ISSN: 22312781 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN PHARMACY AND CHEMISTRY Available online at www.ijrpc.com Research Article PHARMACOGNOSTICAL AND PHYSICO–CHEMICAL STANDARDIZATION OF LEAVES OF CAESALPINIA PULCHERRIMA C. R. Pawar1*, R. B. Kadtan1, A. A. Gaikwad1 and D. B. Kadtan2 1S.N.D. College of Pharmacy, Babhulgaon, Yeola, Nasik (Dt.), Maharashtra, India. 2R.C. Patel institute of pharmacy, Shirpur, Dhule, Maharashtra, India. *Corresponding Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Caesalpinia pulcherrima belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae is distributed throught out India. Commonly it is known as Peacock-flower. Plant shows diterpenoids, isovouacaperol, sitosterol and flavonoids. The plant is considered as emmenagogue, purgative and stimulant, abotificient and also used in bronchitis, asthma and malarial fever, leaves used as antipyretic, antimicrobial. Flower also shows antioxidant and antiviral activity. The present study deals with the macroscopical and microscopical studies of Caesalpinia pulcherrima leaf. Macroscopically, the Caesalpinia pulcherrima is compound leaf, ovate shape, entire margin and glabrous surface, asymmetrical base, small petiole. The microscopic study showed presence of collenchyma, vascular bundle, spongy parenchyma, palisade cells, stomata. Some distinct characters were observed while studying the transverse sections. Physiochemical studies revealed total ash, acid insoluble ash, water insoluble ash, loss on drying, alcohol soluble extractive, water soluble extractive and preliminary phytochemical studies of the leaves were also carried out. The present study might be useful to supplement information in regard to its identification parameters. Keywords: Caesalpinia pulcherrima, physico-chemical analysis, phytochemical study. INTRODUCTION diterpenoids, isovouacaperol, sitosterol also Caesalpinia pulcherrima is also known as present. Caesalpinia pulcherrima is used for a peacock flower1 is the type of genus fabaceae various purpose of herbal medicine.

  • Las Especies Del Género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) Cultivadas En España
    Las especies del género Alyogyne Alef. (Malvaceae, Malvoideae) cultivadas en España © 2008-2019 José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres www.arbolesornamentales.es El género Alyogyne Alef. comprende arbustos perennes, con indumento denso o de pelos esparcidos, con las hojas alternas, pecioladas, enteras, palmatilobadas o muy divididas, con estípulas diminutas y caedizas. Las flores son solitarias, axilares, sobre pedicelos largos y articulados. El epicáliz posee 4-10(-12) segmentos unidos en la base; el cáliz consta de 5 sépalos, más largos que el epicáliz, y la corola es más o menos acampanada, regular, formada por 5 pétalos obovados de color blan- co, rosa, lila o púrpura, adnatos a la base de la columna estaminal, cubiertos de pelos estrellados externamente. El androceo posee numerosos estambres (50-100) dispuestos en verticilos, con los filamentos unidos formando una columna que rodea al estilo, y las anteras uniloculares, dehiscentes por suturas longitudinales. El gineceo posee un ovario súpero, con 3-5 lóculos, cada uno de los cuales encierra 3-10 rudimentos seminales. Los estilos están unidos casi hasta el ápice, dividiéndose finalmente en 5 estigmas. El fruto es una cápsula dehis- cente por 3-5 valvas, conteniendo numerosas semillas (3-50) de pequeño tamaño, reniformes o globosas, glabras o pelosas. El nombre procede del griego alytos = unido y gyne = mujer, en alu- sión a los estilos unidos. Según Lewton (1915), el nombre debería ser Allogyne, del griego állos = otro, diferente y gyne = mujer, hembra, en alusión a la diferencia con Hibiscus en cuanto a los estilos. Realmente esta es la gran diferencia con el género Hibiscus, donde los estilos se separan por debajo de los estigmas, mientras que en Alyogyne están unidos justo hasta llegar a los estig- mas, momento en que se dividen.

Available at: http://scholarship.claremont.edu/aliso/vol15/iss1/5 Aliso, 15(1), pp. 41-56 © 1997, by The Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, Claremont, CA 91711-3157 WOOD ANATOMY OF BUDDLEJACEAE SHERWIN CARLQUIST' Santa Barbara Botanic Garden 1212 Mission Canyon Road Santa Barbara, California 93110-2323 ABSTRACT Quantitative and qualitative data are presented for 23 species of Buddleja and one species each of Emorya, Nuxia, and Peltanthera. Although crystal distribution is likely a systematic feature of some species of Buddleja, other wood features relate closely to ecology. Features correlated with xeromorphy in Buddleja include strongly marked growth rings (terminating with vascular tracheids), narrower mean vessel diameter, shorter vessel elements, greater vessel density, and helical thickenings in vessels. Old World species of Buddleja cannot be differentiated from New World species on the basis of wood features. Emorya wood is like that of xeromorphic species of Buddleja. Lateral wall vessel pits of Nuxia are small (2.5 ILm) compared to those of Buddleja (mostly 5-7 ILm) . Peltanthera wood features can also be found in Buddleja or Nuxia; Dickison's transfer of Sanango from Buddlejaceae to Ges­ neriaceae is justified. All wood features of Buddlejaceae can be found in families of subclass Asteridae such as Acanthaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Myoporaceae, Scrophulariaceae, and Verbenaceae.
