FOREWORD
The use of indigenous drugs for the alleviation of human suffering
is of considerable economic importance to our country. With this end in
view the Indian Research Fund Association, now the Indian Council of
Medical Research, has been sponsoring extensive researches in indigenous
drugs for over two decades. The pioneering work in this field was done
by Colonel Ram Nath Chopra at the Schoel of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta
and it may be said that we owe to him and to his students such knowledge
as we today possess about the indigenous drugs of India. A review of
the work done in this field was published by the Indian Research Fund
Association in 1939. This review was greatly in demand. The Council
therefore decided that it was essential to bring the subject up to date and
requested Colonel Ram Nath Chopra to undertake the task. That he has
done it very ably will be apparent from a perusal of the book. It gives
in simple and non-technical language a brief account of the indigenous
drugs so far investigated in India. The review should therefore be useful
not only to practitioners of the indigenous systems of medicine in the
country but also to scientists and to the lay public as well. It will indi-
cate to the scientists which drugs require further investigation. The
bibliography given at the end is a comprehensive one which, apart from
its scientific value, will show the extent of interest ^hich scientists both
in India and abroad have taken in this subject.
Much yet remains to be done and many more drugs will have to be
investigated scientifically by the application of modern methods of
botanical, chemical, pharmacological and clinical research. I would, however,
like to congratulate Colonel Ram Nath Chopra aiid his collaborators for
their painstaking labour and for putting this material in such a concise and
interesting form.

PREFACE
For many years past, the Indian Council of Medical Research,
formerly Indian Research Fund Association, has given large grants to
research workers all over India for the study of Indian Indigenous
Drugs. In fact it was this body which was chiefly responsible for
initiating work on this subject of great economic importance to India.
The senior author was one of the first recipients of these grants when
he was Professor of Pharmacology at the Calcutta School of Tropical
Medicine and Medical College, Calcutta. As Professor at the former
Institution, one of the duties laid down for him, was the study of Indian
Indigenous Drugs. Financial resources from the School itself for this
work were very limited then and it was the generous grants given by
the Indian Council of Medical Research, extending over a period of more
than three 4ecades, both at the School and later at the Drugs Research
Laboratory, Kashmir which enabled him and his co-workers to carry out
screening studies of a large number of indigenous drugs. Considerable
financial help was also received later from Indian Council of Agricul-
tural Research and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.
In 1938 the senior author was asked to write a review of the work
done on Indigenous Drugs under the Council upto that time, in simple
non-technical language and a brochure was published in 1939. Large
demand came from the public for this pamphlet and the edition was
soon exhausted. In 1953 he was again requested to write a review of
the work on Indian Indigenous Drugs, but this time it was not to be
limited to work done under the Council but was also to include work
done by other independent investigators. A thorough study of the
whole literature on the subject was, therefore, undertaken by the present
authors. It transpired that the work on Indigenous Drugs was being
chiefly directed in the channel of investigation of Indian Medicinal Plants.
Hence the change in the title of the present edition.
The general arrangement of the subject matter in the brochure of
1939 has been again adopted. Brief summaries of the work done on
various drugs have been given in "telegraphic language". A compre-
hensive bibliography has been given, arranged subject wise and with
full titles of papers. Lists of plants used in the treatment of various
diseases in the indigenous systems of medicines have also been given
after a careful analysis of the literature.
It is hoped that this review will be read by those interested in
indigenous drugs and their practical use for alleviation of human ail-
ments. As the descriptions are given in simple non-technical language
and common vernacular names have been included, the present volume
will be of interest not only to research workers but also to the public in
general. The bibliography of nearly two thousand publications on the
subject, collection of which has involved immense labour, will we trust, be
useful to research workers and others.

In writing the present volume we wish to gratefully acknowledge
the assistance we have received at every stage from Mr. K. L. Handa
who has helped in collecting references from literature and has checked
up the chemical data. Messrs. L. D. Kapoor and B. K. Abrol have
checked up botanical terms and synonomy and Dr. Kartar Singh Phar-
macological Assistant in Indigenous Drugs Enquiry has rendered Valu-
able assistance.
To the Governing Body of the Indian Council of Medical Research,
its worthy President Rajkumari Arnrit Kaur and its able Secretary
Dr. C. G. Pandit, the authors are grateful for the generous grants for
work on Indigenous Drugs. These grants are being continued even now
and are enabling the authors to carry on the work at the Drug Research
Laboratory.

A REVIEW OF WORK
ON INDIAN MEDICINAL PLANTS
( including Indigenous Drugs and Poisonous Plants )
INTRODUCTION
The Indian Materia Medica, including the common household reme-
dies, at present includes about 2,000 different drugs. Many of these are
in actual use in different parts of India. Of this number approximately
two hundred are of mineral origin, about two hundred are of animal
origin and the remainder are of vegetable origin. The mineral drugs are
mostly compounds whose chemical composition is generally known and
whose actions are in most cases not difficult to understand. The drugs
of animal origin are a very varied assortment, few of which have been
shown to have any rational usage. The study of indigenous drugs,
therefore, chiefly means a study of Indian medicinal and allied plants in
which there is a vast and very rich field for investigation.
Climate and topography. The extreme variability that India
presents in its meteorological and climatic conditions as also in its topo-
graphical features is perhaps unrivalled in the world. The tremendous
range of variation of temperature from I26F in summer in desert areas
to minus 46F in winter in Dras in Kashmir, and the prevalence of
arctic conditions throughout the year in some of the Himalayan ranges
are well known. The annual rainfall varies from 430 inches at Cherra-
punji in the hills of Assam to less than 5 inches per annum in the desert
areas of Rajputana. The air is saturated with moisture in the coastal
districts and in the hills during the south-west monsoon and there are
periods of practically zero relative humidity in the dry weather. These
are some of the interesting contrasts presented by this vast country in
which we live.
No less striking are its physical features. It has the most massive
and the loftiest range of mountains in the world, the Himalayas. There
are also lower hills and plateaus, extensive rich alluvial plains, sandy
wastes and deserts, hills, streams, mighty riveis with their extensive
deltaic and estuarine systems, numerous lakes, canals, ponds, tanks and
extensive marshy tracts, sandy or rocky coasts spread over an area of
more than a million and half square miles. The country is in fact an
epitome of almost all climates, seasons, and soils of the world. Under
these conditions it is not surprising that India possesses one of the
richest and certainly the most varied flora of any area of similar size on
the surface of the globe.
Features of Indian Vegetation. Roughly speaking, one-fifth of the
Indian sub-continent is occupied by forests of different kinds. There
are ever-green forests occupying the west coast of the peninsula up to the
ridges of the Western mountain chain, and the lower slopes of the
Note . This work was initiated by the Indian Council of Medical Research
formerly Indian Research Fund Association.
Eastern Himalayas, with their magnificent and majestic trees, the 'sky
scrapers' many centuries old. A large part of the peninsula is covered
by the deciduous type of the forests which are very valuable to the
country. There are the dry forests of Rajputana and the Punjab which
are also spread over a .large area of Indian States. There is very little
vegetation of any kind in the Great Indian Desert itself.
Many tidal creeks and backwaters along the coasts of India, chiefly
the deltas of rivers, such as the Sundcrbans are covered with another type
of evergreen forest, the tidal or littoral, where many plants send up from
their underground roots a number of aerial roois for respiration. The mas-
sive chain of the Himalayas with its tropical, tempeiate and alpine flora
presents unique features The eastern Himalayan flora differs remarkably
from the western in several respects in addition to the disappearance of
the tropical type as the extreme north-west is reached. It is in this chain
that the lughest limit of vegetable life on earth has been recorded. The
tree limit in the Western Himalayas corresponds roughly with the snow-
line, i.e. 12,000 ft. above sea level, above which a variety of beautifully
coloured flow r ers flourish. Aquatic or semi-aquatic types of vegetation
are found in the tanks, jhils, ponds, water courses and swamps all over
India particularly in Bengal. Lastly, there arc areas in the plains, as well
as in the hills, e c pecially in the former, which have, through the influence
of man in search of more and more agriculturally exploitable land, lost
much of their original characters Another feature of the Indian vege-
tation is that whereas in one season of the year, vast areas in the plains
of India are the scene of plenty for man and animals, in another they
become a dreary brown sunburnt waste where herbivores starve by the
thousands and where it passes human understanding how any creature
dependent on plant life can survive the dry season.
Relationship to other floras. The Indian flora is closely related to
that of some other countries, and it is interesting to remark that none
of families of flowering plants is peculiar to this country. There is a
very great preponderance of those genera and species which are also
found in the adjacent countries. Malayan, Burmese and Chinese genera
are specially well represented in ICastern India. Next in order come the
European and Middle East flora which are particularly strongly re-
presented in Western India. Of the typically European elements there
are twice as many in the W 7 e?tern as in the Eastern Himalayas. Nearly
600 European genera are represented in India, many of them by a single
species, and the Middle Eastern element is certainly, as is only to be
expected, no less prominent. African, Australian and American
elements follow these in decreasing proportions, the African flora being
n;ore noticeable in Western India. Recently there has been an influx of
American species with their remarkable tendency to spread. Tibetan
and Siberian floras only reach India in the alpine regions of the
Himalayas, while Chinese and Japanese elements are strongly represented
in its temperate belts All these factors tend to make the Indian flora
very rich and cosmopolitan and full of possibilities of economic
importance.
