  • A Recent Phytochemical Review – Fruits of Tribulus Terrestris Linn
    Suresh Reddy Yanala et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 8(3), 2016, 132-140 A Recent Phytochemical Review – Fruits of Tribulus terrestris Linn Suresh Reddy Yanala¹*, D. Sathyanarayana², K. Kannan³ Department of Pharmacy, Annamalai University, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract The genus Tribulus, belonging to family Zygophyllaceae, comprises about 20 species widely distributed across the world, of which three species, viz. Tribulus terrestris, Tribulus cistoides and Tribulus alatus, are of common occurrence in India. Among them, T. terrestris commonly known as gokharu or puncture wine is a well known medicinal herb has been used for a long time in both the Indian and Chinese alternative systems of medicine for treatment of various kinds of diseases. This review summarized the current knowledge on the phytochemistry. Fruits of the Tribulus terrestris contain a variety of chemical constituents which are medicinally important, such as flavonoids, flavonol glycosides, steroidal saponins, steroidal glycosides, furostanol saponins, furosteroidal saponins, furostanol glycosides, sapogenins and alkaloids. It has diuretic, aphrodisiac, antiurolithic, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, absorption enhancing, hypolipidemic, cardiotonic, central nervous system, hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antispasmodic, anticancer, antibacterial, anthelmintic, larvicidal, and anticarcinogenic activities. For the last few decades or so, extensive research work has been done to prove its pharmacological activities of its various extracts. Keywords-Tribulus terrestris L. fruit, Gokhru, Zygophyllaceae, Phytochemicals 1. INTRODUCTION 1.3 Common and Vernacular Names 1.1 Botany and occurrence. Tribulus terrestris has a list of alternative names almost as Tribulus terrestris L. is awell known and widely long as its history. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is distributed species of the genus Tribulus.

  • Project CSE 1 Identification of Species and the Origin of Tribulus Found in Areas of Dried Vine Fruit Production
    Final report: Project CSE 1 Identification of species and the origin of Tribulus found in areas of dried vine fruit production Prepared for The Australian Dried Fruits Research and Development Council Prepared by Dr J. K. Scott and Ms. S. M. Morrison CSIRO Division of Entomology Western Australia 31 August 1994 a DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE C S I RO WESTERN AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA CSE 1 IDENTIFYING SPECIES AND ORIGIN OF TRIBULUS FOUND IN AREAS OF DRIED VINE FRUIT PRODUCTION Organisation: CSIRO Division of Entomology Location: South Perth Department of Agriculture, W.A. Supervisor: Dr J.K. Scott Time Span: July 1991 to June 1994 Objective: To identify, and determine the origin of Tribulus species (caltrop) that occur in areas of dried vine fruit production as a pre-requisite for identifying suitable control measures. Progress: 1. Burrs of Tribulus terrestris s./. were obtained from 54 collections throughout the world distribution of this weed. 2. Morphological analysis of the burrs indicated that the Queensland and Northern Territory collections form a separate group from collections in southern Australia, and that a third group exists in northern Western Australia. The combination of height and length of burrs was most useful to separate the groups and is a suitable quick technique for the preliminary identification of major taxonomic groups. Morphology however, did not reflect all of the variation detected by cytology and isozyme analysis. 3. Chromosome counts of 2n = 24, 36 and 48 were detected in root tips of germinated seed. This polyploid series appears to have an autopolyploid origin. The cytogenetic studies showed that the Queensland and Northern Territory collections are different from all other Australian collections, except possibly two southern collections.

  • Gum Trees Talk Notes
    Australian Plants Society NORTH SHORE GROUP Eucalyptus, Angophora, Corymbia FAMILY MYRTACEAE GUM TREES OF THE KU-RING-GAI WILDFLOWER GARDEN Did you know that: • The fossil evidence for the first known Gum Tree was from the Tertiary 35-40 million years ago. • Myrtaceae is a very large family of over 140 genera and 3000 species of evergreen trees and shrubs. • There are over 900 species of Gum Trees in the Family Myrtaceae in Australia. • In the KWG, the Gum Trees are represented in the 3 genera: Eucalyptus, Angophora & Corymbia. • The name Eucalyptus is derived from the Greek eu = well and kalyptos = covered. BRIEF HISTORY E. obliqua The 18th &19th centuries were periods of extensive land exploration in Australia. Enormous numbers of specimens of native flora were collected and ended up in England. The first recorded scientific collection of Australian flora was made by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, during Sir James Cook’s 1st voyage to Botany Bay in April 1770. From 1800-1810, George Caley collected widely in N.S.W with exceptional skill and knowledge in his observations, superb preservation of plant specimens, extensive records and fluent expression in written records. It is a great pity that his findings were not published and he didn’t receive the recognition he deserved. The identification and classification of the Australian genus Eucalyptus began in 1788 when the French botanist Charles L’Heritier de Brutelle named a specimen in the British Museum London, Eucalyptus obliqua. This specimen was collected by botanist David Nelson on Captain Cook’s ill- fated third expedition in 1777 to Adventure Bay on Tasmania’s Bruny Is.

The objective of this research was to explore the possibility of propagating the species vegetatively to maintain its genetic identity and population. Therefore, an experiment was conducted by taking different cutting portions viz., apical, sub-apical and basal which were treated with various IBA concentrations viz., control, 2500, 5000 and 7500 ppm. Results shown that apical cuttings when treated with 5000 ppm IBA concentration performed significantly better in sprouting (85%) and rooting percentage (50%) in comparison to other treatments. While as control treatment had shown no rooting in all types of cutting portions. Key words: Berberis aristata, vegetative propagation, IBA.

    Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect.

We discuss the landscapes of Botany Bay and particularly of the historic landing place at Kurnell (lat 34˚ 00’ S, long 151˚ 13’ E) (about 16 km south of central Sydney), as described in the journals of Lieutenant James Cook and Joseph Banks on the Endeavour voyage in 1770. We list 132 plant species that were collected at Botany Bay by Banks and Daniel Solander, the first scientific collections of Australian flora. The list is based on a critical assessment of unpublished lists compiled by authors who had access to the collection of the British Museum (now Natural History Museum), together with species from material at National Herbarium of New South Wales that has not been previously available. The list includes Bidens pilosa which has been previously regarded as an introduced species. In 1770 the Europeans set foot on Aboriginal land of the Dharawal people. Since that time the landscape has been altered in response to a succession of different land-uses; farming and grazing, commemorative tree planting, parkland planting, and pleasure ground and tourist visitation.
