A frugal method (use of Foldscope) was used to study the foliar micromorphological characteristics of Oxalis corniculata L. using foldscope in the present research. The results revealed the presence of hypostomatic, paracytic, anisocytic and anomocytic types of stomata. Stomatal density and index were observed as 71.8 and 31.5 respectively. The ven...
Dendrobium cariniferum Rchb. f. is an important crossing parent that is primarily used to produce aromatic Dendrobium orchid cultivars due to its beautiful flowers and pleasant orange fragrance. However, there are no offspring within the limited progenies that fully inherit this odor trait. Thus, converting diploid D. cariniferum into tetraploids f...

Anisomeles is an aromatic genus that belongs to the family Lamiaceae. The members of this genus are
characterized by the presence of camphor-scented flowers. Members of this genus are widely used in folklore
medicine in countries like India to cure various diseases like fever, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, skin diseases,
abdominal pain, psoriasis etc. In the present review traditional uses, phytochemistry and pharmacology of
members belongings to this genus are presented. A wide range of chemical constituents were isolated from
different species of Anisomeles. Among all the constituents that were isolated from these species anisomelic
acid and ovatodiolids are the more abundant bioactive compounds, which show greater biological significance.
They show a wide range antimicrobial, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytoprotective, anticancer,
insecticidal, and herbicidal properties. These species have strong cytotoxicity and anticancer properties which
should be further evaluated. The literature presented in this review will provide a platform for further research
on this genus to develop new safe plant based drugs to cure cancer.

Anisomeles indica commonly known as ‘Indian Catmint’ is native to Southeast Asia and is distributed throughout India, China, Japan and southwards from Malaysia to Australia. The plant is used traditionally as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and in skin problems such as snakebites. Medicinally it has been proven to possess various pharmacological activities like antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti HIV, anti Helicobacter pylori and anticancer activity. It is used in chronic rheumatism. Further studies reveal the presence of various phytochemical constituents mainly triterpenes, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, flavones, apigenin and ovatodiolides etc. These studies reveal that Anisomeles indica is a source of medicinally active compounds and have various pharmacological effects; hence, this drug encourage finding its new therapeutic uses.

Seven fatty acids identified from the methanol extract of Anisomeles indica L., and Anisomeles malabarica L. R. Br. Ex Sims aerial parts. The extracted fatty acids were methyl-esterified and then analyzed by GC-MS. The chemical composition of the fixed oil from A. indica and A. malabarica were investigated together here for the first time. The relative contents of the fatty acids were calculated with Area normalization. Seven fatty acids amounting to 77.778% in A. indica and 68.027% in A. malabarica of the total contents detected. The major finded fatty acids in A. indica were Palmitic acid (23.334%), stearic acid (22.749%), lignoceric acid (21.54%) and, in A. malabarica, Palmitic acid (35.252%), stearic acid (21.43%). The results the content of fatty acids was abundant in Anisomeles species, and it had a great range of potential utilities and a prospect of development in foods medical and health cares.

Anisomeles indica L., and Anisomeles malabarica L. R. Br. Ex Sims, growing wild in India. These shrubs become gives biological effect because of chemical composition of essential oil. Now it is interesting to know available chemicals in it, which also support the claim biological activities still, by the researchers. The chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oils from A. indica and A. malabarica were investigated together here for the first time. The aerial parts (Stem, leaves, flowers and fruit) of hydrodistilled essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and antibacterial activity was individually evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus pumilus using a paper disc diffusion method. Collectively more than fourty compounds were identified in A. indica and A. malabarica, representing 98.29–97.88% of the total essential oil, respectively. The major constituents of essential oils obtained from the A. indica, were linalyl acetate (15.3%), and α-thujone (11.9%). The most abundant compounds in essential oils of A. malabarica, were - α-thujone (17.6%), terpenyl acetate (16.45%) and, δ-cadinene (11.5). All tested G+ ve & G-ve were inhibited by essential oil samples. The GC-MS results of both plants indicated the essential oil is rich in monoterpenes and terpenoids, which have been implicated antibacterial activity, comparable to gentamycin, it was used as a positive probe. The current findings also help to differentiate the valuable Anisomeles species for phyto-pharmaceuticals.