CHAPTER II.
MEDICINAL PLANTS OF INDIA
India abounds in all kinds of food plants, spices, perfumes, timber,
fibres, gums, etc which have been known all over the world from
ancient times There are more than about 700 important fodder plants
including about 260 species of valuable fodder grasses It is not sur-
prising, therefore, that plants containing active and medicinal principles
also grow abundantly within its bounds More than 2,000 plants, out
of a total of about 11,000 species found in India, are alleged to have
medicinal properties of some description or other and have been enumera-
ted in the literature of indigenous medicine. Nearly three-fourths of
the drugs mentioned in the British and other Pharmacopoeias grow
here in a state of nature and others can be easily grown. Indeed, this
country is a veritable emporium of drugs. The families to which the
larger numbers of medicinal plants belong are I y eguminosae, Composite
L,abiatae, Kuphorbiaceae, Rubiacene, Rosacea.% Graminese, Liliacea.*,
Rutaceae, Ranunculacae, Umbellifera?, CucurbitacetL', Solanaceee, Apocy-
naceoe and Malvacea?.
It stands to reason that all these 2,000 odd plants cannot possess
the wonderful virtues attributed to them, but it is believed that there
are some of these which might rightly deserve the reputation they have
earned as cures. In order to determine what these were and what
medicinal properties they possessed the study of these plants was begun
in the early part of the last century.
The early studies were mainly confined to collection of available
data from the literature of indigenous medicine as well as getting infor-
mation about their popular use as houbehold remedieb by the people. A
rough survey with regard to the occurrence of these plants in different
parts of the country was undertaken by various workers and in some
cases chemical analysis of a preliminary nature was also carried out.
Modern medicine however, is intimately related to chemistry and
detailed examinations of active principles of plants and other products
form an essential part of it. Experimental work on the pharmaco-
logical side to determine the action of these active principles needs
laboratories well equipped with modern apparatus and appliances which
were not available in those days. Work on medicinal plants on modern
scientific lines was thus started in the eaily part of this century with
the main objective of making India self-sufficient and self-supporting by
enabling her to Utilize drugs produced in the country and by manu-
facturing them in a form suitable for administration. There are a
number of drugs of established therapeutic value which are in use
in the pharmacopoeias of different countries. Many of these grow
wild and some in great profusion in different parts of India and a certain
number are even cultivated. If these resources could be developed and
utilized and the finished products manufactured, treatment of many
diseases could be brought within the means of the Indian masses who?e
economic condition is unfortunately of a very low order.
A number of important drug plants extensively used by the
medical profession, however, are neither found growing in a state of
nature nor have so far been cultivated in India. Cultivation of such
plants is very important from an economic point of view, and scientific
research in this direction, as is being carried out in other countries,
would be very fruitful. It is a matter of regret that India is still import-
ing quantities of crude drugs in spite of the fact that practically every
conceivable pharmacopoeial drug can be grown within her bounds. The
history of the cultivation of cinchona, eucalyptus, digitalis, etc. in India
clearly shows that the cultivation of medicinal plants is pregnant with
rich possibilities if taken up on proper lines. It is gratifying to note
that in recent years a growing and increasing interest is now being taken
in this direction.
Remedies used in Indigenous Medicine. The second objective
has been to discover remedies from the claims of Ayurvedic, Tibbi and
other indigenous resources suitable for employment by exponents of
Wetsern medicine. This is only possible if these are shown to have
effective active principles in them. Since the period of decay and
resuscitation of old systems of Indian medicine, knowledge of many of
the effective remedies was lost while a number of uncertain ones crept in.
Belief in their efficacy originates in some cases from the teachings of the
ancient commentators and is based on clinical data. In others, how-
ever, there is no basis whatever. The object of research initiated by
the Indian Council of Medical Research (formerly Indian Research
Fund Association) was to determine which of these plants had the
therapeutic efficacy claimed and which had not. Since this work was
started about thirty years ago, several hundred medicinal plants have
been partially screened and investigated by workers in this country.
Some of these have been shown to be of great practical utility and have
been actually brought into use. Many of the others were found to have
effective medicinal properties and could be brought as cheaper substi-
tutes for pharmacopoeial and Bxtr a- pharmacopoeial drugs. A large
number of others were found to be entirely useless. Much, however,
remains to be done and hundreds of plants with alleged medicinal pro-
perties, remain to be investigated.
Collection of drugs. A few words may be said here with regard to
the time of collection of drugs, for purposes of examination. This should
be done at the proper time when the plant matures and the active princi-
ples are at their maximum. If this is not done even effective drugs may
be found to have no activity. During the last twenty five years several
drugs of Indian origin have assumed considerable importance from the
point of view of foreign trade. Many firms of drug manufacturers in
this country also use the locally produced raw materials for the manu-
facture of the finished products. It is a matter of very great concern,
therefore, that the crude drugs collected locally are often not up to the
required standard and this has resulted in considerable economic loss.
Fortunately, this state of affairs is being gradually rectified. It must be
stated however, that collection of drugs is not so simple a matter as most
people seem to imagine. Collectors of medicinal drugs growing in a
state of nature, and the present and prospective cultivators should bear
in mind that there are certain factors which have to be considered in
order to obtain standard medicinal products. There is a good deal of
variation in the active principles in the different parts of a plant and in
different seasons in the same part of the plant. Even the same
part and at the same time of the year shows remarkable variations
in the contents of its active principles. For example, the young and the
old leaves of a plant and unopened and opened flowers differ materially
despite the fact that they are collected from the same plant and during
the same season.
The soil also has an important influence on the active principles of
plants. It has often been observed that plants collected at the proper
time, when the active principles have reached maturity and are at their
maximum, give very effective results while the same plants when collected
under other conditions are utterly useless. Conditions for the collection of
drugs in the case of plants under cultivation are more favourable and strict
control over various factors can be exercised with greater ease than is the
case with plants growing in a state of nature. It has, however, to be ad-
mitted that ideal conditions for the collection of even many of the common
and important medicinal plants are not known with precision and
research is urgently needed to determine the time when the active
principles are at their maximum under the environments existing in this
country, as was done by the Dutch in Java in the case of cinchona. If
this could be systematically carried out, India could supply itself
and other countries with medicinal 'herbs'.
CHAI TBR III
INDIAN INDIGENOUS DRUGS
Main lines of basic research. Having given a general account of
the potentialities of this country with regard to medicinal plants, we
will now briefly describe some of the important lines of basic research
taken up by workers in this connection. The first of these is study of
Indigenous Drugs of India.
Indigenous Drugs of India. It is desirable to point out at the
outset that the term 'Indigenous Drugs' has been used, for the purposes
of research in its widest sense so as to include within its scope not
merely those drugs which were originally the natives of India, but
also those which have been introduced fiom outside and have become
completely naturalised. Drugs which are cultivated in India, whether
used in the indigenous system of medicine or in the pharmacopoeias of
various western countries, have also been brought within the purview of
this investigation. The term also includes locally manufactured prepara-
tions of mineral and animal origin which are used in medicine as practised
in India.
Historical- The study of Indian indigenous drugs was first begun
in the early part of the last century and it was then confined chiefly
to the collection of available information with regard to various medicinal
plants growing in different parts of the country. The earliest contri-
butions were from the writings of Sir William Jones whose memoir en-
titled "Botanical Observations on Select Plants" , is well known. This was
followed in 1810 by John Fleming's "Catalogue of Medicinal Plants",
Ainslie's "M ateria Medica of Hindmtan" in 1813, and Roxburgh's "Flora
Indica" in 1820. In 1844 O Shaughnessys publivshed his "Bengal Pharma-
copoeia" which was the first book of its kind which dealt exclusively
with the properties and uses of the medicinal plants used in Bengal.
In 1868 a '* Pharmacopoeia of India" was published under the able editor-
ship of Waring. It signalized a new epoch in establishing and record-
ing the value of indigenous medicinal products on modern lines. The
more important drugs were officially recognised with a view to their
eventual adoption in the British Pharmacopoeia. As a large number
of the drugs, especially those in local use by practitioners and as house-
hold remedies, were not included in this work, Mohideen Sheriff pub-
lished his "Supplement to the Pharmacopoeia" in the year 1869. He is also
the author of "Materia Medica of Madras" which was edited and pub-
lished after his death by Hooper. U. C. Dutt's translation of Sanskrit
Materia Medica brought into prominence the drugs used in the old Hindu
Medicine even now largely practised in India. Then Fluckiger's and
Hanbury's " Pharmacographia and Materia Medica of Western India" 1883
was published. These were followed by the publication of that very com-
prehensive book on the Indian Medicinal plants the "Pharmacographia
Indica" in 1885 under the joint editorship of Warden and
Hooper. This treatise contains a mass of information regarding the
uses of the indigenous materia medica in the Eastern and Western
medicine. The most elaborate work of all is "A Dictionary of the Economic
Products of India' 9 published in 1895 by Sir George Watt; the Reporter
on the Economic Products to the Government of India. This monu-
mental work, compiled with the help of a large team of workers; refers
to all the previous work on medicinal plants and other plants of economic
importance. Its pages are full of information of every description
regarding the use of different barks, roots, flowers, leaves and woods for
different medicinal and other purposes. Works published still later such
as Kanai Lai Dey's "Indigenous Drugs of India" and Kirtikar and Basu's
"Indian Medicinal Plants' are largely summaries and compilations from
the above mentioned literature in a more systematised and elaborated
form. In the last named book, plates illustrating various important
medicinal herbs are given which greatly help the reader in differentiating
them from plants with which they are apt to be confused.
