It is thought to be native to Brunei, Java and Kalimantan but has been introduced elsewhere including parts of Africa, South America and Hawaii. It is also thought to be native to the Philippines by some authors (Lock and Ford (2004) Hou et al. (1996),) although Merrill (1923) thought it may have been introduced. It is treated as native to this area in this assessment. Hou et al. (1996) also consider it to be native to 'Borneo' and specimens from here have also been included. However, the exact native range is obscure due to extensive cultivation.

It is, however, inferred to exceed critical thresholds, as it has a wide geographic range and occurs in a variety of habitats, including secondary forest.

It was not found in available lists for seed bank collections but it is listed as present in the Hong Kong botanic gardens and it is widely cultivated.

Possibly Extinct Candidate? Rationale for the Red List Assessment The extent of occurrence (EOO) for this species exceeds the threshold for a threatened category. It is difficult to estimate the area of occupancy (AOO) and population as the exact native range is obscure due to extensive cultivation. It is inferred to exceed the critical thresholds.

  • Comparative Morpho-Micrometric Analysis of Some Bauhinia Species (Leguminosae) from East Coast Region of Odisha, India
    Indian Journal of Natural Products and Resources Vol. 11(3), September 2020, pp. 169-184 Comparative morpho-micrometric analysis of some Bauhinia species (Leguminosae) from east coast region of Odisha, India Pritipadma Panda1, Sanat Kumar Bhuyan2, Chandan Dash3, Deepak Pradhan3, Goutam Rath3 and Goutam Ghosh3* 1Esthetic Insights Pvt. Ltd., Plot No: 631, Rd Number 1, KPHB Phase 2, Kukatpally, Hyderabad, Telangana 500072, India 2Institute of Dental Sciences, 3School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Siksha ‗O‘ Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751003, India Received 18 May 2018; Revised 19 May 2020 Bauhinia vahlii has been reported for several medicinal properties, such as tyrosinase inhibitory, immunomodulatory and free radical scavenging activities. Bauhinia tomentosa and Bauhinia racemosa also possess anti-diabetic, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity and antihyperlipidemic activities. Therefore, the correct identification of these plants is critically important. The aim was to investigate the comparative morpho-micrometric analysis of 3 species of Bauhinia belonging to the family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) by using conventional as well as scanning electron microscopy to support species identification. In B. racemosa, epidermal cells are polygonal with anticlinical walls; whereas wavy walled cells are found in B. tomentosa and B. vahlii. Anisocytic stomata are present in B. racemosa, while B. tomentosa shows the presence of paracytic stomata and anomocytic stomata in B. vahlii. Stomatal numbers and stomatal indices were found to be more in B. vahlii than B. tomentosa and B. racemosa. On the other hand, uniseriate, unicellular covering trichomes are found in B. racemosa and B. tomentosa but B. vahlii contains only uniseriate, multicellular covering trichomes. Based on these micromorphological features, a diagnostic key was developed for identification of the particular species which helps a lot in pharmaceutical botany, taxonomy and horticulture, in terms of species identification.

  • Bauhinia Acuminata
    299 NON-GENETIC POLYMORPHISM IN BAUHINIA A C U3 'IINA TA L BY K. R. DRONAMRAJU Indian ,5'lalislica[ Institute, 6'alcttlla-.'~5 (Received i0-11-59) INTRODUCTION In the year 1958 Professor J.B.S. I-Ialdane suggested that I should look for heterostylism in Indian plant species where it had not previously been observed. I found a condition resembling it on a bush ofBa:~hinia acuminal,a L. This however differs fi'om the hetero- styIism so far reported in three respects. First, long and short styled flowers are found on the same plant; secondly the lengths of the filaments of the two flower types are not negatively correlated with the style length; and thirdly, most, if not all of the short styled flowers, are female sterile, i began measuring the styles on this bush in tl~e middle of the flowering season, and the results encouraged me to measure them on four other bushes of the same species. A bush can produce up to 50 flowers in a day, so it was possible to compare the results on different bushes, and on the same bush at difl'erent times. ]~ATERIAL The members of the species Bauhblia acumiTmla L. are leguminous plants belonging to the subfamily Caesalpineae. They have woody upright stems growing to a height of 12 feet. The leaves consist of 2 leaEets joined to form a single leaf with two lobes at the apex. The flowers are white and solitary, and very conspicuous, making the bush attractive in a garden. The 5 petals are slightly unequal in size.

In spite of this, there does not exist a survey of its fauna — except a single contribution, by Lord Walsingham, in Moore's "Lepidoptera of Ceylon", already almost a hundred years old, and a number of small papers and stray descriptions of new species, in various journals. The authors of these papers were Walker, Zeller, Lord Walsingham and a few other classics — until, starting with 1905, a flood of new descriptions 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN I93 (1982) and records from India and Ceylon appeared, all by the hand of Edward Meyrick. He was almost the single specialist of these faunas, until his death in 1938. To this great Lepidopterist we chiefly owe our knowledge of all groups of Microlepidoptera of Sri Lanka. After his death this information stopped abruptly. In the later years great changes have taken place in the tropical countries. We are now facing, alas, the disastrously quick destruction of natural bio- topes, especially by the reckless liquidation of the tropical forests.

Medical University, Department of Siddha Toxicology, 600032, Chennai, India 4 South Eastern University of Sri Lanka, Department of Biological Sciences, 32200, Sammanthurai, Sri Lanka Abstract Bauhinia tomentosa L. is a small tree that belongs to the Fabaceae family and it is distributed in Asia, Africa, North America, and Oceania. B. tomentosa is used to treat some diseases including liver inflammation, abscess, tumors, wounds, and hyperlipidemia in ethnomedicines in Asia and Africa. Compounds like phytone, β-cubebene, β-caryophyllene, 3-O-methyl-d-glucose, and phthalic acid have been isolated from leaves of this plant species. This review article aims to analyze, document, and summarize the reported bioactivities of this plant species. A literature review was conducted using electronic databases like the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Science Direct to identify the relevant published studies from the year 1900 to November 2020. Various parts of B. tomentosa exhibited bioactivities such as analgesic, anti-anxiety, antibacterial, anticatatonic, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, antidi- abetic, antifungal, anthelminthic, antihyperlipidemic, antinociceptive, antioxidant, antipyretic, anti-ulcerative colitis, motor coordi- nation, nephroprotective, nootropic, and wound healing activities in various assays and animal models.

Finally in this review, vahlii, confirmed as one of the different species. Forest product polycyclic of India march 2000 adopted the plant to propagate it by micropropogation as the plant has number of traditional and pharmacological activity. Very little work has been studied in this plant giving researchers to explore the same. But study of chemical compounds isolated may lead to advancement of medicinal chemistry and treatments of ailments and diseases.

INTRODUCTION Language - Name The name Bauhinia vahlii Wight and Arn was first validly Sanskrit - Asmantaka, Malanjhana published in Wight, though unaccompanied by any Assamese - Nak kati lewa description or diagnosis because they cited “Bauhinia Bengali - Chehur lata Shimool racemosa Vahl.” which indirectly referred to the previously Hindi - Malu, Jallaur, Jallur, Mahul and effectively published description by Vahl.
