Bamboo Stem

Bamboo is most versatile group of plants, are evergreen perennial flowering plants of the grass family panacea and sub family Bambusoideae. The stem of bamboo is hollow ,vascular bundle is scattered and woody xylem is absent.Bamboo are one of the fastest growing plant on Earth with reported rate up to 910 mm (36 in) in 24 hours (Guinness World record 2007).However the growth of the plant depends on local soil and climatic condition as well as the species of the plant.The spread mainly through rhizomes the two types patterns of growth of bamboo are clumping in running. Clamping growth with short rhizomes and tend to spread slowly. Running bamboo grow fast with the help of underground rhizomes.Unlike Timber bamboo is self regenerating natural resources. Bamboo grow fast and matures early. The output of bamboo plantation is great and the use of bamboo stem is wide.

Amaranthaceae, a common family of flowering plants distributed worldwide, also shows its presence in Jharkhand. Jharkhand have some of the species which are wild growing and are considered as weeds. The people of Munda tribe have a rich traditional knowledge of utilizing these weeds as edibles and for medicines. This paper deals with the study and documentation traditional knowledge of Mundas, which resulted in documentation of seven wild growing underutilized Amaranthaceae species. This type of documentation work is very important in the present century where the natural resources and their related knowledge are depleting due to unawareness about their importance and utilities.

Day By Day

The use of medicinal plants for treatment, cure and prevention of diseases has been described by many people since time immemorial. Because of this, the scientific interests have emerged, making it necessary to realize ethnobotanical surveys of plants species, which is important for subsequent phytochemical and pharmacological bio prospections. This paper deals with the indigenous uses of 44 flowering plants of Laspur Valley, District Chitral. These species distributed in 26 families and 42 genera. Asteraceae was the largest family with 6 species (14.89%), followed by Rosaceae with 4(8.51%) species. In the rest of families, less than 3 species (6.38%) per family were recorded. Leaves of 6 plants were used for medicinal purposes. Similarly, roots of 24 species and fruit / flowers of 6 species were used, while 24 species were used as whole plant and seed of six were used for different purposes. About 30 species were as fodder, 26 medicinal purposes, 7 for hatching, 7 as fire wood, 5 as timber, 5 as vegetable, 3 fencing, 3 furniture 5 agricultural purposes while 4 used for making handy craft instrument. Further, the study is required to quantify the availability of plants which are important traditionally for various purposes. The pressure on natural resources increases day by day which further led the local floral diversity to destruction. The conservation strategies must be implemented in the study area to save the God gifted natural wealth.