The literature mentioned above is very valuable, as it contains not
only information from Ayurvedic and Tibbi sources, but also gives the
results of personal observations and experiences of some of the writers.
There is no doubt that a considerable amount of botanical investigation
into the scientific names of many medicinal plants was accomplished.
More, however, remained to be done in the case of a large number of
plants to clear up many points with respect to their exact botanical
sources. Many drugs that had escaped the previous investigators require
to be explored in all their details.
Admirable as all these attempts were, the pharmacology of most of
the indigenous remedies remained an unexplored field till
recent years The reason for this is not far to seek. Investigations of
this nature require a considerable outlay of money in the form of well-
equipped chemical and pharmacological laboratories, while a liberal staff
of competent chemists and pharmacologists is another essential prere-
quisite. Medicine we have observed is now intimately related to
chemistry, and the ultimate solution of most problems, whether physiolo-
gical or biological, rests on some physical or chemical basis. This is
forcibly presented to us in the study of the action of drugs. The impor-
tance of the cooperation of chemists at every stage of research work can
only be realised by the workers themselves. If satisfactory results have
to be achieved and if the work is to be carried out on the same standard
as in other civilised countries, the cooperation of competent chemists with
experience is the first essential.
It must be pointed out that the time and labour required to work
out the chemical composition of a single drug are enormous. This may
be judged from the fact that it would take an experienced chemists
several months, perhaps a year or more, to isolate in a pure state and
roughly describe the nature of the different chemical constituents of a
single crude drug. The determination of the chemical constitution of
the active principles concerned would take a considerably longer time.
The isolation of a sufficient quantity of the active principles and the
testing of them pharmacologically would occupy many months. The
magnitude of the task of working out all the drugs used in the indi-
genous systems of medicine in detail transcends all imagination. There
is such an enormous scope for research in this field, and so little has been,
done, that it is impossible for any one individual or any one institution to
cope with it adequately. The cooperation and intimate association of a
large number of sincere and devoted workers of ability is needed to find
the truth. This is now being gradually done. Chairs in Pharmacology
have been founded by the various Universities and Medical Colleges and
facilities for research work on modern scientific lines are now being
$iade increasingly more available.
8
As the action of these drugs or their active principles can only be
established by a careful chemical, pharmacological and clinical study,
the investigation in all the three aspects should be carried on side by
side. The experimental work on the pharmacological side can be done
only in laboratories well equipped with all modern appliances. The first
laboratory of its kind established in this country was at the School of
Tropical Medicine, Calcutta in 1921. One of the main duties of the
Professor of Pharmacology laid down was investigation of the indigenous
drugs on scientific lines. The chemical department of this institution
had a small team of chemists who worked out the chemical composition
of drugs, isolated the active principles and handed them to the pharma-
cologist for determination of their action on the animal organism. The
clinical testing of the dmg was made possible by the Carmichael Hospital
for Tropical Diseases a research hospital attached to this insti-
tution. In this way it was found possible to go through a number
of drugs in all the varied phases of their investigation, i.e. from the
isolation of their active principles to the testing of their action on ani-
mals and finally to the making of suitable preparations for trial on
patients, and for recording the results of therapeutic trials.
The staff of the Departments of Pharmacology and Chemistry of
this institution was only a nucleus to start this work. It was wholly
inadequate to deal with such an immense task in addition to its ordinary
duties of post-graduate teaching. Although a modest beginning was made
in 1921 when the School started functioning, it was not really till 1926,
when the Indian Research Fund Association, now known as the Indian
Council of Medical Research, gave a grant to develop this work. Investiga-
tions were then taken up in right earnest and on proper systematic lines.
During the years that followed, the importance of this work was apprecia-
ted with greater emphasis and the grants were considerably increased,
It was realised by this body that this was the only effective reply to
attempts at the wholesale revival of the indigenous system of medicine
which were then in evidence. In 1935 the Imperial Council of Agricultural
Research (now Indian Council of Agricultural Research), appreciating
the importance of basic research of this type which was being done gave
a grant for the investigation of the closely allied group of Poisonous
Plants and Food Poisons of India which are such a menace to man and
live-stock in this country. By this grant the research facilities for work
on indigenous drugs were also further augmented and certain deficiencies
which existed in the technical staff were made good. An efficient Botani-
cal Unit was thus provided, the want of which had been very keenly
felt in connection with the research work on medicinal plants.
With all these facilities made available it was possible to undertake
the study of a large number of drugs in all the varied phases of their
investigation i.e., from the isolation of their active principles to the test-
ing of their action on animals and finally making suitable preparations
for trials on patients and for recording results of therapeutic trials.
During the three decades that have followed, the research work on
indigenous drugs has received considerable encouragement and has made
satisfactory progress. The example of the Indian Council of
Medical Research and Indian Council of Agricultural Research was
followed by the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research, This Council
gave very generous grants to various Medical Institutions and other
research bodies for this work. It also established in 1950, the Central Drug
Research Institute at Lucknow as one of the eleven major National
Laboratories of India. One whole division of this great Institution is
devoted entirely to the study of Indian Indigenous Drugs. With the dawn
of Independence, therefore, this research has been put on a sound and
firm basis. Much has been accomplished, in the study of Indian Medi-
cinal Plants on systematic and scientific lines, though much more remains
to be done. A brief review of this work will be found, in the following
pages.
It is obvious from what has been stated above that the Indian
Council of Medical Research with its predecessor the Indian Research
Fund Association were the pioneers in encouraging the study of Indian
Indigenous Drugs on scientific lines. It was the example of this body
which stimulated interest on this important subject of vital importance
to the country.
CHAPTER IV
BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDY OF
INDIGENOUS DRUGS
We have said above that detailed study of Indigenous Drugs is
not a one man job. It needs close collaboration and association of
scientific workers in different allied subjects. The prerequisites for the
work to be done properly on scientific lines are*
1. A Botanical Unit. This Unit should consist of experienced
botanists and technicians. They help not only in the collection and
identification of genuine drugs, but also in carrying out a survey of the
medicinal and poisonous plants growing in different parts of the country.
The importance of this section must not be under-rated, ' as on the
correct identification of the drugs depends the utility and authenticity
of the whole work. In, the early stages, when expert botanical help
was not available, many mistakes were made in connection with the iden-
tity of medicinal plants, thereby causing much confusion and waste of
effort. An extensive herbarium of these plants is being gradually built
up by our botanists. This is a unique collection of its kind in India, and
is rendering the correct identification of medicinal plants for any trained
worker an easy matter.
2. A Chemical Unit. This should consist of a band of expert
research chemists with special experience in plant chemistry. They
should be trained for work in different aspects of plant chemistry invol-
ving extraction and identification of active principles, such as alkaloids,
glucosides, essential oils, neutral principles, antibiotics etc. The medicinal
or poisonous plants sent by different forest officers or collected by the
botanists, are first dealt with in this department and an attempt is made
to determine the active constituents that may be contained in them.
The preliminary chemical examination, the isolation of the different
constituents which may have pharmacological action, their purification and
elementary analysis all require considerable time, patience and skill. It
may be stated here, that the isolation of the active principles of plant
constituents is not an easy task of a routine nature, as may perhaps be
imagined. Kach plant has its own peculiar problems and difficulties
which have to be solved. This can only be done by chemists with
considerable practical experience and technical skill. Besides being
engaged in the isolation and identification of active principles of plants,
the chemical section is also required to assist in chemical and biochemi-
cal assays of different drugs, in the preparation of galenicals, extracts,
etc. for purposes of clinical trial in the hospitals. The work involved,
therefore, is of a varied and comprehensive character. Efficient teams
of workers, have now been brought into existence after many years of
training, and the analytical work is being considerably facilitated as
more experience is being gained.
3. A Pharmacological Unit. This is composed, preferably of
medical men especially trained in the technique of experimental pharma-
cology, who work under the guidance of a pharmacologist with large
practical experience of this type of work. They test the different pre-
parations or the purified active constituents isolated by the chemists by
properly planned animal experimentation. They also carry out biological
assays, test the toxicity of drugs and suggest suitable doses for thera-
peutic trials. Here also experience assists a great deal in assessing the
10
II
value of the reactions produced in animal tissues by drugs under
investigation and their practical application to therapeutics in man.
4. A Clinical Unit. This section carries out testing of drugs on
patients in the out-patients department and in the hospital.
This work is carried out under the direct guidance of experienced
pharmacologists and clinicians. It has often happened that drugs have
been tried in a haphazard fashion by medical practitioners and wrong
conclusions have been drawn. The proper clinical evaluation of these
drugs needs a well equipped hospital with a specially trained house staff
of medical men and nurses, in which patients can be kept and watched
for weeks and months if necessary. The clinician in charge of such
investigation should also have experience of this type of work which
needs considerable patience and sound judgment.
The existence of such teams all working in close cooperation, makes
it possible to carry out this type of work on proper systematic lines.
