This study investigates the influence of extraction system on the extractability of polyphenol compounds and antioxidant activity of various medicinal plants. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and total polyphenol content of 25 Bulgarian medicinal plants subjected to water or 80 % acetone extractions were investigated and compared. The type of extragent significantly influenced the efficiency of the polyphenol extraction and the antioxidant activity. In all cases ORAC results and total polyphenol content were higher for acetone extraction than for water extraction. The acetone extract of peppermint had the highest ORAC value - 2917 µmol Trolox equivalent (TE)/g dry weight (DW) and polyphenol content - 20216 mg/100 g DW. For water extraction thyme exhibited the highest ORAC antioxidant activity - 1434 µmol TE/g DW. There was a significant linear correlation between the concentration of total polyphenols and ORAC in the investigated medicinal plants. It can be concluded that the solvent used affects significantly the polyphenol content and the antioxidant activity of the extract and therefore it is recommended to use more than one extraction system for better assessment of the antioxidant activity of natural products. Several of the investigated herbs contain substantial amounts of free radical scavengers and can serve as a potential source of natural antioxidants for medicinal and commercial uses.

An Ethnobotanical (EBot) survey was undertaken to collect information from local people about the use of medicinal plants (MPs) in Dimapur district of Nagaland, and local people use certain folklore medicinal plants for the treatment of various ailments and diseases. The aboriginal Naga tribes have a rich knowledge, based on their natural resources, of indigenous folk medicine. Their beliefs and folk practices are based on past experience with various diseases and their cures. The significant of the study is that certain plants are believed to have multi-chemical properties in healing and curing as it differs from other neighbouring communities. This paper highlights the ethnomedicinal (EMed) uses of 63 different species of plants used by the different tribe.

Moringa oleifera (MO) Lam. is a medicinal plant that has crossed tribal, provincial and national boundaries in recent times, with its use and domestication cutting across different ethnic and geographical borders of the world in general and Nigeria in particular. In view of this observation, this present study was aimed at examining the contributing factors to the high diversity of this much prized economic and medicinal species in Nigerian gardens. The survey was conducted among 17 populations, from which a total of One Hundred and Four respondents were purposively drawn from the wards that make-up the Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State. The purposive technique allowed at least 6 individual respondents to be randomly selected from each ward, based on their interest in home gardening, and their attached importance, domestication and accessibility to MO. The approach thus provided the opportunity to obtain an understanding of its medicinal importance, side effects and possible need for conservation. The respondents, who are of different backgrounds, were interviewed using semi-structured questions. Data collected were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively using descriptive statistics. The results of the study revealed that 50% of the respondents were home gardeners, while 40% are without gardens, although 80% showed the desire to own same. Also, 80% believed home gardens should provide food (Vegetables, spices and fruits etc.) and herbs (health-care). Over 95% of respondents claimed to have information about or cultivated Moringa, and 89% of them agreed to the important roles of agencies, as well as the media (radio, newspapers, etc.) in the dissemination of relevant information about this species. Moreover, close to 90% also have access to the plant from different sources: own garden (25%), friends’ or neighbors’ garden (44.2%) or market (13.5%), while 13.5% patronize all these sources. The part(s) mostly used are leaves & flowers (52.9%), followed by all parts (21.2%) and pods (seeds) (19%), while stem and bark are least employed (1.9%). In addition, a majority of respondents claimed that Moringa has solved some of their health concerns (64%) and thus, recommended it to someone or vice-versa (80%) with 65% claiming, no side effects. Consequently, many widely endorsed the conservation of MO and other MAPs (80%), with over 60% alluding to individuals, and government as major players in this responsibility. We conclude, therefore, that gardens, particularly home-based, play a valuable role in the conservation of not only the plant emphasized in this study, but many other useful plant species, most especially medicinals, that have become the cornerstone of health delivery in most developing nations. This study, therefore strongly recommends the strengthening of this strategy.

Plants of the genus Lycoris in Japan are of importance in culture and religion; they are used as ornamental and medicinal plants. Two species are particularly attractive: Lycoris aurea with yellow flowers and Lycoris radiata with red flowers. Both species show a wide biological activity mainly due to the high content of alkaloids. The aim of the study was to compare the mineral composition of Lycoris aurea and Lycoris radiata bulbs. The analyses were carried out on bulbs obtained after the end of flowering. There were significant differences between the tested species in the content of both macronutrients and micronutrients. The bulbs of Lycoris radiata contained significantly more nitrogen, potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese and iron compared to Lycoris aurea bulbs. In turn, more boron was found in Lycoris aurea bulbs. There were no differences between species in terms of phosphorus, calcium and copper contents in the bulbs. In summary, both species have different nutritional requirements. Lycoris aurea bulbs have the highest nitrogen and magnesium content, while Lycoris radiata bulbs contain the highest amounts of nitrogen and potassium. Bulbs of both species are a rich source of iron and zinc.

Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) is a very destructive pest of stored maize, accounting for about 15 – 25 % of loss, and sometimes 100% in severe infestation. Synthetic pesticide is often the first step of control, which is often costly, scarce, detrimental to the environment and human health. As a result, more environmentally friend options like the use of botanicals are encouraged, in line with the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals. The purpose of this study was to assess how fast to kill and how hazardous are four medicinal plant powders on maize weevil. The study was conducted in June-July, 2020 in the Food Science laboratory of Catholic University of Cameroon, Bamenda. Plant powders of pawpaw Carica papaya seeds, cypress Cupressus macrocarpa leaves, piper Piper nigrum seeds and a control (no-input) were assessed. Mortality was observed every 48 hr for 192 hr (8 days). The data was subjected to survival analysis using SPSS ver. 23. The proportion of Event (mortality) and Censored (no mortality) at varied amongst treatment with Event in piper significantly higher ((χ2 = 26.2, df = 7, P < 0.001) than Censored, and the reverse was the case for the other treatments. Only the piper treatment had 50% lethal time (LT50) of 144 hr. The Kaplan-Meier survival probability curve of piper had many sharp drops unlike the flat curves for control and pawpaw. Hazard ratios were 0.553, 2.47and 0.819 for pawpaw, piper and cypress, respectively. We proposed the possibility of exploring the angle formed between the line linking both ends of the survival curve and the horizontal line linking the end of the survival curve and the y-axis to assess the degree of hazardousness. The findings of this study revealed that piper powder killed the maize weevil very fast and was also the most hazardous treatment. We strongly recommend the integration of piper seed powder in the management of stored maize in order to prolong the shelve life, and maintain the quality and quantity of stored maize.

The study is devoted to the identification of medicinal plants and fungi species which are enlisted in an 18th-century Polish medical help-book entitled Compendium medicum auctum. This 1st part of the study contains entries from A to K, the second part (to be released) will entail the remaining entries L–Z, the discussion and conclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subject of the critical study is the list of medicinal plants and fungi names from the 7th edition issued 1752 in Częstochowa. The authorship of the work is still uncertain (frater Apolinary Wieczorkowicz or a physician Maciej Daniłkowicz). Species of medicinal plants and fungi (with lichens) are listed in one of the initial captions (pages 19 to 29). The plants were indentified on the grounds of their 18th-century Polish and pre-Linnaean Latin names. We used 18th- and 19thcentury monographs and dictionaries on materia medica and vernacular names of plants. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. The list of medicinal plants and fungi in the Compendium contains 288 entries together with 8 cross-references and those entries which concern the same repeated species. Some names can hardly be appended to an individual plant species. The studied work enumerates both local (native) i.e. wild growing plants (they prevail in the list), species cultivated in fields and in gardens (including ornamentals), as well as some exotic, imported plants. Compendium medicum enlists a relatively great deal of exotic species; most of them are south-European, Mediterranean ones, a few species originate from the West Europe. The number of errors and obscurities in the list is really large. These mistakes reveal that the author (or compiler) had no sufficient botanical education nor knowledge.

Praca poświęcona jest identyfikacji gatunków roślin leczniczych wymienionych w polskim poradniku medycznym pt. Compendium medicum auctum. W części I zestawiono hasła A–K, w części drugiej – pozostałe hasła (L–Z), dyskusję i wnioski. MATERIAŁ I METODY Krytycznie opracowano wykaz roślin i grzybów leczniczych na podstawie egzemplarza Compendium medicum auctum wydanego w Częstochowie w 1752 r. (wydanie 7.). Autorstwo dzieła jest wciąż wątpliwe (brat Apolinary Wieczorkowicz lub lekarz Maciej Daniłkowicz). Gatunki roślin i grzybów (w tym porostów) leczniczych są zestawione w jednym z początkowych rozdziałów (strony 19 do 29). Rozpoznano je na podstawie ich XVIIIwiecznych przedlinneuszowskich nazw łacińskich i polskich posługując się opracowaniami z zakresu XVIII- i XIX-wiecznej farmakognozji oraz słownikami nazw roślin z podobnego okresu. WYNIKI I WNIOSKI Lista roślin i grzybów leczniczych w Compendium liczy 288 pozycji wraz z 8 odsyłaczami oraz hasłami dotyczącymi powtarzających się gatunków. Nie wszystkie nazwy pozwalają w sposób pewny zidentyfikować gatunek rośliny. Dzieło zawiera zarówno krajowe rośliny dziko rosnące (stanowią większość w spisie), gatunki uprawne lub hodowane w ogrodach, w tym ozdobne, a także rośliny bądź surowce obce, importowane. Compendium medicum wymienia stosunkowo dużo roślin egzotycznych. Większość roślin egzotycznych to gatunki południowoeuropejskie, śródziemnomorskie; kilka pochodzi z zachodniej Europy. Znaczna liczba błędów i niejasności w spisie roślin świadczy, że zestawienie wykonał autor (kompilator) nieposiadający wymaganej wiedzy botanicznej.

