Pharmacognostic Study of the Root and Rhizome of Parnassia Nubicola Wall. Ex Royle (Fam. : Parnassiaceae), a Species Used as 'Mamira'
Abstract
A survey conducted in the neighbourhood of Kedamath and the adjoining area brought to light that the wayside traders employ roots and rhizomes of Parnassia nubicola Wall, ex Royle (Pamassiaceae) as ‘Mamira’, reputed to be good for various eye ailments. The roots of this species look similar in gross appearance to those of Thalictrum foliolosum DC. (Ranunculaceae), which is one of the various species that have been attributed to 'Mamira' (Chopra et al. 1956). The present paper deals with a detailed pharmacognosy of the root and rhizome of Parnassia nubicola Wall, ex Royle.Downloads