Research work of this nature started in institutions or university labora-
tories is often cut short at an early stage as the workers have to depend
on institutions such as Hospitals for trials. Again some of the univer-
sities and colleges do not possess properly * equipped laboratories for
pharmacological studies. The procurement of all these facilities is
expensive and make this work difficult. If such organisations as Indian
Council of Medical Research, Indian Council of Agricultural Research and
Council of Scientific & Industrial Research had not come forward with
generous grants, it would not have been possible to make any headway.
It will thus be seen that from the stage of empirical knowledge
available of a crude drug to bring it to its rational usage in modern
medicine, it must pass through the following stages :
(i) Botanical identification. (2) Chemical examination and iso-
lation of active principles. (3) Determination of their pharmacological
action and toxic effects. (4) Chemo therapeutic studies in animals.
(5) Clinical trials in man.
In case of well-known drugs of established value in indigenous
medicine, it may some time be convenient to start with clinical trials
first and proceed to analysis and laboratory tests afterwards. A
schematic idea of the work is given below :

In whatever way the investigation is carried out on an indigenous
drug, the work is time-consuming and can only be done by team-work
of several groups of scientists each expert in his own field. The work
should be co-ordinated by a medical scientist of experience who can
draw logical conclusions from the data obtained. Haphazard approaches
to this work have led to wrong conclusions and much confusion.
CHAPTER V
SCOPE OF WORK ON INDIGENOUS DRUGS
Work on indigenous drugs on modern scientific lines was initiated
by the senior author when he was appointed Professor of Pharmacology
at the School of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta with the following main
objects in view :
1. To make India self-supporting by enabling her to utilise the
drugs produced in the country, by manufacturing them in a
form suitable for administration.
2. To discover remedies from the claims of Ayurvedic, Tibbi and
other indigenous sources suitable to be employed by the
exponents of Western medicine.
3. To discover the means of effecting economy, so that these
remedies might fall within the means of the great masses in
India whose economic condition is very low.
4. To prepare an Indian Pharmacopoeia including indigenous
remedies of value.
(i) To MAKE INDIA SELF-SUPPORTING so FAR AS DRUGS AND
THEIR PREPARATIONS ARE CONCERNED.
Pharmacopoeial and Allied Drugs. The first proposition is likely
to lead to great results, because a large number of drugs which grow in
this country are known both to Eastern and Western medicine and the
properties and actions in many cases are also known. The research here
has been diverted into two main channels. Firstly, there are many drugs
of established therapeutic value which are in use in the pharmacopoeias
of different countries. The majority of these grow wild and in abun-
dance in many parts of India and a certain number are even cultivated.
Some of these are collected and exported, though only a small fraction
of the quantity produced, to foreign countries and. come back to us in the
form of standardised pharmaceutical preparations and active principles
in pure condition, probably at a price many times that of the original
crude product. A host of others grow, mature and eventually die with-
out being put to any practical use whatsoever. There are numerous
examples which have been dealt with in detail elsewhere. A brief des-
cription of those investigated is given hereafter in this review with short
notes with regard to the work done.
Besides these, there are a number of pharmacopoeial drugs which are
Widely used by the medical profession, but which do not naturally grow
in this country. They thrive, however, when they are cultivated under
proper conditions in suitable parts of the country. Examples of such
drugs are numerous but a few of the important ones such as digitalis,
ipecacuanha, eucalyptus, cinchona, jalap, etc., may be cited. They were
introduced into India many years ago and are doing well. On account
of the great demand for these drugs in medical practice, their production
13
14
in this country is of great economic importance. India, we have stated,
possesses most wonderful variability so far as the temperature and general
climatic conditions are concerned, and every conceivable drug ranging
from those growing in the hotest tropical and damp climates to those
growing in dry, temperate and very cold climates can be grown and
acclimatised in some part or other, From the geological point of view
also every grade of soil from alluvial deposits to hard rocky formation
and sandy deserts are met with. Professor Greenish of the London
School of Pharmacy rightly said, "India owing to the remarkable varia-
tions she possesses of climate, altitude and soil, is in a position to produce
successfully every variety of medicinal herb required by Europe".
It should be remembered, however, that the soil, the season and the
gathering time are some of the important variable factors with plants,
and it can hardly be expected that the amount of active constituents
would be constant under all conditions In some cases the quality is
good and constant, but in the majority of instances the percentage com-
position of active principles has to be determined by careful methods of
chemical and biological assay, to show that these remedies, growing in a
state of nature, are as good in quality as those required by the standards
laid down in the Pharmacopoeias. If they do not come up to the required
standard, the best method of bringing them into general use by improv-
ing the quality of the active principles by suitable cultivation, in parts
of the country where this can be done economically, has to be determined.
The work done so far in connection with these two groups of plants,
has been responsible for bringing into use a large number of crude drugs,
which were formerly imported from foreign countries by the drug manu-
facturing industry, by showing that the active principles of many of the
indigenous plants came up to the standards laid down by the pharma-
copoeia.
Secondly, a large number of plants grow in India which, though not
exactly the same, have properties and actions similar to the imported
and often expensive remedies and would form excellent substitutes. Not
infrequently there are some closely allied species which are pharmacologi-
cally just as active. The properties of these plants are being worked
out on scientific lines and they are being brought into use. Some
examples may be cited here. Colchicum luteum growing on the slopes of the
western temperate Himalayas has been shown to be an excellent substi-
tute for the official C. autumnale. S cilia indica grows extensively on the
sea-coast and on the drier hills of the lower Himalayas and the Salt .Range
and is being used as a substitute for S. maritima Ferula narthex, growing
in Kashmir, yields a gum resin resembling asafoetida The properties of
Picrasma quassioides and Gentiana kurroo resemble those of Picrasma
excdsa and Gentiana lutea which are official in the British Pharmacopoeia.
Many other examples could be cited.
In both these groups there is a large field for lesearch and develop-
ment and considerable work has been done in connection with recognition
of their active ingredients, determination of their percentage composition
and establishing their pharmacological action. Pharmaceutical pre-
parations are now manufactured from these indigenous products to the
immense advantage of the country.
15
(2) To DISCOVER REMEDIES FROM THE CLAIMS OF AYURVEDIC, TlBBI,
ADN OTHER INDIGENOUS SOURCES.
The Drugs used in the Indigenous Medicine. The second pro*
position of popularising and introducing new drugs to Western medicine
is a more difficult one. It is believed that out of the very large number
of drugs used in the indigenous systems of medicine for centuries past,
and still in use, there must be some at least which might deserve the
reputation they have earned as cures. Since the period of decay and
recompilation of old Indian systems of medicine, many of the effective
remedies have been lost and a number of uncertain ones have come in.
The result is that in the indigenous systems, at the present time, almost
every plant and shrub growing in the country has ascribed to it some
medicinal virtue. These beliefs in some cases originate from the teach-
ings of the ancient commentators and are based on clinical data, but in
others have no foundation whatever. Their introduction was empirical
and often a drug was used simply because a single case appeared to have
derived some benefit from it. In this way remedies have multiplied
without proof but by belief and as they hail from all parts of India, no
one seems to have a correct notion about their uses and properties. The
employment of a large number of them would thus appear to have been
based on empirical evidence handed down from generation to generation.
A thorough and complete research into all these drugs would constitute
the life long work of innumerable chemists, pharmacologists and phy-
sicians. For practical purposes the method adopted by workers has been
to make use of the experience of Vaids, Hakims and others, and to take
up for investigation those drugs which have a great local reputation
before touching the less known remedies. Besides, many of these drugs
have been clinically tried by medical men practising Western medicine,
who have expressed their opinion regarding their efficacy; this has also
been helpful in the selection of drugs to be investigated. In this way a
large number of commonly used drugs have been scrutinised.
(3). HOW TO EFFECT ECONOMY AND BRING THE TREATMENT WITHIN
THE MEANS OF THE MASSES.
The third proposition relates to the devising of expedients for effec-
ting economy, so that these remedies may reach the masses. This is only
possible if the price of the drugs can be considerably reduced; for in a poor
country like India, there are millions of people who cannot afford any
kind of treatment, whether cheap or expensive, and have consequently to
depend upon charitable medical relief institutions. The cost of drugs
is so heavy that most of these institutions, which have only a limited
annual budget for drugs, are not able to cope with the demand for such
common and essential drugs as quinine, castor oil, magnesia, etc., to say
nothing of the expensive medicines which are sometimes necessary and
even indispensable.
The only way in which drugs can be cheapened and brought within
the means of the masses is to utilise the local resources and substitute
the indigenous products for the more expensive imported preparations of
Western medicine. This can be done by encouraging the production,
collection and manufacture of the local materia medica by preparing
pharmaceutical preparations in a systematic manner. By local produc-
tion and substitution of equally potent drugs of Indian origin for the
imported drugs, the cost of treatment can be considerably reduced.
16
We have already made a reference to 'some of these remedies and
the possibilities of their development. Their active principles are now
being isolated, and standardised preparations such as tinctures, extracts,
powders, etc., are being prepared by a number of reliable manufacturers.
If this aspect is further developed it will be possible to affect large scale
economy.
