The macroscopic and microscopic characters of the leaf of Calotropis gigantea R. Br. ex Ait. which is used in the indigenous system of medicine are described. Three layers of closely packed palisade cells, multicellular thin walled trichomes and presence of half stomata in the lower epidermis besides the rubiaceous type of stomata, absence of tannin and presence of fats and oils are the chief diagnostic characters.- Pharmacognostic Studies on the Stem Bark of Annona reticulata Linn.

The microscopic and microscopic characters of the stem bark of Annona reticulata Linn. are described. Groups of lignified phloem fibres with narrow lumen which seperate the phloem parenchyma in blocks, lignified stone cells, large prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate and simple as well as compound starch grains the latter with 2 to 4 components are the chief diagnostic characters.- Pharmacognostic Studies on the Leaf of Cassia sophera Linn

The macroscopic and microscopic studies of the leaves of Gassia sophera Linn, are made. Unicellular pointed-head trichomes present throughout the margin of the leaves, rosette crystals of calcium oxalate and rubiaceous stomata present throughout the leaves are the chief diagnostic characters.- Pharmacognostic Studies on the Stem Bark of Psidium guajava Linn

The macroscopic and microscopic characters of the stem bark of Psidium guajava Linn, are described. Due to earlier defoliation of the previous cork layers the whole bark seems to consist of secondary phloem topped by cork cells. Absence of cortical tissue isone of the chief diagnostic characters. The bark is characterised by the presence of prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate in smaller phloem parenchyma cells, fusiform medullary ray cells terminated by tapering apical cells and absence of cortical and phloem fibres.- Comparative Pharmacognostic Studies on the Stem Bark of Sesbania sesban (L.)

A comparative study of the macroscopic and microscopic characters of the stem bark of Sesbania sesban (L.) Merr. and Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir is made. The table shows the differences in the macroscopical and microscopical characters of the two barks and the pharmacognostic characters of the powders in order to identify the two barks easily and properly when they are found in a mixed-up condition.- Pharmacognostic Studies on the Stem Bark of Streblus asper Lour.

The macroscopic and microscopic studies of the stem bark of Streblus asper Lour. are made. Macroscopic characters reveal that the outer surface of the bark has got longitudinal wrinkles with transverse channels. On drying the bark can be easily separated into two layers; the outer hard and the inner fibrous layer. Two types of stone cells, phloem fibres with broad lumen and large prismatic crystals of calcium oxalate are the chief diagnostic characters.- Pharmacognostic Studies on the Genus Solanum Linn.

The paper deals with thirtynine species of medicinal plants collected from northern and middle parts of the district 24-Parganas in West Bengal. The areas covered in the survey were Parmadan forest near Bongaon, Gobardanga, Bira, Joypul, Duttapuhr, Basirhat, Taki, Hasnabad and Hingalganj. The crude drugs collected from these plants have been exhibited in the Crude Drug Museum of the Pharmacognosy Section, Botanical Survey of India, Howrah after proper drying and identification.- Less Known Uses of some Plants from the Tribal Areas of Orissa

Ethnobotanical studies of Orissa revealed that most of the uses of plants by the tribals are not usually known to the other people. The present paper therefore deals with such uses of thirty eight plants collected during ethnobotanical tours in Orissa State.- Ethnobotanical Uses of Herbaria

The paper deals with 30 selected species of plants e.g. Costus speciosus (Keen.) Sm., Drynaria quercifolia (L.) J. Sm., Melastoma malabathricum L., Mimosa pudica L., Pedilanthus tithymaloides (L.) Poit., Premna latifolia Roxb., Solanum viarum Dunal, Thelypteris arida (D. Don) Morton, etc. which are used as medicine by some of the tribals like Mech, Rabha and Oraon of the Jalpaiguri District of West Bengal in their traditional system of treatment.
Ethnobotanical field study reveals some interesting information about mode of their uses of plants in various ailments either single or in combination with other plant parts. It has been observed that though these tribes are living under same environment and using the same species of plants for curing disease, their Prescriptions are quite different. This indicates that the tribes are still retaining their own tradition so far as treatments are concerned.
