Acacia catechu

used for agricultural implements and wheels. Spent chips left over after extraction of katha and cutch can be used for the manufacture of hardboards. Tannin or dyestuff: cutch, which is marketed as a solid extract, is isolated from the heartwood. Catechu extract is also used for dyeing silk, cotton, canvas, paper and leather to a dark-brownish color. Gum or resin: The bark exudes a light gum of very good quality and is one of the best substitutes for gum Arabic (Singh and Lal,

Results and Discussion: Discussion of finding of Ag+ and AOA Treatments: There were five varying concentrations of Ag+ and AOA concentrations in which one carnation was placed in one unique concentrated solution. After 14 days, the weight of the caranations and the progress of senescence were measured. Difference in Weight of Carnations for Varying Ag+ and AOA Treatments: As the concentration of Ag+ increased, the average weight of the flowers, though it has fluctuated and changed for each concentration

certain areas detrimentally affect biodiversity especially faunal and floral Species of Conservational Concern (SCC), water sources, land use and productivity (Mugido et al., 2014). Some of the woody species include but not limit to Acacia mearnsii (Black Wattle), Acacia saligna, Eucalyptus sp. These species have a total evaporation (TE) of 895 mm in the Western Cape. The native and indigenous vegetation, in contrast, have an TE of 520 mm (fynbos) and TE of 575 mm (thickets), this indicates that AIPs

Biodiversity is major component of sustainability, and it is defined as the “variety of genes, organisms, species, and ecosystems” in a given area or on the planet as a whole (Miller and Spoolman 2015, 5). Urban spaces typically lack biodiversity due to a variety of factors that cause the destruction of ecosystems, such as replacing established ecosystems with large lawns, parking lots, buildings, and highways. When these well-established, high-functioning ecosystems are disturbed, we eliminate the

Abstract Distribution patterns of Acacia saligna are quite diverse in South Africa especially taking under consideration that they do not have immediate threats that inhibit their spread. However, this species occurs in very different environmental gradients, as it can occur from a wet habitat/area to a bare rock surface that is a very dry habitat. Due to such observations for the distribution of this species a question is imposed in this paper as to how do traits vary along environmental gradients

Step by step, breath after heavy breath, Mikey and I hiked our way up the Maka’ula ‘O’oma trail. It was a bit embarrassing that after lifting weights for the preceding four months we were still winded by the moderate size hill. We took a break half way up but this was no wasted break. I found an opening off the path and noticed a Koa tree about three feet high. Then I turned to Mikey and said, “this is the reason we came up here.” “Is that a Koa tree?” I remember him asking before I explained to

Eucalyptus Camaldulensis (see image 6), commonly known as River red gums is one of the 800 species of the genus Eucalyptus. River red gums are the most populous of the eucalyptus genus (see image 8) commonly found near the Murrumbidgee River and the Darling River. The species Eucalyptus Camaldulensis has adapted well to Australia’s detrimental environment consisting of periods of flooding, drought and fires. It has a range of weapons in its arsenal that allows it to withstand the pressures of the

Dehradun : Dehradun is located in the Doon Valley in the foothills of the Himalayas nestled between two of India 's mightiest rivers - the Ganges on the east and the Yamuna on the west. The Dehradun district has various types of physical geography from Himalayan Mountains to Plains. Raiwala is the lowest point at 315 meters above sea level, and the highest points are within the Tiuni hills, rising to 3700 m above sea level. The Doon valley has the Terai and Bhabar forests within it as well as the

What is Pharmacognosy? • Pharmacognosy is the investigation of medicines got from common assets or natural resources. It is characterized as;  "The compound's investigation, physical and organic properties of medications, medications substances or medications substances of common root and also the search of new drug from normal starting point."  "Pharmacognosy" is gotten from a Greek word "Pharmakon" (medication) and "gnosis" (learning). The term  "Pharmacognosy" was utilized for the first

Zhang ,Jian Xin (2005) summarized that China have the richest woody plants of 95 families,338 genera and 1128 species. Kucuk and Erturk (2013) surveyed Protected Areas in Turkey reported that flora and fauna are very rich with a high endemism and wider genetic diversity with more than 90000 species including flora and fauna which cover approximately 9500 vascular plants, 4000 lower plants. Shrestha (2003) presented an appraisal report on Oaks in Himalayan region which are evergreen, mostly
