Subject: Do Invasive Species have the Medicinal Potential ?
Keywords: Invasive species, medicinal potential
Abstract: The reported twenty-two invasive species representing Asteraceae (9 plant specimen) Malvaceae (2 plant specimens) Euphorbiaceae (2 plant specimens), Solanaceae (2 plant specimens) and one species each in Verbenaceae and Oxalidaceae are studied in order to understand the medicinal uses.
The information obtained from the survey revealed that these invasive species were in use for different purposes such as Lantana camara L (Family -verbinaceae) used as anti-opest , Crassocephalum crepidiodes (Benth) S. Moore and Sonchus oleraceus L for controlling blood sugar and Drymaria cordata (L) Eildenow ex Schultes and Oxalis Corniculata L for controlling anti-tumurous growth.
Interestingly, the trend of hill people found using Rumex nepalensis Spreng. and Pilea microphylla (L) Liebmann, for settling the dislocated bones, likewise, another plant specimen, Ageratina Adenophora (Sprengel) King and Robinson reported treating neurological disorder.
Thus, the paper deals the medicinal potentials of the plant specimens whether the invasive specimens possess the commercial viability.

Subject: Biochemical changes during ripening of ker fruits from arid zone
Keywords: Biochemical changes, ker fruits, arid zone
Abstract: Capparis decidua is an important wild edible fruit found in arid zone of Rajasthan. During adverse climatic condition when fresh vegetables are not easily available, the green immature ker frits, provide all the necessary supplements to the diet of rural people living in the desert. These berries are rich in protein, carbohydrates, fats and minerals and used by either pickling or in form of a Decious vegetable curry. Quality of any fruit depends on various Physico-biochemical changes, which occur during its growth, sugar, protein and fat during development and ripening of Capparis decidua and hen evaluated for chemical parameters. Initially as the fruit matured these parameters increased, but there was a dip in their content at a certain stage and then they increased again as the ripening proceeded. Variation of these parameters in different fruiting periods showed that the pril season fruits were rich in sugar (10.83%) hence less bitter. Protein was maximum in July (13.56%) fruits and seeds of winter season fruits were rich in fatty oil (19.15%).Analysis of variance revealed these changes were significant at P<5%. As these parameters are important determinants of eating quality, the rural inhabitants can enhance their livelihood by harvesting these fruits at proper time and selling them in the market.

Keywords: Morphological, Element, parameters, Garhwal, Himalayan, Paeonia emodi, medicinal plant
Abstract: Paeonia emodi (Paeoniacea family) is an important wild herbaceous plant widely used in traditional and modern system of medicines to cure various ailments like diabetes, uterine diseases, blood purifier, colic, dropsy and epilepsy. The present study deals with morphological, elemental and soil chemical characteristics of P. emodi samples collected from different sites of Garhwal Himalaya. The plant height was highest (29.56 cm) in Gwaldam (GD) while the numbers of leaves were maximum (4.80) in Triyuginarayan (TN) population. Above ground fresh and dry weight was maximum in Pothivasa (PV) and Gwaldam populations (18.79 and 5.46 g, respectively).Highest below ground fresh weight (12.80 g) and dry weight (3.84 g) was recorded in Gwaldam and Randhar Bangar (RB) population respectively. The elemental analysis revealed the higher concentration of copper (0.612 mg/l) and iron (6.059 mg/l) in Gwaldam population, while magnesium (1.010 mg/L) and manganese (2.083 mg/L) detected higher in Pothivasa and Randhar Bangar populations respectively. The findings suggested that the population with higher fresh and dry weight can be targeted to obtain higher biomass of an elite population, while population with high elemental value can be used to obtain quality products with maximum health benefits. Further, the anti-diabetic property of magnesium has proved the regular usefulness of P. emodi. In addition, the presence of toxic element like lead in low concentration also supported safe and regular use of P. emodi.

