Alagesaboopathi Department of Botany, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Salem – 636007, Tamilnadu, India Received on:12-06-2012; Revised on: 17-07-2012; Accepted on:26-08-2012 ABSTRACT The present investigation was carried out in the Salem district of Tamilnadu, India, to document the poisonous plants. A total of 33 species belonging to 28 genera and 20 families have been reported. Information on poisonous plants is significant as some of them are used in medication. The poisonous activities due to toxic substances namely, tannins, glycosides, saponins, alkaloids, amines, proteins, amino acids, mycotoxins, picrotoxins, resins, chelating poisons, etc. a record of 33 poisonous plants occurring on the Salem district of Tamilnadu has been presented. The knowledge on the poisonous plant species has been collected from the tribals, village dwellers, the herbal medicine practitioners and other traditional healers during ethnomedicinal field survey. The poisonous plant species are arranged in alphabetical order. Each plant is followed by its family, vernacular name (Tamil), poisonous plant part(s) and poisonous symptoms. The investigation recommends that tribals and common people are not only knowing of such poisonous plants and their detrimental causes, but also utilize them judiciously for manage of mosquitoes, bugs, ticks, grasshoppers, moth, insect-pests and several other hurtful organisms. Key words: Poisonous plants, Ethnomedicine, Malayali, Salem, Tamilnadu.

Box no. 5555, Kathmandu, Nepal E-mail: [email protected] (Received 19 July 2012; accepted 26 September 2012) Abstract A revised list of 337 pteridophytes from political India is presented according to the six higher IUCN categories, and following on from the wider list of Chandra et al. (2008). This is nearly one third of the total c. 1100 species of indigenous Pteridophytes present in India. Endemics in the list are noted and carefully revised distributions are given for each species along with their estimated IUCN category. A slightly modified update of the classification by Fraser-Jenkins (2010a) is used. Phanerophlebiopsis balansae (Christ) Fraser-Jenk. et Baishya and Azolla filiculoi- des Lam. subsp. cristata (Kaulf.) Fraser-Jenk., are new combinations. Key words : endangered, India, IUCN categories, pteridophytes.

It should be the IUCN categories until more information realised that IUCN listing (IUCN, 2010) is became available.

We have been extracting energy, materials and organisms from nature and altering landscapes at a rate that cannot be a sustainable one. Our nature is an essential partnership; an 'essential', because each living species has its space and role', and performs an activity vital to the whole; a 'partnership', because the biological species or the living components of nature can only thrive together, because together they create a dynamic equilibrium. Nature is further a dynamic entity that never remains the same- that changes, that adjusts, that evolves; 'equilibrium', that is in spirit, balanced and harmonious. Nature, in fact, promotes evolution, radiation and diversity. The current biodiversity is an inherited vital resource to us, which needs to be carefully conserved for our future generations as it holds the key to the progress in agriculture, aquaculture, clothing, food, medicine and numerous other fields.
