Wormia Rottb. inserted in species genus ( included) the in the Flora revision of the Dilleniaceae Malesiana ser. I, vol. 4, in December 1951. A critical revision of part 3, pp. 141—174, published whole the genus has never been published before; the unfortunate result of this has been that the delimitation of Dillenia and Wormia, usually as has distinct genera, been based on different characters by various authors. The extension of the revision for the Flora Malesiana so as to include the extra-malaysian species enabled me to study a number of species, the which confirmed me in that the characters knowledge of certainly my idea been on which Dillenia and Wormia had separated before are certainly not the primary characters, to be used in the taxonomic treatment of the genus. All specimens and literature mentioned in this work have been examined indicated by me, unless otherwise; excepted are the specimens of the U.S. National Herbarium., of which I have only examined those collections, of which no duplicates were available from other herbaria. Particulars, not to be taken from the herbarium specimens themselves, taken such as habit, height, diameter, colour, etc., have been from the the collectors’ notes and, as far as reliable, from literature, and are in- in if serted the descriptions; there are contradictory data, they are dis- cussed under the Notes. A great amount of material, kindly, lent by various herbaria to the Rijksherbarium, Leyden, made it possible to mc to carry out this study. In the citation of the specimens these herbaria are indicated by the in Chronica Botanica 142— abbreviations, proposed (by Lanjouw 5, 1939, pp. 150; with a single addition (LAB) they are: A Arnold Anborotum Herbarium, Harvard University, Jamaica Plain, Mass..

  • Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Effects of Dillenia Suffruticosa and Eugenia Polyantha Water Extracts Against Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells
    Antioxidant and cytotoxic effects of Dillenia suffruticosa and Eugenia polyantha water extracts against nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells by NUR DIYANA BINTI MUSA A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Research) Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science SWINBURNE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 2020 ABSTRACT Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the cancers that is silently prevalent in the east. In Sarawak, it is commonly detected among the local Chinese and Bidayuh ethnics, especially in males. Sarawak is home to a wide variety of flora species that may possess anticancer properties. In this study, the edible plants that were analysed were; (i) Dillenia suffruticosa (Griff.) Martelli or locally known as “daun simpoh/buan” and (ii) Eugenia polyantha Wight or “daun bungkang”. For D. suffruticosa, only the edible upper young shoots were selected as the sample while for E. polyantha, the middle leaves (var. a) and young shoots (var. b) were used. Crude water extracts were prepared from freeze-dried powder of the plant samples. The extract samples were then subjected to total polyphenolic assays; total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC). The antioxidant capacities of the extracts were determined using DPPH and ABTS assays. The anticancer potential of the extracts was assessed based on cell viability and cell migration rate in the presence of the extract samples. The cell lines used were nasopharyngeal cancer cells, NPC/HK1 and normal keratinocyte cells, HaCaT for comparisons. Cell viability was determined using MTS cell proliferation assays. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value was determined based on the cell viability dose-response curve of the cells incubated with the plant extracts for 72 h.

Ranwala 1 Department of Zoology, Open University of Sri Lanka, Nawala, Nugegoda 2 Department of Botany, The Open University of Sri Lanka, Nawala, Nugegoda 3 Department of Plant Sciences, University of Colombo, Colombo 03 Date Received: 20-04-2013 Date Accepted: 29-10-2013 Abstract Dillenia suffruticosa (Griffith) Martelli, that spreads fast in low-lying areas in wet zone of Sri Lanka is currently listed as a nationally important Invasive Alien Species that deserves attention in ecological studies. Thus, impact of this woody invader on physical, chemical properties of soil and below and above ground flora was investigated. Five sampling sites were identified along a distance of 46km from Avissawella to Ratnapura. At each site, two adjacent plots [1m x10m each for D. suffruticosa present (D+) and absent (D-)] were outlined. Physical and chemical soil parameters, microbial biomass and number of bacterial colonies in soil were determined using standard procedures and compared between D+ and D- by ANOVA using SPSS. Rate of decomposition of D. suffruticosa leaves was also determined using the litter bag technique at 35% and 50% moisture levels. Above ground plant species richness in sample stands was compared using Jaccard and Sorenson diversity indices. Decomposition of D. suffruticosa leaves was slow, but occurred at a more or less similar rate irrespective of moisture content of soil.

