supplier of TAMARIND to the southern part of the country where its demand is
the highest. I also saw that its seed  is pulverised and the powder is also
sent somewhere South, probably to Hyderabad. They told me it is used as

 Earlier feedback
 Satish Phadke ji.I think
 *Flacourtia

 Vijayasankar jiI know what
 Dinesh ji is going to say, *Casearia* species isn't it ji?
 Sweedle ji..This
 is *Casearia
 ovata *(Lamk.) Willd.* *of family Flacourtiaceae. It was profusely flowering
 in mid June at Yeoor and many insects like butterflies, bees and flies were
 fluttering around it to feed on its nectar.
 Giby ji...This is
 not Flacaurtia, for sure, and for Casearia.. Well, a good close up of
 leaf would make life easy, I guess. it seems that the leaves are serrated
 and the venations is very much different from both the
 genus.Blepharistemma
 serratum (old name B corymbosum) of Rhizophoraceae family. So far reported
 from Kerala and Karnataka only*. *A rare, endemic (Western Ghats) species.
 Small/medium sized tree.
 Rashida ji...These
 cannot be Blepharistemma serratum because as per Biotik database they have
 simple,  opposite leaves, interpetiolar and caducous. Both shobha ji's and
 Dinesh ji's pictures show alternate leaves and leaf margins also do not
 match Blepharistemma serratum. The pictures cannot be Casearia ovata either
 leaves, margins and flowers not matching.

 The search I think continues.

Hi
Cassia tora has many uses. They are as follows:
1.Cassia Tora is used as a coffee substitute and has a maturing and
anodyne action.

2.It is very useful in treating skin diseases like ringworm and
itching or body scratch and psoriasis.

3.The alcoholic or vinegar maceration of pounded fresh leaves is used
externally to treat eczema and dermatomycosis.

4.Decoction of the fruit of Cassia Tora is used in the treatment of
fever.

5.Since the herb acts as a kapha and vata dosha suppressant, it acts
as a nerve tonic.

6.It is consumed in worm infestation and cures the infection occurring
in the body.

7.Cassia Tora acts as a liver stimulant, mild laxative and heart
tonic.

8.The herb helps the body in maintaining the normal level of
cholesterol.

9.Its paste is used for treating skin ailments and also for getting
rid of chronic diseases.

10.Cassia Tora proves worthwhile in treating piles and hemorrhoids as
well as relieving the pain caused on excretion.

11.Its powder proves useful in combating indigestion, toning up heart
muscles and purifying blood.

12.The juice extracted from its leaves is used in case of skin
ailments, rashes and allergies.

13.It is also used as an antidote in case of various poisonings.

14.The leaves ad seeds of Cassia Tora are useful in leprosy,
flatulence, colic, dyspepsia, constipation, cough, bronchitis and
cardiac disorders.

Yes Arvind ji
You are right. The second species, I hope you  meant C. obtusifolia, now
Senna obtusifolia. Truely, the two are very close, although tips of leaves
in S. tora are delicately obtuse, glands between both lower pair of leaflets
(not able to see in the said photographs). In S. obtusifolia tip of leaflet
is more rounded and gland only between lowest pair of leaflets. Perhaps two
are difficult to separate.

 Hi friends...
 sharing with you pics of Crepe Jasmine (Tabernaemontana
 divaricata)
 taken
 today in my garden.
 Crepe jasmine is a beautifully shaped evergreen shrub which
 forms
 symmetrical 6 ft (2 m) high mounds of glossy foliage. The many
 branches tend
 to grow almost parallel to the ground giving the shrub an
   attractive
 horizontal aspect (the species name, divaricata, means at an
   obtuse
 angle). Like many members of the Apocynaceae family, the
 stems of
 crepe
 jasmine exude a milky latex when broken. The large shiny
 leaves are
 deep
 green and are 6 or more inches (15 cm) in length and about 2
 in (5
 cm) in
 width. Crepe jasmine blooms in spring but flowers may appear
 sporadically
 all year. The waxy blossoms are white five-petaled pinwheels
 that
   are
 borne
 in small clusters on the stem tips.
 This flower is called 'Togor' in Bengali.

 Shantanu :)

2010-08-25 Thread Pankaj Oudhia

Dear Anand ji,

Cassia or Senna tora is collected in bulk every year for many purposes
including by gum industries engaged in Guar gum extraction. It is considered
as cheap alternative. Earlier seeds were going to Gujarat and other parts
for processing. Now Gum extraction units are becoming active in the state
itself. It is positive developement.

Here is detailed article on uses of Cassia tora and associated
species.http://www.botanical.com/site/column_poudhia/108_cassia.html

Through my surveys I have documented information on over 25,000
formulationshttp://pankajoudhia.com/newwork.html,
so far, in which it is used as primary, secondary and tertiary ingredients.
Most of these formulations are not mentioned in ancient Indian literature
including Ayurveda but still integral part of Traditional
Healinghttp://www.google.com/webhp?tab=mw#hl=ensafe=offq=+site:www.pankajoudhia.com+cassia+oudhiasa=Xei=ayd1TLmLIZC8vQOYxezLBgved=0CAIQqAQwBQfp=a59a657d635fb15f.
In India natives have rich Traditional Agricultural
Knowledgehttp://www.pankajoudhia.com/publ_2009.pdfabout this herb.

The documented knowledge is waiting for validation and clinical trials for
modern people but among forest people this century old validated knowledge
is saving lives daily.

Here is link for pictures of different aspects of Charota i.e. Senna
tora.http://pankajoudhia.com/album/main.php

Yes Arvind ji
You are right. The second species, I hope you meant C. obtusifolia, now
Senna obtusifolia. Truely, the two are very close, although tips of leaves
in S. tora are delicately obtuse, glands between both lower pair of leaflets
(not able to see in the said photographs). In S. obtusifolia tip of leaflet
is more rounded and gland only between lowest pair of leaflets. Perhaps two
are difficult to separate.

 Hi
 i visited Shantiniketan- famous for Rabindranath Tagore in April 2010.
 I found vast stretches of arid areas where the Forest Dept. of West Bengal
 have planted Sal trees (Shorea robusta) thereby increasing the scenic beauty
 of the otherwise dull areas.

 Shantanu.
