Tinctures of Ficus racemosa Linn leaves were prepared by maceration process. 70% alcohol of 21 days maceration showed maximum total solid 2.07% deep greenish brown colour and of 7.1 pH.

We determined how different hydroperiods affected leaf gas exchange characteristics of greenhouse-grown seedlings (2002) and saplings (2003) of the mangrove species Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn., Laguncularia racemosa (L.) Gaertn. f., and Rhizophora mangle L. Hydroperiod treatments included no flooding (unflooded), intermittent flooding (intermittent), and permanent flooding (flooded). Plant...

Results of a two-day reconnaissance survey of kamahi ( Weinmannia racemosa ) dieback on the Kaitake Range, Egmont National Park are reported using an earlier survey conducted in 1978 and 1979 as the baseline.

A novel isoflavone glycoside, peseudobatigenin 7-O-[β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1''''→5''')-O-β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1'''→6'')]-β-d-glucopyranoside, namely sympracemoside (1), was isolated from the aerial parts of Symplocos racemosa along with 15 known flavonoids (2-16). Their structures were characterized by Q-TOF mass, optical rotation, UV, 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopic data. Compounds 3, 9, 16 showed moder...

In recent time there is an increase in global utilization of herbal medicine in the treatment of various decease affecting human. The highly safety profile and low cost of herbal medicines have been reported as the major factors responsible for the increased upsurge in herbal medication. The subject of the phytochemical analysis, phytochemistry or plant chemistry has developed in recent years a...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Three species of the mangrove tree genus Rhizophora are found in the New World and along the west coast of Africa. Of these, R. mangle is the most abundant and has a complex interbreeding relationship with the sympatric R. racemosa and R. harrisonii. The development of additional microsatellite markers would permit paternity analyses and investigation of the h...
