

ABSTRACT Pharmacological and toxicological evaluations of medicinal plants are essential for drug development. Cycas circinalis and Ionidium suffruticosum are the two herbs which had been used since ancient times for treating various ailments traditionally in Indian system of Medicine (Siddha Medicine), but the medicinal effects of both the herbs were yet to be proved scientifically. The present study was done to evaluate the sub-acute toxicity of both the medicinal herbs as a preliminary part in proving its medicinal effect on maintaining the fertility of male. OECD guidelines 407 were followed for the sub-acute toxicity study. A total of 42 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into seven groups of 6 animals in each group for 3 dosages up to 28 days and each group was administered 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, 1000 mg/kg body weight of C.circinalis and I.suffruticosu methanolic extracts. The hematological and biochemical parameters were analyzed and compared between the control and experimental group, there was only slight variations were noted and was found to be within the standard laboratory values and statistical analysis of the parameters showed insignificance.

  • ADULTERATION of DRUGS of NATURAL ORIGIN And
    ADULTERATION OF DRUGS OF NATURAL ORIGIN INTRODUCTION- Medicinal plants constitute an effective source of traditional and homeopathy medicine. Herbal medicine has been shown to have genuine utility. In India, about 80% of the rural population depends on medicinal herbs and/or indigenous systems of medicine. In fact today, approximately 70% of synthetic medicines are derived from plants. Herbal adulteration is one of the common malpractices in herbal raw- material trade. Adulteration is described as intentional substitution with another plant species or intentional addition of a foreign substance to increase the weight or potency of the product or to decrease its cost. In general, adulteration is considered as an intentional practice. However, unintentional adulteration also exists in herbal raw-material trade due to various reasons, and many of them are unknown even to the scientific community. Adulteration- Definition- The term adulteration is defined as substituting original crude drug partially or wholly with other similar looking substances. The substance, which is mixed, is free from or inferior in chemical and therapeutic property. Types of adulterant- 1.INTENTIONAL ADULTERATION Generally, the drugs are adulterated by substitution with substandard commercial varieties, inferior drugs or artificially manufactured commodities. The different types of adulterants found in market are given here. 1) Adulteration using manufactured substances- In this type of adulteration the original substances are adulterated by material that are artificially manufactured. The materials are prepared in a way that their general form and appearance resemble with various drugs. Eg. Cargo of ergot from Portugal was adulterated with small masses of flour dough moulded to the correct size and shape and coloured, first using red ink, and then into writing ink.

  • Cycas Circinalis Botanical Name: Cycas Circinalis Common Name
    Cycas circinalis Botanical Name: Cycas circinalis Common Name: Queen Sago Morphological Characteristics: Cycads are an ancient group of seed plants with a crown of large compound leaves and a stout trunk. Cycads are dioecious plants, or in other words, there are separate male and female plants. The female plant produces the seeds, and the male produces cones with pollen in them. Queen Sago is often the focal point in a large yard. The Sago Palm is not a palm, but a cycad. Cycads are known to be among the oldest group of seed plants on earth, surviving unchanged for millions of years.The feathery leaves of this species arranged in a rosette pattern add a sense of the tropics to the landscape. The leaves are bright green, semiglossy, 150-250 cm long, flat (not keeled) in section (opposing leaflets inserted at 180° on rachis), with 170 leaflets, tomentum shedding as leaf expands. The Queen Sago does not branch whereas the King Sago, Cycas revoluta, creates many heads branching off from the main trunk and also from sprouts at ground level. Male Sago plants develop a cone approximately 30 cm tall coming from the center of the top. The cone is white or yellow, rounded and produces abundant pollen. The seeds are quite large and are brown or yellow and are displayed on the feather-like seed-bearing leaves. The seeds have a spongy layer that allows them to float on water. As a slow growing plant, the seed can take from 6–18 months to germinate. Queen Sago is pollinated by a species of weevil, which finds protection in the plant's cone and seed-bearing leaves.
