All these ornamental trees show diversity in their habitat, floral structure, flowering period, etc. In the present investigation, extensive field surveys were conducted in the different localities of Amravati district during 2005-2011containing description, distribution, origin, vegetative and flowering period of 25 ornamental trees species from 19 families with their photographs and preserved as Herbaria
Qualitative phytochemical screening of indian witchweed: Striga asiatica (L.) O. Ktze - an unexplored medicinal parasitic plant
Many herbal remedies have been employed in various medical systems for the treatment of different diseases. The parasitic plant Striga asiatica (L.) O. Ktze commonly known as witch weed belongs to family Scrophulariaceae has been used in different system of traditional medicine for curing various diseases and ailments of human beings. The present study deals with the qualitative phytochemical screening of Striga asiatica (L.) O. Ktze of whole plant powder in six different extracts (i.e. petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and water). The extracts showed the prominently presence of phytoconstituents like carbohydrates, cardiac glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannin, phenolics, steroids, coumarins and saponin. However anthroquinone glycosides and quinone are totally absent in all extracts. Most of the phytoconstituents from Striga asiatica (L.) O. Ktze lacks the reports of pharmacological activities, which support its further pharmacological studies
Preliminary phytochemical investigation of Combretum albidum G. Don; An ignored medicinally important liana.
Day by day faith of people on herbal medicine is increases due to the side effect of synthetic drugs, and results into people started looking back to the traditional knowledge of plant for their health care in day to day life. Certain local practitioner, traditional healers uses the decoction of the fruit of Combretum albidum G. Don in the treatment of diarrhoea and dysentery, stem barks used in jaundice. So the present study deals with preliminary phytochemical analysis of stem, leaf, flower and fruit using six different solvent. It needful helps for the scientific documentation and standardization of row plant material used in medicine and its worldwide acceptance. 
Studies on antibacterial activity of some plant extracts
The antibacterial activity of the extracts of Melia azedarch (L), Spilanthes paniculata (L, f), Oxalis Corniculata, Colocassic esculenta (L), and Hyptis suaveolens (L) were evaluated against five bacteria isolated from semen samples (E. coli., S. aureus, P. vulgaris, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis). These plants are used in medicine to treat infections of microbial origin
Phytochemical screening of some Euphorbiaceae members
The present investigation includes the Phytochemical screening of some medicinally important plants from the family Euphorbiaceae. All the members studied are exotic but naturalized except Ricinnus communis L. which is commercially cultivated in India. Plant extracts were prepared in various solvents and phytochemically they were tested in the solvent where the good extraction or active extraction observed, Phytochemical tests were carried out specially for screening secondary metabolites from the selected exotic medicinal plants from family Euphorbiaceae. Six genera and seven species of Euphorbiaceae were phytochemically analyzed to find secondary metabolites. Â
The chiral and flavour projection of Dirac-Kahler fermions in the geometric discretization
It is shown that an exact chiral symmetry can be described for Dirac-Kahler
fermions using the two complexes of the geometric discretization. This
principle is extended to describe exact flavour projection and it is shown that
this necessitates the introduction of a new operator and two new structures of
complex. To describe simultaneous chiral and flavour projection, eight
complexes are needed in all and it is shown that projection leaves a single
flavour of chiral field on each.Comment: v2: 17 pages, Latex. 5 images eps. Added references, reformatted and