It is a matter of satisfaction to note that a great deal has been
done towards the development of a drug manufacturing industry in
India, and towards encouraging the use of raw material produced in the
country for the preparation of galenical and other preparations. The
price of preparations has already come down considerably during recent
years and by further development of this industry it is hoped that there
will be further reduction in prices. The factors which were militating
against the bringing down of the prices of medicinal preparations to the
level of the low economic conditions of the masses were fully investigated
by the Drugs Enquiry Committee (1930-31). These were firstly, the
excise duty on alcohol used for bonafide medicinal purposes by the manu-
facturers, and secondly the high railway freight for purposes of transpor-
tation of drugs from one part of the country to another. Attention is
being given to all these and drug industry in India is being put on a
sound basis.
(4). INDIAN PHARMACOPOEIA.
The fourth proposition of preparing a Pharmacopoeia is by no means
an easy one. A national Pharmacopoeia is primarily meant to meet the
claims and satisfy the needs of a particular group of physicians at a
particular time. There must exist, and there does exist, a great difference
not only between the Pharmacopoeias of various countries, but also
between various editions of the same Pharmacopoeia.
The object of a Pharmacopoeia is, in the words of the founders of
the United States Pharmocopoeia, 1820, "to select from among substances
which have medicinal power those the utility of which is most fully estab-
lished and best understood, and to form from them preparations and
compositions in which their powers may be exerted to the greatest
advantage. "
The modern Pharmacopoeia is above all a book of standards. Its
fundamental object and scope is, "to provide standards for the drugs and
medicines of therapeutic usefulness or pharmaceutic necessity sufficiently
used in medical practice; to lay down tests for the identity quality, and
purity, to insure, as far as possible, uniformity in physical properties and
active constituents/ 1 In other words, usage, rational usage and scientific
usage are the basis of judgement.
The evidence placed before the Drug Enquiry Committee 1930-31
showed that India should have an official publication which would record
what she recognizes as a trustworthy and approved materia medica upon
which can be established modern food and drug acts, poison laws, systems
pf taxation, and the modernization of legal medicine. Her best scientific
men should be enlisted to shoulder the responsibility of working out
India's own standards and to develop the necessary analytical laborator-
ies, biological institutes and pharmaceutical schools. It involves not
only the development of machinery for the administration of laws based
upon official standards, it means also rinding an authoritative standard
which every doctor and pharmacist in India will hail as a real guide in
every-day work.
A consideration of what is said above will show that although the
preparation of an Indian Pharmacopoeia is very desireable, a very large
amount of work must necessarily be done before such a work can be pre-
pared. The Drug Enquiry Committee 1930-31 carefully considered the
question of the compilation of an Indian Pharmacopoeia and thought
that the utility of such a work for the country cannot be overrated.
The pharmacopoeia which is in view ought to include the therapeuti-
cally active substances and, to find admission to it, a drug must be of
known composition, of definite pharmacological action, and of well-estab-
lished therapeutic use, and fully investigated for its toxicity and necessary
standard for determining a safe maximum dote, with a chemical or bio-
logical standard. The large mass which do not satisfy this condition should
be left out. Necessary tests have to be developed for the protection of
doctor, pharmacist, and patient India ought to set a standard of
strength and purity for the material which is to appear on her markets.
This work should be on the lines of the British and the United
States Pharmacopoeias including only drugs of known composition, of
definite pharmacological action, of well-established therapeutic properties,
with known toxicity and the necessary standards of chemical and biologi-
cal assay for determining the safe maximum dose?.
The work which is being done on the Indian Indigenous Drugs is
exactly the type of work which will eventually lead to the preparation of
an Indian Pharmacopoeia. But it is obvious that much more will have
to be done before such an authoritative publication can be prepared.
The Drug Control Laboratory at Calcutta and later the Central Drug
Research Institute, Lucknow have helped greatly towards evolving
standards suitable for this country. A large number of drugs commonly
used have been fully worked out, and the conditions above stated are
being satisfied with regard to them.
It is a matter of great satisfaction to note that work on these drugs
has sufficiently advanced to lay the foundation of an Indian Pharmaco-
poeia. As a first step towards it an Indian Pharmacopoeia List was pre-
pared by the Committee set up by the Government of India under the
auspices of Drugs Technical Advisory Board in 1947. This was published
in 1949 an d i s an authoritative document laying down standards for
Indian climatic and other conditions for drugs sufficiently worked up to
be included in the List. The Health Ministry then set up a Permanent
Pharmacopoeia Committee. This Committee has been at work since and
with the help of number of sub -committees composed of experts from all
parts of India has now practically completed the labour of compiling the
first edition of Indian Pharmacopoeia which will be published in the near
future. The pioneering work done in connection with the preparation of
Indian Pharmacopoeia by the Indian Council of Medical Research (formerly
Indian Research Fund Association) cannot be overrated. As early as
1926 this body appreciated the importance of the study of Indigenous
Drugs on scientific lines as a preliminary to compilation of an Indian
Pharmacopoeia and started financing a number of investigations in this
i8
connection with the object of working out of the indigenous drugs on
scientific lines.
Recently an Indian Pharmaceutical Codex has been published under
the auspices of Council of vScientific & Industrial Research by Dr. B.
Mukerji, Director, Central Drug Research Institute, L,ucknow, which gives
about 200 monographs and a similar number of formulary giving pharma-
cognostic, chemical, pharmcological and therapeutic data on indigenous
drugs with their preparation and dosage for the medical and pharmaceuti-
cal professions.
CHAPTER VI *
A RETROSPECT OF RESULTS ACHIEVED
During the period of three or four decades since this work was
started, much has been accomplished though only the fringe of this vast
problem has yet been touched. A number of important medicinal plants
commonly used by the Kabirajes, Hakims and as popular household
remedies by the people have been investigated on modern scientific lines..
The chemical composition of many plants has been determined, the
pharmacological action of the active principles of a large number has
been worked out by animal experimentation, and finally suitable pre-
parations made from a number of drugs have been tested on patients in
properly equipped hospitals It is only by such thorough investigations
that the real merits of these drugs can be proved and a demand created
for them not only in India but in other parts of the world. This
laborious work has brought into prominence the merits and qualities of
certain drugs and it has been shown that they may prove to be valuable
additions to the armamentarium of the medical man to relieve the
sufferings of humanity, if brought into general use Such drugs
unfortunately are not many. A few examples may be cited here.
Holarrhena antidysenterica (Kurchi) has proved useful in the treatment of
amoebic dysentery especially the chronic form, 1iauu">olfia serpentina has
proved to be an effective sedative which brings clown the blood pressure
particularly the diastolic. This plant has attracted much attention of
the Pharmacologists and clinicians in Europe and America There are a
number of others Plantago ovata Isabgul is an* excellent sedative in
irritative conditions of the guts, Adhatoda vasica is a good expectorant;
Psoralea corylifolia is useful in leucoderma; Cissampelos panera is likely
to be a useful smooth muscle relaxant; Deamia extensa as smooth muscle
stimulant.
A large number of those examined showed activity more or less the
same as drugs already possessed by the pharmacopoeias. These can be
brought into use as cheaper indigenous substitutes. Many others were
effective enough to be used in the treatment of common minor ailments
which form about #0% of total morbidity in this country A fourth
group of drugs which though used in indigenous medicine were found to
have little or no activity as judged by our standards. Many drugs of
questionable value and doubtful utility crept into the indigenous systems
during the period of decay.
Full details of work done in this connection upto the end of 1953
will be found in the ^nd Edition of "The Indigenous drugs of India" which
is a compendium of information with the regard to the whole subject of
indigenous drugs and constitutes a leading work of reference. A Glossary
of Indian Medicinal Plants is in the course of publication by the Council
of Scientific & Industrial Research. In this book which has involved
immense labour, brief reference has been made to scientific name of
plants, their common vernacular names, the active principles contained,
2O
the diseased conditions in which they are popularly used and the important
references in literature on the work done. This will form a handy volume
for those interested in medicinal plants growing in India.
The Wealth of India 1949-53 is a very comprehensive treatise which
is being published under the auspices of the Council of Scientific &
Industrial Research. This book is really a new edition of a Dictionary
of Economic Products of India, published in 1895, brought up-to-date.
It will eventually come out in many volumes. The first five are already
out and - do credit to the Editorial Board of Council of Scientific &
Industrial Research. In these books the results of investigations of
many drugs on the lines indicated above are given.
A list of drugs which have been investigated with a brief summary
of work done will be found hereafter. Those which have been shown to
be of proved utility are marked with an asterisk.
Value of Negative results. Apart from establishing the value of
many useful remedies there is another aspect of this work which should
not be neglected in this review. At the present time most of the drugs
used in the indigenous medicine are supposed to be specific for some
particular diseases and lay people will wax eloquent in their descriptions
of the wonderful cures said to have been produced by some of these
remedies. Glowing statements of this nature, supported by insuffi-
cient evidence, have also some times appeared in medical journals, as in
the case of effectiveness of Vitev peduncularis in malarial fevers and
black water fever. This has done a great deal of harm and distin-
guished pharmacologists and clinicians of the West are beginning to
doubt if there is really ^anything of much value in the vast array of
the materia medica of the indigenous systems of medicine. Many are
inclined to take the view that an investigation into the properties of
these drugs is not likely to lead to much material results- In this way
the reputation of these remedies has grievously suffered in Western
medicine, the good ones being indiscriminately classed with the bad.
