BOTANICAL DIRECTORY Because there is such variation in the Romanized Thai spelling, sometimes more than one variation of the plant’s Thai name has been included. If the Thai name starts with dok (flower), bai (leaf), ya (grass), rag (root), gason (stamen/pollen), gan (inner trunk), naam mun (oil), or luk (fruit), then try looking the name up without the prefix. 285 All English names, scientific names, as well as alternative Thai names are listed in alphabetical order in the left column, with the correct spelling under which the botanical is listed in the “Botanical” section in the right column. If the correct Thai name is looked at, then there will be no referral in the right column. Once the proper Thai named is found, the botanical can be found alphabetically in the “Botanical” section.

Unfortunately most of our people today, are unaware of these practices and they generally seek western modern veterinary medic- inal assistance due to this unawareness and also for convenience in their busy lives. Hence, this study was undertaken to collect and preserve the old knowledge and practices. Data were gathered from tra- ditional veterinary physicians in Central and Sabaragamuwa provinces, 011a leaves and text books. These physicians have a knowledge in identifying and treating diseases, preparation of medicines, mode of drug administration, burning of vital points (moxibustion), branding, and blood letting. Specific ap- plications of metaphysical nature such as mystical diagrams and charms, `Yanthra' or 'Kern' are also used. The striking feature of this treatment regimen is the incorporation of both physical (visible) and metaphysical (invisible) methods to treat diseases as preventive and therapeutic measures. The medici- nal preparations consist of herbs, metals, minerals and animal products including milk products, eggs, bones, meat, spider web, anthill mud and human urine. It is also observed that the traditional veteri- nary medicinal practices; especially in treatment of cattle, are very diverse. Key words: Cattle diseases, Traditional veterinary remedies, Sri Lanka INTRODUCTION the knowledge to identify and treat them by using various methods.

According to the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO), approximately 13 million hectors of global forests have been lost annually due to forest land conversion to other land uses, forest fires and natural disasters, while reforestation and natural regeneration account for an increase of approx. 7.8 million hectors of forest cover. This means the net loss of global forest is estimated at 5.2 million hectors. Adverse impacts of forest conversion to farmland can be minimized as far as the land is properly used and managed in a sustainable manner. However, in some cases, problem soils are exposed and abandoned as degraded land. Deforestation by mining is a big issue these years. Problem soils such as strong acid soils and/or too much heavy metal soils appear at the ex-mining areas. In some cases it is too difficult to reforestate.

Then, non-target effects of the EO mixtures on physiological changes of eggplant (Solanum melongena) were tested. The insecticidal property and physiological toxicity of the fumigation formulas were also examined and compared to methyl bromide (MB) fumigation. The results showed that the eggplant fumigated with clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus) EOs mixture at the ratio of 1:3 (Cl1Le3) showed no significant physiological changes when compared to the control treatment. The formula resulted in similarly high mortalities (82-100%) of both insects when compared to MB. However, MB fumigation caused complete senescence appeared before day 3 observations. On the contrary, the eggplant fumigated with Cl1Le3 at 3 µL/L air showed no differences in the physiological changes when compared to the control throughout the 9-day examinations.

Methods: The air dried stem of A. nigra and leaves of A. tuberosum was ground to powder and extracted with water and 95% of ethanol. The extract was screened for phytochemicals, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) with its potential antioxidant activities using hydrogen peroxide-scavenging assay. Results: Phytochemical test shows that extract contains variety of phytochemicals among which there is a high level of total phenol and flavonoids. The total phenolic content (TPC) of A. nigra and A. tuberosum was 0.450±0.0740 and 1.663±0.296; respectively. The total flavonoid content (TFC) of A. nigra and A. tuberosum was 0.322±0.077 and 0.978±0.119, respectively. The plants possessed potent antioxidant activity when compared with the reference compound ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Conclusions: A. nigra and A. tuberosum may be useful for the preparation of neutraceuticals as potent antioxidant to treat various human diseases and their complications. Keywords: aromatic medicinal plants, North east India, glycosides INTRODUCTION Allium tuberosum belonging to the family North east India comprises seven states commonly Amaryllidaceae is a perennial herb related to onion known as the “Seven Sisters”.

Many plants of genus Alpinia have been used for thousands of years to treat digestive system diseases and as anti-inflammatory drugs. Phytochemical research on this genus has led to the isolation of different kinds of diarylheptanoids, terpenes triterpenoids, phenylbutanoids, lignans, and flavonoids. Experimental evidences revealed that both the crude extracts and pure constituents isolated from the genus Alpinia exhibit a wide range of bioactivities such as anti- cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, cardiovascular, and digestive system protective effects. Here, we summarize the phytochemistry and pharmacology investigation of the genus Alpinia, which can provide reference for further research and drug development. Key words: Genus Alipinia, phytochemistry, pharmacology, a review Received 3 August 2015; Accept 2 March 2016 INTRODUCTION review, the conclusion can be drawn that, diarylheptanoids, terpenes and flavonoids are abundant in this genus. Genus Alpinia is a large genus of the Zingiberaceae family, which is widely distributed in many tropical regions of Asia, including China, India and Indonesia.

Hugo de Boer, Department of Organismal Biology, Systematic Biology, Uppsala University, Sweden. Dr. Hien Le Thu, Institute of Biotechnology (IBT), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST), Hanoi, Vietnam. Abstract Trade and commercialization of non‐timber forest products, like cycas palms, rattans, and orchids form a serious threat to biodiversity in South‐East Asia. The intensity at which these resources are collected, as well as the techniques used, are unsustainable. To distinguish between common and endangered species is complicated, especially of related species within the same family or genus. Molecular barcoding applied to plants uses DNA‐sequences to contribute to identification and distinction between species. In this paper we investigate the possibility of finding suitable barcodes for Amomum Roxb., a genus of well‐known medicinal plants in South‐East Asia, by comparing three genetic markers matK, ITS and trnL.

Cyrtophyllum Reinw., one of several distinct lineages among the Fagraea complex, is the correct genus to which five species of Southeast Asian trees should be assigned, including the widespread F. fragrans. Cyrtophyllum minutiflorum K.M.Wong is a new species described here. Two new combinations are made: C. caudatum (Ridl.) K.M.Wong and C. wallichianum (Benth.) M.Sugumaran & K.M.Wong. Keywords. Cyrtophyllum, Fagraea fragrans, Gentianaceae, Malesia, Potalieae, Potaliinae, Southeast Asia Introduction The results of a molecular phylogenetic study of the Fagraea complex (Sugumaran & Wong 2012) demonstrated the distinctness of a number of generic lineages from Fagraea Thunb. s.s. (Wong & Sugumaran 2012). Among these, Cyrtophyllum Reinw. and Picrophloeus Blume were readily distinguished from Fagraea s.s., Limahlania K.M.Wong & M.Sugumaran and Utania G.Don because the first two genera have flowers with conspicuously exserted styles (typically more than 40% of their length) and filaments (greater than 70% of their length) (Sugumaran & Wong 2012). Also, Cyrtophyllum and Picrophloeus frequently have cymes bearing numerous small flowers (corollas narrow, the mouth often not more than 10 mm wide), compared to the other genera, which typically have larger flowers (corollas typically much wider) in variable numbers. However, Cyrtophyllum has axillary cymes and Aubréville’s tree architectural model, whereas Picrophloeus and the other three genera all have terminal cymes and consistently other architectural models (Scarrone’s in Picrophloeus and Fagraea s.s., Fagerlind’s in Limahlania, Roux’s in Utania) (Sugumaran & Wong 2012; Wong & Sugumaran 2012).
