    Final Recovery Plan Southwestern Willow Flycatcher (Empidonax traillii extimus) August 2002 Prepared By Southwestern Willow Flycatcher Recovery Team Technical Subgroup For Region 2 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103 Approved: Date: Disclaimer Recovery Plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views nor the official positions or approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. They represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Regional Director or Director as approved. Approved Recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Some of the techniques outlined for recovery efforts in this plan are completely new regarding this subspecies. Therefore, the cost and time estimates are approximations.

The site is triangular, bordered by Montague Expressway to the west and Trade Zone Blvd. to the south. Currently, the site is an office complex, with a vegetated berm along the western and southern boundaries. The three buildings are centrally located with peripheral parking and landscaping throughout. The plan proposes to construct 92 attached town homes and 42 single-family homes, for a total of 134 homes. HortScience, Inc. was asked to prepare an Arborist Report for the site. This report provides the following information: 1. An evaluation of the health and structural condition of all trees growing within and adjacent to the project area based on a visual inspection of external conditions. 2. An assessment of the impacts of constructing the proposed project on the trees. 3. Guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction and maintenance phases of development.

It has got several therapeutic uses: haemostatic, antidiarrhetic, antiulcer, antimicrobial, antiviral, wound healing, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, etc. Besides these medicinal applica- tions, it is used as a coloring material, varnish and also has got applications in folk magic. These red saps and resins are derived from a number of disparate taxa. Despite its wide uses, little research has been done to know about its true source, quality control and clinical applications. In this review, we have tried to overview different sources of Dragon’s blood, its source wise chemical constituents and therapeutic uses. As well as, a little attempt has been done to review the techniques used for its quality control and safety. © 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • A HOSPITAL PHARMACOPOEIA of THE- NINETEENTH CENTURY by S
    A HOSPITAL PHARMACOPOEIA OF THE- NINETEENTH CENTURY by S. T. ANNING MATTHEWS wrote: 'The compilation of a pharmacopoeia by the physicians and the apothecaries of a hospital proved a great convenience to the many resident and con- sulting physicians treating patients there. Prescriptions in regular use for the treatment of a particular set of symptoms constituted the bulk of the formulae. Time could be saved by merely writing the name of the mixture or pills, etc., required and a supply for stock could be prepared beforehand.... As early as 1730 St. Bartholomew's Hospital, London, had its own printed pharmacopoeia, and, as newly established hospitals adopted their own routines for the dispensing of the medicines ordered for their patients, so the number of hospital pharmacopoeias increased'.' At the General Infirmary at Leeds the earliest pharmacopoeia to be discovered is that of 1863. It is hand-written and the calligraphy throughout is the same but additional entries, presumably later, are in a different hand. There are marginal initialed notes which were written by T.C.A., C.G.W., J.D.H., C.B. and another which is undecipherable. The initials must be those of Thomas Clifford Allbutt,* Claudius Galen Wheelhouse** and John Deakin Heaton***. C.B. has not been identified and was certainly not on the honorary staff of the Infirmary. The marginal notes must have been made between 1864, the year of publication of the first British Pharmacopoeia and of the appointments of Allbutt and Wheelhouse to the staff of the Infirmary, and 1880 when Heaton died. In the Infirmary pharmacopoeia of 1863 there are three Aquae or medicated waters: Aqua Menthol Pip.

Although the bark and roots are the most common plant parts used, depending on the potency other plant parts such as leaves, flowers, stem, secretory products, etc. are also used as medicine. Secretory products include secretions obtained either naturally or by making incisions in the plant. External secretory structures include trichornes, glands, nectaries, hydathodes and osmophores while the internal secretory structures located below the epidermis layer consist of thc glands and ducts, which secrete oils, gums and resins, and laticifers, which secrete latex.
