Hemidesmus Indicus
''Hemidesmus indicus'', Indian sarsaparilla is a species of plant found in South Asia. It occurs over the greater part of India, from the upper Gangetic plain eastwards to Assam and in some places in central, western and South India. The root is a substitute for sarsaparilla (the dried root of the tropical species of ''Smilax'', Smilacaceae; in India ''Smilax aspera'' L., and ''Smilax ovalifolia'' Roxb.). It should be distinguished from Mexican Sarsaparilla ''Smilax'' ''aristolochiifolia'' Mill. and Jamaican Sarsaparilla ''Smilax ornata'' Hook.f.. Names In India, it is called ''ananthamoola'', also known locally in Southern India as ''naruneendi'' or ''nannari''. Description It is a slender, twining, sometimes prostrate or semi-erect shrub. Roots are woody and aromatic. The stem is numerous, slender, terete, thickened at the nodes. The leaves are opposite, short-petioled, very variable, elliptic-oblong to linear-lanceolate. The flowers are greenish outside, purplish inside ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Apocynaceae
Apocynaceae (from ''Apocynum'', Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, because some taxa were used as dog poison Members of the family are native to the European, Asian, African, Australian, and American tropics or subtropics, with some temperate members. The former family Asclepiadaceae (now known as Asclepiadoideae) is considered a subfamily of Apocynaceae and contains 348 genera. A list of Apocynaceae genera may be found here. Many species are tall trees found in tropical forests, but some grow in tropical dry (xeric) environments. Also perennial herbs from temperate zones occur. Many of these plants have milky latex, and many species are poisonous if ingested, the family being rich in genera containing alkaloids and cardiac glycosides, those containing the latter often finding use as arrow poisons. Some genera of Apocynaceae, such as '' Adenium'', bleed clea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
