Ethnobotany gives the basic idea about the medicinal properties of plants. Identification of active compounds of the medicinal plants and their standardization is essential for the production of new drugs. In the present work, different parts of the five medicinal plants (Curcuma caesia, Costus speciosus, Drymaria cordata, Leea macrophylla, Plumbago zeylanica) were washed, air dried and crushed. Three different extracts of each powdered material were prepared and standard phytochemical analysis procedure was followed for the analysis of physicochemical properties of plants and the identification of active chemical constituents. Among 5 plants, the highest moisture content (14.83%) was found in Plumbago zeylanica, higher total ash (9.22%) and acid insoluble ash (4.43%) were observed in Cucurma caesia. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of 12 varieties of bioactive chemicals in the 5 different plants. The plants of the area have great diversity of phytochemicals of numerous medicinal properties. In conclusions, these five important medicinal plants could be useful for the people of the locality to cure several diseases as well as to generate the source of income. BIBECHANA 17 (2020) 67-74

Aegle marmelos, commonly known as Bael, is one of the most important medicinal plants of Indian tradition. All parts of the tree viz. leaf, fruit, bark and root have medicinal properties and have been used in many traditional medicine systems. The present study trial has been taken up at Horticultural College & Research Institute, Coimbatore to establish a protocol for in vitro germination of seeds to use it further for clonal propagation. The investigation revealed that the seeds without seed coat gave more number of multiple shoots (5.57) where as the seeds with seed coat gave single seedling. The days taken for germination was lesser in seeds without seed coat (14.76 days) than the the seeds with seed coat (20.59 days). The longest seedling was observed in the seeds with seed coat (2.09 cm) compared to that of seeds without seed coat (1.22 cm). the days taken for budbreak, number of shoots were higher in the MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.5 mgl-1. Comparison between the explants from in vitro and field grown seedlings showed that the time taken for culture response was much earlier in the in vitro derived seedlings. All the explants showed better response in the basal MS medium supplemented with BAP 1.5 mgl-1

Despite new advances in modern medicine, the cultural use of plant in traditional medicine continues from ancient time to this day all over the world. The present research seeks to explore ethnomedicinal plants used by the local people of Nawalparasi district for primary healthcare. Local healers were interviewed regarding the detail uses of plants. When convenient a jungle or forest walk was also conducted, accompanying local healers for plant collection and detailed information gathering. A rich and unique diversity of 94 ethnomedicinal plant species belonging to 49 families under 86 genera were documented. In Nawalparasi, the expense of modern medical treatment combined with the poor economic status of indigenous people and a strong belief in the traditional medicine and traditional medical practitioners are the main reasons for the persistence of the traditional healing system. In addition, we have also documented a lack of continuation and flow of indigenous knowledge from the elders to the younger generation. Youth tend to be attracted by the wave of modernization and do not appreciate the importance of conservation of traditional knowledge. The use of plants in Nawalparasi is an old tradition and the exploration of such unique cultures should be completed thoroughly so that the oral traditions are not lost forever. Immediate conservation and management approaches of valuable medicinal plants with the involvement of local indigenous people of Nawalparasi district will encourage the sustainable conservation of both biological and cultural diversity.Key words: Traditional medicine; Local healers; Healthcare; Conservation; NawalparasiDOI: 10.3126/on.v7i1.2555Our Nature (2009) 7:82-99