Subject: Conservation Strategy for Endangered Medicinal Plant - Black Turmeric (Curcuma caesia)
Keywords: Black turmeric, conservation, planting material, single bud rhizome, endangered spp
Abstract: Black turmeric (Curcuma caesia Roxb) is commonly known as kali haldi and it belongs to the family Zingiberaceae. The plant has a characteristic rhizome flesh of bluish black colour with pungent smell and hot bitter taste. The crop its gaining popularity in nowadays due to its anticancerous property and short supply from the traditional forest areas. It is widely used as an important medicine to cure cancer in Chinese medicine. Its availability in forest area has continuously declined and the species needs to be restoring in non-conventional forest areas especially on farmer's field. It is propagated through rhizomes and large quantity of rhizome is required because of its poor vegetative propagation efficiency. Rhizomes are susceptible to diseases that cause tissue senescence and degeneration during storage and cultivation. It is difficult to propagate through seed because of poor flowering and inability to seed set. The planting material is not chiefly available for commercial cultivation. To overcome this problem, planting material produced from single bud rhizome of black turmeric under shade net condition will be planted instead of rhizomes. The main objective of this paper is to standardize the growing media for mass multiplication of lack turmeric. Among the various treatments, rhizome with single bud planted in a growing media of cocopeat+vermicompost +Pseudomonas fluorescence give better crop establishment (95.99 percent). Hence, rapid multiplication of black turmeric through single bud rhizome has been considered as the conservation strategy for this endangered medicinal plant.

Keywords: Ashtavarga, Temperate Forest, Niches, Threatened, Conservation, Himalaya
Abstract: India's ethno medicinal heritage is like old gold, which has been augmented by the early Ayurvedic wonder healers. Numerous plants and plant groups like Dashamool and Ashtavarga, have mention in the ancient scriptures and the compendiums of the once famous Indian traditional medicine, like the Charaka Samhita and Susruta Samhita. All the plants belonging to the Ashtavarga group have their natural habitats in the temperate forests of Himachal Pradesh. Moreover, the district o Shimla has exacting niches for each one of them. Their importance has resulted in over-exploitation in the past and as consequence all of them are threatened and are fighting a losing battle of r survival. This study aim at identification, distribution and status of the Ashtavarga group of medicinal plants. The declining and threatened population of this group of plants is resulting in substitution and adulteration with other plants. The valuable information obtained during this study will be helpful for immediate action and effective conservation efforts required in future.

Abstract: Oroxyulum indicum is an important medicinal plant, native to India and distributed throughout the country up to an altitude of 1200 m and found mainly in ravine and moist places in the forests. It is a high demand medicinal plant that has immense importance in many Ayurvedic formulations and preparations. The species, once found to be spread throughout the country, has now listed amongst endangered species in many parts of the country. Due to the indiscriminate collection, overexploitation and uprooting of whole plant bearing roots, gradual depletion of this valuable tree has been seen from its natural habitat. It is thus considered pertinent to conserve the germplasm of this commercially important medicinal species. The present study was, therefore, undertaken for mapping of the distribution, quantification and screening of the superior quality germplasms on the basis of principle active constituents of O. indicum in different forest division of Haryana. Four superior quality germplasms were screened out on the basis of active constituents having higher composition of Oroxylin-A, Baicalein and Chrysin, and these have been recommended for further multiplication, conservation and producing quality planting stock for Haryana Forest Department.

Abstract: If one can say that there is an indigenous religion, or as it is said "a way of Life" for India, then the search for the same ends at Hinduism. India was formerly addressed by the Western world as "Hind" which meant 'the land on the other side of the Indus River'. Over time this grew int on a culture, addressed as Hinduism. 'Santana Dharma' principle is that it is not limited to humans alone. It is said to be that quality that unites all beings with the universe and ultimately to God-the original source of their existence. It is based on the belief that every religion aims to corelate God, humanity and nature.

Abstract: Trade and environment are two spheres which are linked not by choice, but by fact. Trade in most goods or services ends up affecting the environment in one way or the other, creating clashes between trade officials and environmentalists. For free traders, the world "protection" represents the consumers evil. For environmentalists it is the ultimate good. Of course, for the trade community," protection" conjures up dark images of Smoot and Hawley, while the environmental camp sees clear nonmainstream, lush green forests, and piercing blue skies.

The toxic tort litigations are not novel in India since it can be traced back to the dark days of Bhopal, a toxic catastrophe witnessed by the whole world. Environmental justice categorically insists the legal system to scrutinize the claims for personal injury arising within its domain, especially the claims of poor and downrodden class of people.
