Background Results: A total of 1247 species from 152 families Human-nature interaction has been long entwined in has been documented for use against eighteen the history of humanity. Apart from deriving natural categories of diseases common in tropical and sub- resources, humans have a deep rooted tradition of tropical landscapes. Though the reported species venerating nature which is extensively observed are clustered around a few widely distributed across continents (Verschuuren 2010). The tradition families, 71% of them are uniquely represented from has attracted attention of researchers and policy- any single biogeographic region. The use of multiple makers for its impact on local ecological and socio- species in treating an ailment, high use value of the economic dynamics.

E-mail: skvermaster@gmail. com Abstract Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder prevalent world wide. It requires long term treatment with available antiepileptic agents but the associated side effects and incomplete success rates in treatment are some challenges in front of mankind. Traditional treatment of epilepsy through various plants is also very popular in rural and tribal belts of India. An attempt was made to gather information about antiepileptic plants being used by different indigenous communities all over the country. It has revealed use of total 159 plants for treatment of epilepsy and its related symptoms in India. Out of these, 55 plants have been evaluated for their anticonvulsant potential in various biological studies. There is an urgent need for scientific evaluation of rest of the 104 plants for their antiepileptic potential to obtain a safe, efficient and cost-effective treatment for this serious brain disorder.

  • The Archaeobotany of Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong: the Agriculture of Late Prehistoric Southern Thailand (Volume 1)
    The Archaeobotany of Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong: The Agriculture of Late Prehistoric Southern Thailand (Volume 1) Cristina Castillo Institute of Archaeology University College London Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London 2013 Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation consists of original work undertaken by the undersigned. Where other sources of information have been used, they have been acknowledged. Cristina Castillo October 2013 Institute of Archaeology, UCL 2 Abstract The Thai-Malay Peninsula lies at the heart of Southeast Asia. Geographically, the narrowest point is forty kilometres and forms a barrier against straightforward navigation from the Indian Ocean to the South China Sea and vice versa. This would have either led vessels to cabotage the southernmost part of the peninsula or portage across the peninsula to avoid circumnavigating. The peninsula made easy crossing points strategic locations commercially and politically. Early movements of people along exchange routes would have required areas for rest, ports, repair of boats and replenishment of goods. These feeder stations may have grown to become entrepôts and urban centres. This study investigates the archaeobotany of two sites in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Khao Sam Kaeo and Phu Khao Thong. Khao Sam Kaeo is located on the east whereas Phu Khao Thong lies on the west of the peninsula and both date to the Late Prehistoric period (ca. 400-100 BC). Khao Sam Kaeo has been identified as the earliest urban site from the Late Prehistoric period in Southeast Asia engaged in trans-Asiatic exchange networks.

Magesh National Museum of Natural History, New Delhi, India Naaz Rizvi National Museum of Natural History, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT Medicinal plants offer alternative remedies with tremendous opportunities. They not only provide access and affordable medicine to poor people; they can also generate income, employment and foreign exchange for developing countries. Many traditional healing herbs and plant parts have been shown to have medicinal value, especially in the rural areas and that these can be used to prevent, alleviate or cure several human diseases. In the present floristic survey, it was observed that primitive tribal's use medicinal plant parts for treatment of different ailments. A total of 417 plants were recorded in the study area, this paper provides data on 30 medicinal plants belongs to 19 families used by the Santhal tribal communities living in and around the Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary. KEYWORDS Indigenous knowledge, Santhal, Sanctuary INTRODUCTION: Interest in the utilization of medicinal and aromatic plants as pharmaceuticals, herbal remedies, flavourings, perfumes and cosmetics, and other natural products has greatly increased in the recent years. As with many other economic plants that are still being collected from the wild and used by humans unsustainably, threats to genetic diversity and species survival have also increased in the case of medicinal plants as a result of habitat destruction, over-exploitation, land use changes and other pressures.