Only systematic research of this kind can establish the value of the
useful ones.
It should also be remembered, however, that the indigenous
systems of medicine, good, bad or indifferent as they might be, minister
to the needs of about 80 per cent of the population of this vast country
even at the present time. It is, therefore, the duty of research
organisations in this country to investigate the materia medica which
are in use in order to prove or disprove their effectiveness and their
practical utility in the treatment of disease.
In the following pages a brief summary of the work done on
commonly used drugs is given first and then its common vernacular
names, habitat, the parts of the plant used in indigenous medicine and
the ailments in which they are prescribed. After this the active principles
found in tjie plant, their pharmacological action and results of clinical
trials are recorded. Indications are also briefly given of the direction
In which further work may be carried out.

CHAPTER VII
L TOXICOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INDIAN PLANTS
The second line of basic research has been in connection with the
Poisonous Plants of India including the group of insecticides, insect
repellent etc. Here we will briefly refer to the present position with
regard to the toxicological aspects of Indian Plants.
(i) CRYPTOGAMS OR THE FLOWERI.ESS PLANTS.
The toxicological aspects of the Cryptogams are little known so far
as India is concerned.
(a) Bacteria. The bacteria are among the simplest form of plant
life and are met with universally. The majority of them are harmless,
but some are injurious to man and animals. They produce deleterious
effects in two ways: Firstly as parasites, when they derive nourishment
from living animals and many of them produce, within the body, toxins
which are harmful. Secondly many saprophytic bacteria produce
poisonous substances, especially such as those occur ing in putrid flesh, fish
and other decaying organic matter. It is not our intention to give details
of toxic properties of this group. These are fully discussed in books on
bacteriology. Bacteria are a class by themselves and although they
belong to vegetable kingdom do not come under our purview here.
On the other hand a number of organisms of this group produce
antibiotic substances which are of very great value in the treatment of
disease. Streptomycin has been derived from Streptomyces griseus ( Acli-
nomyces griseus ), Aureomycin from Streptomycea auriofaciens, Terrain ycin
from Streptomyces rimosus, Chloromycetin from Streptomyces veneznelae,
Bacitracin from strains of B. subtilis, etc.
A large amount of work is now being done in this country on the
isolation of antibiotic substances from various soil and other micro
organisms found in this country.
(b) Algae. The algse that cause poisoning are mostly those which
are found in stagnant waters. The normally offensive odour may be
sufficient to indicate their presence, but only a microscopic examination
can determine just what the forms of algse present may be. Blue-green
algse. as a group, are perhaps the most pronounced in their toxic effect.
Parker and other workers have shown that when odours in water are
pronounced, these microscopic organisms are present in considerable
numbers. He claims that of the organisms which produce objectionable
and deleterious qualities in water, the microscopic ones arc the more
important and very few cases have been observed in which really serious
trouble in water supplies could be attributed directly to the growth of
larger plants. In any study of the algae from this point of view, however,
account must be taken of the products of decomposition by the associated
bacteria, since poisoning may be produced by the toxins produced by
bacteria rather than by the algae.
52
53
Certain algae, such as Microcyatia floa+oquoe ( Wittr. ) Kirch,
Aphanizomenon fios-aquae (Linn.) Ralfs. and species of Anaboena, etc.
form on the surface of water what is generally called water bloom. The
presence of water bloom on the surface of lakes, ponds, and othet open
sheets of water is distasteful to bathers and obnoxious to those living in
the vicinity. Livestock compelled to drink water containing water bloom
are reported to have suffered from poisoning. In Minnesotta, (U.S.A.)
during recent years, horses, cattle, sheep and donkeys have died in large
numbers on the shores of lakes where water bloom is present. All the
above mentioned algae forming water bloom have been recorded in various
parts of India but no work has been done in connection with their toxic
effects. According to Dr. Bhardawaja of the Benaras Hindu University,
water blooms containing these species occur commonly on the surface of
many temple tanks in different parts of India. Of the other possibly
harmful algae may be mentioned species of Nodularia, Clathrocystis, Nostoc,
Oscillatoria, Pandorina, and Volvox when present in large numbers.
The question of growth of algae in water reservoirs leads us to a very
important public health problem. Although in India very little infor-
mation is available about the contamination of the water supplies with the
group of toxic algae, the important question of checking their growth in
the reservoirs of water supplies needs study. One of the essentials of the
algal growth is light. This growth may, therefore, be prevented, or at any
rate considerably reduced, by covering up the reservoirs and cutting off
sunlight. Most of the reservoirs for the supply of water to both animals and
man, however, in India are generally not covered and are often largely
contaminated with algal growth. The removal of organic matter by keep-
ing the source of water supply in as pure a state as possible will not doubt
keep down the algal growth. It must be understood, however, that nearly
all water contains sufficient organic matter for the growth of algae, especially
the water coming from water-sheds. Growth of algae can also be success-
fully prevented by additions of copper sulphate in dilutions of one in five
millions or even more. Such dilutions do not render the water deleterious
to man and animals. The problem of toxic algae is important and
deserves the attention of workers in this field. It is also possible that some
of these algae may contain active principles having therapeutic properties
in the treatment of disease. This aspect has yet to be investigated.
(c) Fungi, (i). Some fungi live on the skin and mucous membranes
of man and animals and cause various, diseases, e.g. ringworm, thrush, etc.
(ii). There are others which attack foodstuffs and among these may
be mentioned :
(1) Smuts. Many of these are destructive parasites which invade
plants of vital economic importance on account of their food value, such
as oats, millet and other cereals. Some are supposed to be piosonous if
taken in large quantities, and others are said to produce irritation of the
mucous membranes. There is difference of opinion with regard to the
injurious effects produced by particular kinds of smut and hardly any
authentic information is available regarding those occuring in India. The
subject deserves the attention of mycologists.
(2) Rusts. Annual reccurrence of the outbreaks of rust attacks of
cereals in India, especially those attacking wheat, is of great economic
importance to the country. These, especially the uredo stage, produce
54
inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and nose. The dust
coming from the infested straw when the grain is thrashed is stated to
cause serious disturbances of the respiratory tract of man and animals.
Very little information is available about the Indian strains.
(3) Ergot, which grows on rye, is a well known example of a fungus
which produces highly poisonous substances. Some species of this fungus
grow on wild grasses in India and Ergot itself has been grown in this
country for medicinal purposes.
(4) The poisonous nature of the seeds of darnel (Lolium temu-
lentum I/inn.), a grass and annual weed cultivated especially in northern
India, is believed to be due to a fungus, and cases of poisoning due to
admixture of the seeds with wheat grains are not infrequently reported in
India and abroad. Cases of death among livestock have also been
reported.
(5) Moulds. Very variable data are available as regards the poiso-
nous effects of mouldy food stuffs in India, but there appears to be little
doubt that the presence of certain species may occasionally produce harm-
ful effects in man and animals. Species of Mucor, Aspergillus, Penicillium
and Fusarium, etc. deserve special investigation in this connection. It
appears, however, that there is an appreciable difference in the sus-
ceptibility of different species of animals to the effects of mouldy food-
stuffs. In general it has been stated that horses, dogs and pigs are more
susceptible than ruminants and poultry, while in other animals the case
may be the reverse. Very little information is available about the toxicity
of moulds occurring in India and the problem requires a thorough investi-
gation because of its great economic importance. In the meantime it
would be safer to consider all fungus-infected food-stuffb as deleterious. Acute
poisoning with the moulds is rarely met with and if they are taken in small
quantities there is hardly any danger. Mouldy food should however be
avoided. It is worthy of note that some of these fungi are the source of
powerful antibiotic substances such as penicillin from Penicillium notatum,
fumigaen from Aspergillus fumigattus, calvicin from Aspergillus clavatus,
etc. A large amount of work is now being done in this country in connec-
tion with antibiotics from local strains of these organisms.
(iii) Mushrooms or fleshy fungi. The third group of the poisonous
fungi belongs to the mushroom class. A number of these are edible and
many occurring in India are indiscriminately eaten by people and if pro-
perly cooked few produce serious toxic effects. Cases of fungus poison-
ing, however, are not infrequently met with, particularly in the hills.
Unfortunately very little information is available about the poisonous
fungi growing in this country and inspite of numerous cases of poisoning,
little attention has been paid to the subject.
Stropharia semiglobata (Batsch) Quel. from Khasia hills, Hypholoma
fasiulare (Huds.) Fr. from Darjeeling and Simla and Lactarius vellereua
Fr. from Sikkim are regarded as poisonous. There is also evidence on
record that there exists in Bengal a fungus which closely resembles an edible
variety but which contains amanitine or muscarine, the" poisonous
principle of the foreign Amanda muscaria Pers. There are probably many
more poisonous species that have really been incriminated as poisonous,
but on the whole their number may be small and indeed if properly cooked
55
only a few are dangerous. If washed in water and macerated in vinegar
before cooking, and if eaten with plenty of bread there is almost no
danger in most cases. The safest method, however is to learn to
recognize the edible species and never to eat a fungus until its identity
is certain.
Some of the foreign poisonous fungi, e.g. Lepiota eristata Quel.
