Therefore, here we investigated whether extract of antiseptic and immunomulatory activities . Sahu et al.

In this study, we elucidated the effect flavonoids and phenols9 and they have important role of ethanolic flower extract of Q. indica on experimental esophagitis in free radical scavenging activity. As the flower in albino Wister rats.

All the animals were sacrificed species generated from esophageal site. In this after 8 h and evaluated for various parameters such as total acidity, context, we explored if ethanolic extract of Q. indica free acidity, gastric pH, volume of gastric juices and esophagitis index.

Received 12 July, 2016; Accepted 15 October, 2016 This research was carried out to assess the plant species diversity in Nasarawa State, Nigeria with a view to obtain an accurate database and inventory of the naturally occurring plant species in the state for reference and research purposes. This preliminary report covers a total of nine local government areas in the state. The work involved intensive survey and visits to the sample sites for this exercise. The diversity status of each plant and the distribution across the state were also determined using standard method. A total of number of 244 plant species belonging to 57 plant families were identified out of which the families, Asteraceae, Poaceae, Combretaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Moraceae and Papilionaceae were the most highly distributed across the entire study area. There was great extent of diversity in the distribution of plants across all the areas sampled with the highest in Wamba LGA. The most predominant food crop across the state was Sorgum spp. followed by Sesame indica and then Zea mays.

  • Review Article
    Review Article Pharmacognostic properties of Quisqualis indica Linn. against human pathogenic microorganisms : an insight review Abstract India has a large repository of medicinal plants that are used in traditional medical treatments. Several medicinal plants are useful for treating common ailments and some of the plants include Amla (Emblica cinalis), Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Aswagandha (Withania somnifera), Tulsi (Ocimum sanclum), Sarpa Gandha (Ranwolfia serpentine), Sandalwood (Santalum album), Indian birthwort (Aristolochia indica L.), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Neem (Azardirchata indica), Vringraj (Eclipta alba), Grhit kumara (Aloe vera), Harida (Terminalia chebula) and Madhumalati (Quisqualis indica), Catnip (Nepeta cataria), Cayenne pepper (Capsicum annuum), Sage (Salvia officinalis); etc. Quisquails indica commonly known as the Madhu Malati, is a vine with red flower clusters and is found in abundance in India. It shows a wide range of remarkable medicinal properties. Over the last two decades, large scale research has been conducted to identify bio-active constituents of Quisqualis indica therapeutic prospects. This review summarizes the pharmacognostic properties of Quisqualis indica Linn. against human pathogenic microorganisms. Several authors have reviewed the medicinal properties of Quisqualis indica Linn but our review summarizes the anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti- oxidant, anti-pyretic, anti-helminthic, anti-diarrheal, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-microbial, anti- 1 fungal and immuno-modulatory properties. It would be useful to students, academicians, microbiologists, as it reduces the need for detailed searching. It serves the purpose of quick reference. Keywords : Pharmacognostic properties; Quisqualis indica Linn.; human pathogenic microorganisms; review Introduction India is one of the prosperous countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity having 15 agro- meterological zones.

Food items like wheat, rice, vegetables etc. have also been imported from other countries along with the daily essentials in India,. Time to time foreign nationals, Indian kings, leaders and common people have also directly or indirectly imported foreign plants into India and the number of foreign plants has increased continuously from ancient times to the present time. Nowadays, whether it is a garden or farms or an unusable ground, everywhere foreign plants have occupied. Our homes, institutions and plains are full of alien plants than Indian plants. All these exotic plants are flourishing in the Indian climate and are slowly ending or destroying the Indian plants. In the year 2019-20, a continuous survey was conducted to assess the encroachment of foreign plants in the Bareilly College, Bareilly campus.
