Five varieties of napiergrasses (Pennisetum purpureum) were fractionated botanically into leaf blade, leaf sheath, stem and head. Chemical composition of each of whole napiergrass and their botanical fractions were determined. Correlation, linear and multiple regressions between botanical fractions and nutritive value of varieties of napiergrass were also estimated. All botanical fractions differed due to the effect of variety. Napier Pusha contained the highest proportion of leaf blade and internode, but the lowest proportion of leaf sheath. Napier Hybrid contained the lowest proportion of leaf blade, but highest proportion of node. Consequently, napier Pusha contained the highest (p<0.01) crude protein (CP, 9.0%), but Napier Hybrid had the lowest CP (7.0%). Chemical composition of whole plant differed significantly (p<0.01; except NFE, p>0.05) due to the variety. Not only the whole plant, chemical composition of most botanical fractions of whole plant differed (p<0.05 to 0.01) due to the variety. The intrarelationships between leaf blade and leaf sheath was negative (r=-0.43). Leaf sheath was also negatively correlated to CP, but positively correlated to ash of whole Napier or their botanical fractions. Leaf blade, on the other hand, increases CP but decreases ash content of whole plant or their fractions. These results, therefore, suggest that napiergrass varieties differ widely in terms of botanical fractions and nutritive value, which may have important implications on intake and productivity of animals. Furthermore, napiergrass varieties should be selected for leaf blade only for a better response.

Leucas aspera Link. (Lamiaceae) is an important medicinal plant in indigenous systems of medicine in India and commonly known as 'Thumbai'. It has various ethnomedicinal values as various traditional communities find diverse medicinal properties. It is used as antipyretic, stimulant, expectorant and diaphoretic drug. The present communication deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of whole plant of L. aspera collected from five different geographical zones of the country-Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka, West Bengal and Gujarat. The botanical characters and TLC fingerprint profile of all the samples were quite similar but some variations were observed in physicochemical parameters. However, some microscopical characters and TLC profile can be used as diagnostic characters for identification of L. aspera, for example amphistomachic leaves and two types of trichomes-abundant, non glandular, uniseriate, 1-3 celled and few glandular, 2-5 celled stalk with rounded tip. Presence of some components at $R_fs-0.56$, 0.65 and 0.76 under UV 366 and at $R_fs-0.31$, 0.43, 0.60, 0.76 and 0.82 under visible light after derivetization in TLC profile may also be used as diagnostic character.

In India, Gymnema sylvestre due to the unique property of the plant to antagonize the sweet taste is known as 'Gur-mar'. It has several ethnomedicinal values as various tribals/traditional communities and rural peoples of India find diverse medicinal uses viz. antidiabetic, stomachic, diuretic, and is useful in cough and throat troubles. Besides, it has strong effect on reducing blood sugar. The present communication deals with the detailed pharmacognostical evaluation of the aerial parts of G. sylvestre collected from three places of the country-Varanasi (U.P), Panchmarhi (M.P), Salem (Tami Nadu) and commercial sample procured from local market. The botanical and physico-chemical parameters of all the samples were quite similar though little variations were observed in foaming index, alcohol and water soluble extractives of local sample. The microscopic characteristics of the drug are horse shoe shaped petiole with 3 amphicribal vascular bundles, sieve tubes well developed; anomocytic stomata only on the abaxial surface of the leaf, the fan shaped amphicribal vascular bundle, presence of intraxylary phloem. The TLC fingerprint profile of all the samples was more or less similar only the quantity of some of the compounds varied.

It is an essential prerequisite to use exact botanical origin of crude drugs for a therapeutic effect. The botanical origin also affects the standard for quality control. During the past decades, Korea, China and Japan have developed individually their own official compendia for crude drugs to tune with the times. This study was accomplished to offer basic data and appropriate suggestions to rebuilding the botanical origins of crude drugs in Korean official compendia according to international harmonization. For this, the botanical origin of crude drugs in official compendia of these three countries were compared based on the scientific name internationally accepted. As results, there were five crude drugs defined as plants or animal of which family were different. Fourteen crude drugs showed the botanical origin of different genus and eighty eight of different species. In addition, usage part and collection season differed in twelve and four crude drugs, respectively.

본 연구는 창경궁 내 식물원이 조성되기 이전에 나타난 한국 근대 식물원의 효시를 찾고자 하는 시도이다. 이를 위해 1876년부터 1910년의 개항기에 일본, 러시아, 영국에 파견된 사절단이나 윤치호 및 유길준과 같은 해외 유학생이 작성한 기행문 형식의 글을 실마리 삼아 당시 한국 지식인들이 식물원을 이해하고 전유하는 양상을 읽어내려 하였다. 연구 결과, 식물원에 관한 내용은 1880년대까지만 하더라도 기행문에 등장하지 않았다. 여러 식물원을 안내하려고 했던 일본 측의 계획과 달리 일본에 파견된 조선 사절단들은 식물원을 방문하지 않고 관련 기록도 남기지 않는 등 식물원에 대한 흥미를 보이지 않았다. 반면, 1890년대 이후 러시아, 유럽, 미국 등지에 파견된 사절단이나 유학생들은 식물원에 관심을 보이기 시작하였다. 그들은 식물원을 문명국인 서구의 대표적 문물이자 필수품으로 판단하고 학문 발전과 계몽의 도구로서 국내에 도입하고자 노력하였다. 비록 개항기 한국 지식인들의 식물원의 필요성에 대한 인식 및 주장이 실제 식물원 조성으로 이어지지는 못하였으나, 이들의 기록과 견해는 문명의 표상으로서 식물원의 이미지를 공고히 하였다는 점에서 중요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 한국 근대 식물원 개념의 태동을 구체화하고 1909년 창경궁 내 식물원의 설립을 이해하는 데 밑거름을 제공하는 기초연구로서 의의를 갖는다.

A new physico-chemical method for identifying botanical drugs was investigated. Fifty drugs were chosen from the presently exported botanical drugs and were classified into 12 groups chemotaxonomically. Various extract(either, 50% ethanol and water) of each group were developed with same solvent system by using chromatographic method(TLC) and observed a characteristic pattern of each drugs. This method, therefore, can be applicable to identify each botanical drug out of the combined phyto-preparations.

Chinese crude drug 'Se Sin'(細辛)has been used to cure headache, cough and expectorant. To the botanical origin of 'Se Sin', Zhong-yao-zhi(中葯志) reported Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum. A. sieboldii and A. sieboldii var. seoulensis, and Zhong-yao-da-ci-dian(中葯大辭典) reported Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum and A. sieboldii of Aristolochiaceae. In Korea, this crude drug has been used as a Korean folk remedy for tothache and aromatic. The botanical origin of 'Se Sin' is considered to be Asarum species of Aristolochoaceae. But there has no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Se Sin', we studied on the anatomical characteristics of Asarum species growing wildly in Korea i.e. A. maculatum, A. sieboldii, A. sieboldii var. seoulensis, and of 'Se Sin' from Korea on Korean market. Through our studies, the botanical origin of 'Se Sin' from Korea was proved to be whole plant of Asarum sieboldii and A. sieboldii var. seoulensis.