Volvaria gloicephala Gill., Amanita mwcaria Pers. and Amanita phalloides
Seer, are well known. The last-mentioned is responsible for perhaps 90
per cent, of the deaths caused by fungus poisoning in Europe, Great
Britain and U.S.A. During the World Wars, when food scarcity became
acute in Germany and Austria, poisoning from fungi appreciably increased.
According to Ford there are four main types of mushroom intoxi-
cation : (i) Gastro-intestinal type in which the attack ceases when the
stomach is emptied. (2) General catharsis which is painless. (3) Violent
vomiting and pain but no involvement outside the gastro-intestinal tract.
(4) Choleriform type producing widespread degeneration of cells. With
regard to edible fungi it may be stated here that the nutrition value of
mushrooms is small, their chief value being their flavour and the feeling of
satiation they produce. The following is a list of mushrooms met with
in India :
Agaricut compestris Linn. The Mushroom; (Sans. Chattrak;
Kash. Manskhel; Beng.-Banger chhata; Sant. Ot : Bomb. Alombe).
Generally in damp debris throughout India during rainy season; universally
eaten fresh or dried.

Pradesh. On wood.
P. fimbriatus Bolt. C. P. and Berar.
Polyporus squamosus (Huds) Fr. Darjeeling, 7,500 ft.; Pangi,
N.W. Himalayas. On dead wood.
Truffles. Stewart describes some being found in Kashmir. Badhwar
has recently collected some blackish-brown ones from the Kagan valley
locally known as 'usri'. They are highly flavoured and their presence in
the soil isMiscovered by the villagers by smell in September-October when
they are "said to develop the flavour best. Goats are also said to dig out
some; during grazing and eat them. (Also see Melanogaster durissiums
abovg).
Volvaria dipiasia Berk & Broome. (Beng.-Pawal-chhatta). Bengal,
Burma.
V. terrestria Berk & Broome. (Beng. - Poal-chhattea). Bengal.
prow,s on heaps of waste paddy straw.
In addition Stewart mentions another species as being freely eaten
in the Punjab, which is known as 'shirian' in the Jhelum and 'batbakri' in
the Kair valley. It is a thin, flat ragged-looking fungus, yellow above and
with white gills below, which is found on dead' trees in various parts of the
Punjab Himalayas at altitudes of 8,000 to 8,500 ft. He also mentions an
underground mushroom' of doubtful species 'found near Multan called
'boinphar.
So far as the Poisonous Mushrooms are concerned little information
is available. The following is a list of mushrooms which are known to be
poisonous;- ^
57
POISONOUS FUNGI
Very little information is available regarding the Indian poisonous
fungi. From time to time cases of fungus poisoning are reported but, it is
to be regretted that little or no attention has been paid to the subject
Stropharia semiglobata (Batsch) Quel. from Khasia Hills.
Hypholoma fasciculare (Huds). Fr. from Darjeelmg and Simla and
LaUariits vellerens Fr. from Sikkim, are regarded as poisonous. There is
also evidence on record that there exists in Bengal a fungus which closely
resembles an edible form but which contains amanitine or muscarine, the
poisonous principle of Amanita muscaria by eating which, symptoms closely
resembling those of intoxication rapidly ensure. Furthermore, mucor has
been regarded as a harmful in India since ages, and the pickles and all
edible stuff attacked by it are not thought fit for eating.
There are, however, some foreign fungi which are definitely reported
to be poisonous.
Amanita phalloides. The death cap is responsible for perhaps 90 per
cent of the deaths caused by fungus poisoning in Europe, England and
U. S. A. IHs the most dangerous fungus known and very small quantities
will cause intense suffering and often death. There are indeed, several
other species of the genus that are very poisonous, e. g., Amanita muscaria
-fly agaric and A. pantheriana - warted agaric, etc. which are intensely
poisonous.
Lepiota cristata - crested agaric, and several other small species of
I/epiota are regarded with suspicion and should be avoided. Volvaria
gloiocephala - glutinous agaric and its allied mushrooms have always been
regarded as poisonous, but there is recent evidence that they may be eaten
without ill effects.
Psalliota xanthoderma - yellow staining mushroom has caused illness
in some cases.
(d) Lichens. Very little is known about these symbiotic organisms
which consist of algal cells enveloped by the mycelium of the fungus
forming a felted mass. Although this group is not to be regarded as a
serious menace to livestock, cases of poisoning due to Parmelia and Greta-
ria species, etc. are mentioned in foreign literature. Parmelia molliuscula
has been said to effect sheep and cattle, producing lack of coordination of
the hind limbs. In more severe cases the animal lies down and is unable
to move either its front or hind limbs. lyittle or no information is avail-
able about lichens in India and even their systematic botany has not been
sufficiently worked out.
(e) Bryophyta (Liverworts and Mosses). This is the least-known
group of plants from the view-point of poisoning and there is little to be
said about it.
(f) Pteridophyta (Vascular Cryptogams). This group includes ferns
and allied plants but unfortunately little or no work has been done in
India with regard to their toxicity. Greshoff and others have reported
58
the presence of hydrocyanic acid in a number of ferns, especially wheii
young. References to the supposed poisonous properties of the bracken
fern (Pteris aquilina) have appeared in the literature for a long time, and
Stockman in great Britain showed that it is poisonous to cattle when eaten
in considerable quantities. The plant is found in India. Aspidium filix-
mas, the male fern, is suspected of being poisonous. The roots are used in
medicine and large quantities of it produce haemorrhagic gastro-enteritis,
tremors, weakness, stupor coma, acute nephritis, and cystitis. Six drachms
of the oleoresin have proved fatal in man and three ounces in the cow.
This fern is not found in India, but there are several other foreign species
of Aspidium which are also suspected of being poisonous. The present
authors have examined Indian representatives of these plants. Some
foreign species of Osmund a, Davallia and Adiantum are also suspected of
being poisonous and medicinally active. The following ferns growing in
the North Western Himalayas have been examined and found to be active
as anthelmintics.

Some of the foreign species of Equisetum (horsetail) have long been
recognized in foreign countries as injurious to cattle and horses. They
produce an intoxication in which the animals stagger about and wander
aimlessly. There is no information available in India with regard to the
Indian horsetail Equisetum arvense, but several European and American
workers are convinced that it is definitely poisonous to horses, while others
hold a contrary opinion. This plant grows commonly in certain places
in India where it might be a menace to livestock.
CHAPTER VIII.
II. TOXICOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PHANEROGAMS
(THE FLOWERING PLANTS)
After having given a very brief survey regarding the toxicological
aspects of the Cryptogamic flora we will now take up the Phanerogams or
the flowering plants. Economically this is the most important group ootn
for man and animals from the point of view of everyday nec ^J* ie ? li I
life, e.g., food, medicines, etc. It is probably on account of this tnat
more information is available with regard to this group.
From a toxicological point of view the Phanerogams may be divided
into two main groups.
i. PLANTS POISONOUS TO MAN AND LIVESTOCK.
(a). Medicinal Plants :-Primitive man in the quest for food must
have come across plants containing poisonous principles by accident ana
by experience must soon have learned to avoid them. He even made use
of them for the purpose of fighting against his enemies and for P ro tf in S
his food by killing animals with them. On the whole, our knowledge is
fairly well advanced so far as the relationship of poisonous plants have
been used for criminal purposes from ancient times but the majority 01
them are used as medicinal agents for the amelioration of human suttermg.
It is well known that many plants that are harmful to life m large quan-
tities, produce remarkably beneficial effects in small regulated doses m
disease conditions. From the economic point of view, the abundance ot
this group of plants in our midst is of very great importance m as mucn as
it provides us with medicinal agents of every description, not only sum-
cient for our own use but also for purposes of export. We have already
given brief review of the work done on this group.
(b). Poisonous to livestock. The second important aspect of these
plants is in connection with other countries, our knowledge is very meagre.
In India, there are hundreds of plants that are intimately connected with
the food supply of the bovine population such an essential factor m
connection with agriculture and food supply. The fodder required for
this livestock amounts to about fifty million maunds daily (excluding the
concentrates that are in use). Even in its present unsatisfactory condi-
tion, the cattle industry contributes very largely to the annual agri-
cultural income of this vast country. Its welfare is therefore of the
utmost importance. There is no doubt that the mortality among cattle
through poisoning in India is very large. Unfortunately no figures are
available of the loss suffered on this account but it must be enormous.
Even in a country like the United States of America where know-
ledge with regard to Poisonous Plants is well advanced as compared to
India, great losses are incurred every year through the poisoning of cattle.
The loss occuring in this sub-continent can thus be imagined.
5Q
6o
Though the number of plants which are known to have markedly
poisonous properties is perhaps small as compared with the total species
included in the Indian floras, there are many which are of common occur-
rence and which no doubt produce serious losses by death or illness among
sheep, cattle and other domestic animals. The toxic effects produced may
be indicated by reduction in the yield of milk, the milk may become
unpalatable through excretion in it of toxic products, or it may even
become unfit for consumption. Some time even the meat of these animals
becomes poisonous.
It may be stated here that animals do not instinctively select toxic
plants as forage, that all classes of livestock are not necessarily equally
susceptible to the same poisonous plants, that not all poisonous plants are
dangerous from their initial appearance up to maturity and that in some
the animals do acquire a depraved appetite for harmful plants, especially
when the fodder supply is scarce, a condition which is of frequent
occurrence in many parts of India. The losses in many cases may be
avoided by increasing our knowledge about these plants.
