Of six types of identification methods examined, only one was deemed valid and applied appropriately. Quantitative, inferential analysis is an appropriate methodology. All of the identification problems under consideration for wood would fall into the “difficult to validate" cases identified by PCAST (2016). Therefore, inferential analysis must play a central role, not just for genomics analysis, but for every method. © 2017 Brook Milligan, NMSU Identifying Samples and their Sources February 28, 2017 25 / 29 Identification: a general strategy of integrating information Reference Sample / samples identification < : $ Unknown Inference sample model ; # " Reference Uncertainty / samples measures © 2017 Brook Milligan, NMSU Identifying Samples and their Sources February 28, 2017 26 / 29 Thanks to .

It is locally known as „Rakta Chandan‟. This species occurs utterly in a well- defined forest area of Andhra Pradesh in Southern India. Now included in red list of endangered plants under IUCN guidelines. It contains many other compounds that have medicinal properties. Since the beginning of civilization in sub-continent, this plant is widely used in „Ayurved‟ in India. In recent years different studies showed the antimicrobial activity of the leaf extracts, stem bark extracts‟ from this plant. This review paper discusses the therapeutic properties of Red sandal wood. KEYWORDS: Red sandal wood, antimicrobial activity, anti-ageing agent. *Corresponding author B.

University Tirupati - 517 502, A. P. Pterocarpus santalinus, with the common names Red Sanders, Red Sandalwood, and Saunders wood, is a species of Pterocarpus endemic to the southern Eastern Ghats mountain range of South India. This tree is valued for the rich red color of its wood. The wood is not aromatic. The tree is not to be confused with the aromatic Santalum Sandalwood trees that grow natively in South India. Red Sander (RS) is an endangered timber tree species, endemic to southern India. It grows in approximately 5160 km2 of fragmented forest landscape of southern Andhra Pradesh, and in a few sporadic patches in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka states. The wood is primarily used for making musical instruments and luxury furniture. It also yields Santa line dye which finds use in coloring foodstuff and pharmaceutical Preparations.1 CLASSIFICATION Genus Pterocarpus Species Pterocarpus Santalinus Kingdom Plantae (unranked) Angiosperms (unranked) Eudicots (unranked) Rosids Order Fabales Family Fabaceae Subfamily Faboideae Tribe Dalbergieae Other Names Red sanders, Red Sandalwood, Ruby wood Hindi Names Lal Chandan, Rakta Chandan It is a light-demanding moderate sized tree growing up to 8 m tall with a trunk 50–150 cm diameter.