  • Pharmacognostic Studies on Dillenia Indica Linn. I. Leaf*
    Prec. Indian Aead. Sei., Vol. 88 B, Part 2, Number 1, January 1979, pp. 35-48, printed in India Pharmacognostic studies on Dillenia indica Linn. I. Leaf*. USHA SHOME, R K KHANNA and H P SHARMA Pharmacognosy Laboratory, National Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow 226 001 MS received 7 January 1978; revised 23 October 1978 Abstract. Dillenia indica Linn. is widely used in the indigenous systems of medicine; the leaf and bark as an astringent, the bruised bark, externally as a cataplasm in arthritis, and the fruit juice as a cough mixture, a cooling beverage as also for toning up the nervous system. It is considered a 'vat' suppressant ' pitta ' augmenting drug in Ayurveda. The paper deals with pharmacognosy of the leaf of D. indica. The characters studied in detail include both macroscopic and microscopic characters; physical and other constants, such as stomatal index, palisade ratio, vein islet numbers, vein termination numbers, ash values, percentages oftannins, totalsugars and reducing sugars. Preliminary phytochemical tests, TLC and fluorescence tests have also been carded out. Keywords. Dillenia indica ; pharmacognosy; Dilleniaccae. 1. Introduction Dillenia indica Linn. known as Chilta and Girnar in Hindi, Chalta in Bengali, Bhavya in Sanskrit and Elephant apple in English (Benthall 1946), belongs to the family Dilleniaceae. Nine species of the genus are reported from the Indian subcontinent (Hooker 1872). D. indica grows in tropical forests in the western peninsula, Bihar and the Himalayas from Nepal to Assam and from Sylhet to Sri Lanka (Hooker 1872). It is an evergreen tree, 9-25 m in height and up to 1.8 m in girth, with a dense rounded crown (Anon 1952).

    Dillenia indica: anethno-medicinal plant with high values inpharmaceutical industry Vijay kumar1,I. B. Prasher2*, Shivani Raghuwanshi3 1,2,3Mycology and Plant Pathology Laboratory, Panjab University, Chandigarh (India) ABSTRACT Medicinal plants have been usedfor the welfare human being from immemorial time. During past, human beings are totally relyupon plants for the medicinesand also in the modern era many of the modern medicines are produced indirectly from plants. According to WHO, 80 per cent of the world’s population depend on herbal medicine; especially the millions of people of developing countries.Dillenia indica is a flowering plant belongs to dilliniaceae family. It is a widely used medicinal plant inpharmaceutical industries. It has high medicinal values like Anti-inflammatory, Analgesic, Anti-diabetic, Antimicrobial and Antibacterial, Anticancer, Antioxidant, Antidiarrheal,wound healing indigestion, influenza, asthma, dysentery, weakness, jaundice and rheumatic pain etc. This review is about Dillenia indica and its application in pharmaceutical industry. Keywords:Anti-diabetic, Anti-inflammatory, Medicinal Plants, prehistoric. I. INTRODUCTION India is an affluent source of biodiversity and habitat for more than 45000 distinct plant species [1].Out of these, about 15,000-20,000 plants have medicinal value. However, traditional communities used only 7,000-7,500 species for their different medicinal properties. Due to anthropogenic activity these plants are eliminating at alarming rate. Plants are important part of universal sustainability because of their many ecosystem services like supply of fuel, food, medicine, shelter, condiments, aromas and perfumes [2]. Healthy ecosystems are essential for the welfare of all human beings. All living organisms are inter-dependent upon one another directly or indirectly.