INTRODUCTION The study areas: three recreation centres – Jezioro Łysina, Stare Błotne and Rów Murckowski have undergone extensive change as a result of intense long-term activity of the mining (mainly coal mining) industry. The paper presents an overview of the three recreation centres mentioned, including their geographical location, administrative data, historical information, environmental characteristics and up-to-date plant distribution and the characteristics of the vegetation of the study areas situated in the centre of Górnośląski Okręg Przemysłowy (GOP – Upper Silesian Industry Area) MATERIAL AND METHODS The paper includes a list of species based on studies of vegetation carried out in vegetation seasons 2005 and 2006 in the study areas and on literature studies concerning environmental characteristics of the study area and the studies of vascular flora to date. A multi-aspect statistical analysis concerning the vascular fl ora has been carried out and the results have been presented in the form of histograms. RESULTS In the study areas the occurrence of 406 vascular plant species Tracheophyta has been confi rmed, among which 338 species have medicinal properties and 142 are used in homeopathy. 11 species are protected by law (4 strictly and 7 partly protected). CONCLUSIONS The vegetation of the study areas abounds in various species, with a considerable percentage of medicinal plants. Semi-natural habitats modifi ed by industrial activity within the studied recreation centres in the centre of Górnośląski Okręg Przemysłowy are also crucial for the protection of the precious species (gene resources), including a numerous group of medicinal plants and plants protected by law.

WSTĘP Badane tereny: trzech ośrodków rekreacyjno-wypoczynkowych - „Jezioro Łysina”, „Stawy Błotne” i „Rów Murckowski” uległy znacznemu przekształceniu w efekcie wieloletniej, intensywnej działalności przemysłu wydobywczego, zwłaszcza górnictwa węglowego. W artykule przedstawiono ogólną charakterystykę trzech badanych ośrodków rekreacyjnowypoczynkowych, która obejmuje ich lokalizację fizyczno-geograficzną i administracyjną, rys historyczny, walory ogólnoprzyrodnicze oraz obraz aktualnych stosunków florystycznych i charakterystykę specyfiki szaty roślinnej na badanych stanowiskach, położonych w centralnych rejonach Górnośląskiego Okregu Przemysłowego(GOP). MATERIAŁ I METODY Praca zawiera wykaz gatunków roślin, który jest wynikiem badań florystycznych przeprowadzonych w sezonach wegetacyjnych w 2005 i 2006 roku na omawianych terenach rekreacyjnych oraz studiów literaturowych, dotyczących ogólnoprzyrodniczej charakterystyki tych terenów oraz dotychczasowego stanu zbadania gatunków flory naczyniowej. Przeprowadzono wieloaspektową analizę statystyczną danych, które dotyczą opisanej flory naczyniowej oraz uzyskanych wyników liczbowych, które przedstawiono w postaci histogramów. WYNIKI Na badanych obszarach stwierdzono występowanie 406 gatunków roślin naczyniowych Tracheophyta, w tym 338 gatunków wykazujących właściwości lecznicze i 142 stosowane w homeopatii. Wśród nich jest 11 gatunków objętych ochroną prawną, z czego 4 podlegają ochronie ścisłej, a 7 - częściowej. WNIOSKI Flora badanych terenów odznacza się znacznym bogactwem gatunkowym oraz licznym udziałem liczbowym roślin leczniczych. Tereny półnaturalne wchodzące w skład badanych obszarów rekreacyjno-wypoczynkowych, w rejonach centralnych Górnośląskiego Okregu Przemysłowego -zmienione przez działalność gospodarczą, stanowią również ważną ostoję dla ochrony cennych zasobów gatunkowych /genowych / roślin, w tym bardzo licznej grupy leczniczych oraz chronionych.