Prevention. The question arises as to what should be done to pre-
vent poisoning by plants. The adage 'prevention is better than cure 1 is
applicable to the problem of plant poisoning with just as much force as in
other spheres. Often cases are brought to notice when the symptoms have
developed and the poison has already circulated in the blood stream and
has done irreparable damage to the system. Increased knowledge of the
poisonous plants is the first step in this direction and this is sure to have
an effect in decreasing fatalities among human beings and livestock. It is
for this reason that Indian Council of Agricultural Research and Indian
Council of Medical Research have encouraged research on this group.
Keeping the animals always as far as possible from dangerous areas and
exercising special care during periods of drought are likely to decrease
the mortality amongst livestock. Eradication of poisonous plants
is a difficult matter, involving an enormous amount of labour and capital,
but wherever and whenever possible it should be resorted to. This
depends upon the habits of the particular plant. Such plants may be
annual, biennial or perennial herbs, or shrubs or trees. Annuals should be
pulled out of dug out before seeding and biennials may be dealt with as
the annuals. Perennial are propagated both by the seeds and by the
underground organs, such as tubers, rootstocks, bulbs, etc. and may be dug
out if not deeply rooted. Shrubs are woody perennials and should be cut
down or dug out. Cutting down of lower branches of trees within the
reach of animals or children is advocated.
The indiscriminate importation of ornamental plants has recently
increased the number of poisonous plants in India. Some of these do not
find much competition in their adopted home and are likely to spread in
this country at an enormously rapid pace. The time is now ripe to agitate
for a law prohibiting the importation of poisonous plants for gardens or to
take measures to forbid the cultivation of those already introduced. The
foodstuff dealers should make sure that adulteration is not practised either
with poisonous plants or with plants whose properties are doubtful. Recent
work in connection with the causation of epidemic dropsy has shown that
in some epidemics, mustard oil adulterated with <katakar' oil from the
seeds of Argemone mexicana I*inn., the mexican poppy or 'Shialkata', was.
the cause of the outbreak.
6i
Food Poisons. There is a number of common articles of food which
produce poisoning in man and animals and a brief reference may be made
to these.
(1) Khesari dal, Lathyrus sativus Linn., an important article of
diet in man and animals, has been responsible for a large number of cases
of poisoning under certain conditions in man, cattle, sheep, pigs, horses,
pigions, ducks etc. Examples of lathy rism in man in the form of spastic
paralysis are commonly seen every day in the streets of Calcutta and
towns in Bihar and its toxic effects in horses and cattle are well known.
Moderate amounts of this pulse can be taken with impunity, but large
amounts, especially to the exclusion of other fodders or foods, produce
poisoning,
(2) Grasses (Gramineae) form an important part of the food of
animals. Some of these develop dangerously large quantities of hydro-
cyanic acid under certain climatic and soil conditions especially at times
of drought or when the plants are wilting, stunted or young. Unfortu-
nately our knowledge of Indian grasses in this connection is meagre and it
is not possible to estimate the losses in livestock from this source.
The common Jowar (Sorghum vulgare Pers.), the Indian millet, is
largely cultivated as fodder for cattle and also for human food. It has
caused serious outbreaks of poisoning among livestock when wilted or
stunted under drought conditions. Sorghum halepense Pers. , a tall peren-
nial grass, with creeping rhizomes and numerous suckers, known as
Johnson grass, grows all over India under the name of 'baru' in Hindi and
'Kala-mucha' in Bengali. It has been responsible for serious losses among
livestock during recent years in the North- Western parts of India. It has
been stated that the amount of hydrocyanic acid in these plants decreases
with the age of the plant but never entirely disappears. The points to be
remembered about these grasses are that they are dangerous during wilting
and under conditions of draught, that the younger and more succulent ones
are often more likely to contain lethal doses of hydrocyanic acid and
that if well dried, these plants are generally not dangerous. The toxicity
in the case of cyanogenetic compounds depends on the quantities of
hydrocyanic acid liberatedj and according to the amount and speed at
which they are eaten. Often such large quantities are given that the
animal will die before any veterinary aid can be given. The only remedy
is prevention. The problem of poisonous grasses is of great economic
importance in certain parts of India where rains often fail and drought
conditions prevail.
The workers of the Drug Research Laboratory have been engaged
in carrying a survey of grasses occurring in the North Western Himalayan
Region. About 150 different species have been collected and are now
.being studied with regard to their nutritive values and possible poisonous
properties. A number of poisonous grasses have been discovered which
the cattle of these parts instinctively avoid, but new-comer gets poisoned.
Stipa siberica commonly growing on hills round Kashmir Valley is an
example and there are others.
(3) The linseed plant, Linum usitatissimum Ljnn., contains a cyanoge-
netic glucoside, the maximum amount of which is reached very early in the
development of the plant and finally disappears, except in the seed, which
62
still contains small quantities. An oil is expressed from the seeds and the
remaining cakes are used to feed livestock. Cases of poisoning have been
frequently reported amongst animals feeding on this plant. It is unsafe
to feed the cattle on the immature plant, especially when it is wilted. The
cake after extraction of the oil should be treated with boiling water to
destroy the enzyme responsible for liberating hydrocyanic acid from the
glucoside, and should not be soaked in cold water overnight. It should
be given only in small quantities at a time.
(4) The mustard cake which is fed to cattle after the extraction of
oil may produce chronic irritant poisoning, colic, lassitude, etc., if fed in
large amounts and over prolonged periods on account of the liberation of
an essential oil by the action of an enzyme on the glucoside contained
therein.
(5) Several members of the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae) are
edible but bitter varieties are occasionally met with. l A he latter have a
strong purgative action and should be discarded. Incidentally it may be
remarked that most of the wild members of the family are toxic.
Colocynth which is a powerful intestinal irritant is a familiar example.
The bitter members of this family have more or less a similar action.
(6) The potato, Solanum tuberosum Linn., when sprouting, pro-
duces dangerously large quantities of the toxic alkaloid, solanine, and
must be thrown away. Certain plants, such as buck-wheat (Fagopyrum
esculentum Moench.) is largely cultivated for human and animal consumption,
under certain conditions not yet fully understood, become toxic and give
rise to inflammatory swellings of the face, eyelids and ears.

CHAPTER IX
We have studied the literature on Indigenous Systems of Medicine as
practiced in India with a view to find out the uses to which different
medicinal plants have been put in the treatment of various important
diseases. For instance certain plants have the reputation of being effec-
tive in the treatment of bowel diseases particularly dysentery and cholera.
Others are said to be useful in the treatment of prolonged fevers such as
the group of enteric fever. Certain other plants are alleged to be
effective in the treatment of tuberculosis ( pulmonary ). Yet another
group is considered to have action on genital organs and emenagogue and
abortifacient properties are attributed to them. Investigation on some
of these plants has been carried out and brief summaries of the results
achieved are given. Others marked with an asterisk have not been
investigated so far and will form a field for research for the investigators.
Besides these certain plants are considered to have insecticidal and
insect-repellent properties and another allied group is toxic to fishes.
These, as has been already indicated, are a very important group from
point of view of control of insect and other pests which do incalculable
harm to man, livestock and agricultural crops.
The object of giving these lists is to bring these to the notice of those
who are interested in indigenous drugs. To the lay public these will be of
general interest, as they will find many names of common plants growing
at their very door which have been considered effective in the treatment
of common ailments and are household remedies. For the research worker
these lists will open up a field for investigation and will give an idea as
to the avenues in which investigations might be directed.

CHAPTER X.
Bibliography
In the first edition of The Review, a list of the papers published
on the subject under the Indian Council of Medical Research (formerly
Indian Research Fund Association) was given. As the scope of the
present review has been widened to include all the work done on Indian
Indigenous Drugs anywhere, the question of including a comprehensive
and if possible a complete bibliography for the new edition was discussed
and agreed to by the Secretary Indian Council of Medical Research. In
view of the fact that no such bibliography has so far been published and
also because this subject has been assuming increased importance both in
India and abroad, it was decided that a comprehensive bibliography should
form a particular feature of the present edition, inspite of the fact that
size of volume would be considerably increased.
During the last 3 or 4 decades the subject of Indian Indigenous
Drugs has received considerable attention of many of the scientific workers
in this country and their papers have been published in various journals
in India and elsewhere. The subject has interested many foreign workers
also who have made very important contributions in foreign scientific
journals. An attempt has been made to get all the references together,
particularly of the work done on the plants of Indian origin. This is a
special feature of the bibliography which is given in this Chapter.
To facilitate consultation by workers references have been arranged
plant-wise (which are given in alphabetical order,) and in sequence of years
in which the papers have been published. In order to attract the imme-
diate attention of the workers the un-orthodox method of giving the title
of the paper first and names of authors afterwards has been adopted.
Abbreviations of the journals used are also given in a separate list.
The inclusion of all the available bibliography in the present volume
has involved considerable labour and careful sifting. It is hoped that it
will be useful to those who wish to consult the previous work done when
taking up a plant for investigation. It is by no means such an exhaus-
tive bibliography as we would have wished but it is hoped that it may
serve as a first compilation of its kind which can be gradually added to.
