The study on ethnomedicinal plants used for skin diseases by the tribals of Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, yielded 51 species of plants covering 49 genera and 39 families. Acanthaceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae are the dominant families followed by Mimosaceae, Rutaceae, Apocynaceae, Asteraceae, Asclepiadaceae and Sterculiaceae and others. Habit-wise analysis showed the dominance of trees followed by shrubs, herbs and a climber. Plant part-wise analysis showed the maximum usage of leaf followed by seed and root, fruit, stem bark, whole plant, flower, latex and root bark.

Chemical Evidence

SummaryAn unusual occurrence of porphyritic plagioclase-hornblende-pyroxene granulite (porphyritic basic charnockite) has been observed within the ‘Charnockite region’ of the Eastern Ghats of the Precambrian formations of India. From the X-ray and chemical data the phenocrysts are considered to be augite phenocrysts. Based on petrographic and chemical evidence it is inferred that the basic charnockites of Chipurupalli area in Visakhapatnam district are formed from tholeiitic magma as a gabbroic mass under deep seated plutonic conditions. The gabbroic mass has been recrystallized as plagioclase-hornblende-pyroxene granulite due to later metamorphism, leaving most of the phenocrysts unaffected.

Extended Range

Eastern Ghats are discontinuous hill ranges passing through Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu located between 11⁰30' & 22⁰N latitude and 76⁰50' & 86⁰30'E longitude. Bryophyte flora of this region is still very less explored. During a recent field exploration to Eastern Ghats region of Tamil Nadu three moss taxa viz. Solmsiella biseriata (Austin) Steere, Aulacopilum glaucam Wilson and Groutiella tomentosa (Hornsch) Wijk & Marg. have been identified as new additions to moss flora of Eastern Ghats. The present study provides the information regarding extended range of distribution of these taxa in India and a compensable account of morpho-taxonomical details with earlier described taxa from other bryogeographical zones.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of phyto chemical, antimicrobial activities and micro propagation of the selected medicinal plants i.e. Rauwolfia serpentina, Adhatoda vasica and Alstonia scholaris. These endemic plants belong to Apocynaceae and were collected from higher altitudes of Eastern Ghats, Lambasingi forest region, Andhra Pradesh India. To determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, Soxhlet apparatus was used for this study. Solvents used were in this study are water, ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol. Among them the solvent methanolic extract of Rauwolfia serpentina (57.15±1.2) and Alstonia scholaris (55.06±0.7) showed high content of saponins. The test microrganism which were studied against the efficacy of selected medicinal plant extracts were, two bacterial strians i.e., Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and two fungal strains Aspergillus niger and Vibrio cholera. The antimicrobial activity was proved that the methanol extracts was found to be maximum antimicrobial growth inhibition. The simple and effective protocol was developed to propagate the Rauwolfia plant from nodal explants. Maximum no of 95% plantlets regenerated successfully. These propagated plantlets were hardened to survive in vivo conditions.

The study aims to understand the traditional healthcare management of the newborns of the Parengi Porja tribe. The Parengi Porja tribe is a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) that inhabits the Eastern Ghats, which is a continuous high hilly region of Visakhapatnam district, Andhra Pradesh, India. The members of this tribe strongly believe that the earliest weeks of a newborn’s life is the time for the greatest probability of death and disability. To avoid these misfortunes, they strictly follow the traditional healthcare regimen for newborns, which has significant socio-cultural importance. For this study, 105 neonates were purposively selected, and their mothers were interviewed for data collection. The research data were analysed by qualitative methods that included participant observation, in-depth interviews and focus group discussion. The collected data were repeatedly cross-checked with other elderly female members like grandmothers, and sutranimaizi (traditional birth attendant [TBA]) through interviews to strengthen the efficiency and authenticity of the data. The findings of the study show that this tribal population has its understanding of the management of neonatal health, which is socio-culturally ingrained, sanctioned and transmitted through generations.
