This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant activity (total antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities) of Saraca indica and Pterospermum acerifolium leaves and roots commercially available in the Uttarakhand. The extracts were prepared with ethanol only. The 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays were used to determine antioxidant properties of Saraca indica and Pterospermum acer...

SNPs from nrDNA and cp trnC-trnD were analyzed from J. indica, J. recurva and Rushforth's juniper from Bhutan and compared with previous terpene and RAPD data. These data, taken together, show that Rushforth's juniper is allied, but distinct from J. indica and a new variety is named: J. indica var. rushforthiana R. P. Adams from Bhutan.
