The present communication deals with studies pertaining to field observations recorded on indigenous therapeutic applications of Dactylorhiza hatagirea (D. Don) Soo among the native people inhabiting high mountain areas of Uttarakhand, in western Himalaya. Information gathered from natives of the areas surveyed, indicated its uses to cure various diseases like dysentery, diarrhoea, chronic fever, cough, stomachache, wounds, cuts, burns, fractures, general weakness, etc., and widely used in modern medicine. Therefore, an attempt has been made to assess the medicinal potential of the species both in traditional as well as in modern medicine system. This paper provides the relevant properties of the high value medicinal orchid.

Nectar Source

Abstract: Butterfly diversity and abundance depend on the diversity of foraging resources and nectar characteristics.  Several wild plants of the family Asteraceae often considered as weeds, are important nectar sources for butterflies.  The present communication reports Cirsium wallichii as a key nectar source for a large number of butterfly species during the summer season in Benog Wildlife Sanctuary, Mussoorie, western Himalaya.  Of the total recorded species of butterflies (62), a maximum species (22) belongs to the Nymphalidae family followed by Hesperiidae (13), and Lycaenidae (11) that visits C. wallichii.  Therefore, it is suggested that Cirsium wallichii has an important role in sustaining butterfly diversity.   Keywords: Mussoorie, Lepidoptera, .

There are conflicting reports regarding some fine structural details of arteries from several animal species. Buck denied the existence of a sub-endothelial space, while Karrer and Keech described a space of variable width which separates the endothelium from the underlying internal elastic lamina in aortas of aging rats and mice respectively.The present communication deals with the ultrastrueture of the interface between the endothelial cell layer and the internal elastic lamina as observed in carotid arteries from rabbits of varying ages.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.

Convergent Beam

The purpose in obtaining zone axis pattern map (zap map) from a given material is to provide a quick and reliable tool to identify cristaline phases, and crystallographic directions, even in small particles. Bend contours patterns and Kossel lines patterns maps from Zr single crystal in the [0001] direction have been presented previously. In the present communication convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) zap map of Zr will be shown. CBED patterns were obtained using a Philips microscope model EM300, which was set up to carry out this technique. Convergent objective upper pole piece for STEM and some electronic modifications in the lens circuits were required, furthermore the microscope was carefully cleaned and it was operated at a vacuum eminently good.CBED patterns in the Zr zap map consist of zero layer disks, showing fine details within them which correspond to intersecting set of higher order Laue zone (HOLZ) deficiency lines.
