A number of them are used for their multiple pharmacological activities. Ethano-phramacologically various plant parts are formulated and prescribed in the form of extracts and the decoctions for remedy of different diseases in many tribes. These activities are due to presence of bioactive secondary metabolites in the plant. Systematic and detailed investigation on the composition and pharmacological significance of medicinal plants should be conducted to standardize the formulations, based on ingredients. In the present review, naphthoquinone, naphthalene and naphthol derivatives isolated from Diospyros species are documented here with the pharmacologically important species of the genus.

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

Geographically, it lies between Tholuthur Aiyanar to Tittakudi (079°04.947' E longitude and 11°24.320' N latitude) in the Cuddalore APG III district and was explored for floristic studies which was reported for the first time in the year 2013-2014. The study indicated that totally, 185 plant species belonging to Biodiversity 158 genera and 58 families from 29 orders were enumerated in this sacred grove and Kilcheruvi (Edaicheruvi) followed by Angiosperm phylogeny Group III classification. The most dominant families found were Fabaceae (24), Apocynaceae (13), Malvaceae (9), Rubiaceae (8), Sacred Grove Convolvulaceae (8) and Rutaceae (8) species. Rich biodiversity is present in the sacred Tropical dry evergreen grove. This has ensured the protection and conservation of the vegetation of the sacred forests grove.

Il est parfois appelé figuier caque. Dans son acception restreinte, le mot désigne couramment le kaki ou plaqueminier du japon dont il est question dans cet article sauf mention contraire. C'est un arbre originaire de Chine et cultivé pour son fruit. Étymologie et histoire Le terme kaki a été emprunté[1] au japonais kaki no ki, litt. arbre du kaki[2]. Plaquemine vient de l'algonquin piakimina[3] (1682, Lett. de M. de La Sale) désignant le plaqueminier de Virginie (Diospyros virginiana) en Amérique du Nord[4]. Diospyros vient du grec ancien Διος πυρος (Dioscoride 3, 141) dios « dieu, Zeus » et pyros « blé » soit « blé de Zeus » (pour l'histoire de diospyros voir ce terme). En chinois, l'arbre se dit 柿 子 树 shizishu et le fruit 柿 子 shizi. Les Européens ont pris connaissance de ce fruit au XVIIe siècle grâce à Matteo Ricci. Joseph Banks, le botaniste du premier voyage du capitaine Cook en 1768, est crédité de l'introduction du Diospyros kaki en Europe[5].

  • EBONY Botanical Name: Diospyros Ebenum Family: Ebenaceae Chromosome No.: 2N=28
    Dr. K.S. Yadav Assistant Professor (Horticulture) School of Agricultural Sciences & Technology RIMT University, Mandi Gobindgarh. EBONY Botanical name: Diospyros ebenum Family: Ebenaceae Chromosome no.: 2n=28 Introduction: Ebony consists of tropical shrubs or trees that are deciduous. Most belong to the genus Diospyros, which is found primarily in India, Sri Lanka, and Africa. A few ebony plants, such as the Texas ebony or the persimmon, grow in warm temperate regions. Heartwood is most often black, but some can also be dark red, green, and black with shades of yellow or orange. The stem contains tannin cells but lacks milky sap. The “tree of music” as it is famously called, ebony is one of the most expensive wood-yielding group of trees in the world. Famous for its hardwood and inability to float, the name ebony is essentially given to a group of plants with these characteristic features. The most prominent feature, however, is that which is related to its name; the wood is black or the darkest wood in the plant world. Uses: Modern uses are largely restricted to small items, such as crucifixes, and musical instrument parts, including black piano and harpsichord keys, violin, viola, mandolin, guitar, double bass, and cello fingerboards, tailpieces, pegs, chinrests, and bow frogs. Many plectrums, or guitar picks, are made from this black wood. Traditionally, the black pieces in chess sets were made from ebony, with boxwood or ivory being used for the white pieces. Modern East Midlands-style lace-making bobbins, also being small, are often made of ebony and look particularly decorative when bound with brass or silver wire.
