Firstly, make sure you write down the exact location of where you found the plant, and date, and take photos. If you can't get it expertly identified on the day you remove the plant from its habitat (you might need permission for this) make sure you press it within the hour to remove moisture and prevent microbial attack. It may take some days to be pressed and dried enough ready for a herbarium. If you can take a press out in the field so much the better. This website is very good: http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herbarium/voucher.htm

First of all, you need a botanist.

In my opinion, without these valuable professional, to do serious ethnobotanical research is almost impossible.The botanist will help you to collect, preserve, indentify and detect plants of interest.

I my work, from ethnobotany to natural product chemistry, there is always at least one botanist as co-worker.

so identify it are you know the taxonomic description of plant identification?

hello s kumar u can find ur plants binomial name by senting ur herbarium to BSI or most favorable Botanical gardens or herbaria like Rabinat herbarium, st. joseph' college, trichy, Tamil Nadu. India. here more than 1,20,000 collections of herbarium occur,

and also contact national botanical garden, calcatta

Thanking you sir for your kind suggestion

Hi suman kumar are you going to collect the medicinal plants, if so take the folk healer or the person who is using as a medicine.

Locate the place with GPS reading so that u can collect the same plant in future easily.

You can take the photograph of the plant which will be helpful in identification of specimen if flower is not there ( in some cases) and also for documentation.

You can poison the specimen with 4%HgCl2 in alcohol and press it hard by keeping inbetween the papers (if possible blotting papers otherwise newspaper), and change the papers everyday.

For identification you can take the help of Osmania University professors, they can help you.

All universities in AP is having a branch of Ethnobotany so can get the help from OU, KU professors only. try to contact them.

All the best

Thankyou dear

Thankyou dear

1. From the eminent taxonomist in the botany departments

2. Illustrations on Indian Medicinal Plants by Kirtikar and Basu

3. FRLHT, Bangalore

4. Compendium of medicinal plants by Vorian

5. Regional Herbarium centers

6. BSI (Botanical Survey of India)

7. Now a days in the internet itself you can find botanical name of local names

But most importantly, authentication of the plants used in the research by a Botanist/ Plant Taxonomist or from the BSI is strictly asked by most of the thesis examiners.

Dear Suman,

Please use the following link for a guide to plant collection and identification

http://www.abdn.ac.uk/bale/BinderPlantID.pdf

Once you have the skill for collection and reach to a near by herbarium with your properly collected specimens, either you can do it by your self or you will get the necessary assitance there.

All the best!

hi kumar, first you collect the information from the healers like local name, and how to use. then u collect the specimen of particular plant and maintain herbarium. Then u identify the binomial name with the help of BSI coimbatore, Calcatta and lucknow.

A very good mailing group where you can post photos and ask for guidance with a lot of botanists as members to help you along is

http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/

I second the opinion of Alok Mahendroo ji!

Get a guidance from a senior botanist. Even though if we know the botanical name of the plant; It is difficult to identify the plants by self. For example, Andrographis paniculata, lineata, neesiana etc we need expert identification.

you can refer Materia medica by Dr. Kritikar & Basu.

U cn also follow d Flora of India... will help u allot...

Dear sir,

first you collect the information about that plant details and it uses from the healers. Then you go through literature and collect the plant and maintain herbarium. Identify go through botanist and identify.

Contact your nearest herbarium. Countries sometimes have different language dialects. You need proper identification by taxonomist after collection of plants to confirm local names in that dialect to scientific name. You can also check any written books in your country which have both local names and scientific names of medicinal plants.

Thanks for your mail.

You cannot identify the plant species from local names. When you collect plant species according to collection procedures then you have to search in available flora according to the terminology and description of the identifiable plant species. For that purpose first you will make the key of the available plant in all respect and then to search in relevent family. You can collect and preserve the plant species from any place and locality according to herbarium techniques which is available in many books. When you collect the plant species also note all of the available information in and from field.

don't search by local name. always go with the specimen. first you must do the botanical identification. Faizal is correct.

Identification of plant taxa by local names may not be correct. For collection and herbarium preparation consult "Field and Herbarium technique" by Dr. S.K. Jain and also several basic book on Botany like"Taxonomy of Vascular plants" by Lawrence etc. After plant collection you describe it in details and consult a published local flora, with the help of key to family, genera and species you can identify yourself. If it is not possible then take advice from Botanical survey of India, Southern regional circle at Coimbatore or Deccan circle,BSI, Hyderadabad.

Its so easy, enter the kew botanical gardens with the caracteres of the plants and folow the key, if your plant are the tropical specimens...

Hebariums and botanical gardens are the best route to follow. Some Universities with botany departments keep species vouchers and therefore can assist with positive identification. Local names are desceptive since one name might be used for two different plants depending on the tribe.

Fanyana Mtunzi

Te best (or the only one!) solution could be to work together with a expirienced botanist ...

The local wild plant was identified according to the several books of flora. Identification was confirmed by Prof. of plant Taxonomy, and we make comparison with dried specimens in the herbaria. This study aimed to complete identification of this plant and declare their morphological and anatomical characters.

Macromorphological studies on the plant includethe macromorphological characters for the plant (their seed morphology, systematic position in the plant kingdom, growth stages of the plants, plant height and diameter, number of branches in the plant and length of main root). Macromorphological investigation of the plant was made from living representatives. The plant, which had been collected, was described, dried, poisoned and fixed on herbarium sheets for further studies.

Dear Fatima, just to complete the iter you may need to deposit the herbarium sheets in herbarium listed in "Index herbariorum" http://sciweb.nybg.org/science2/IndexHerbariorum.asp and in this way you could refer the specimens in sci. pub.

thanks Dimitar Uzunov for your comment

Firstly, make sure you write down the exact location of where you found the plant, and date, and take photos.

This website is very good: http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/herbarium/voucher.htm

@ SK, pl go through the basics very well suggested by CB and consult a taxonomist or Herbarium curator in Hyderabad it self for further guidance/identification/help. Or You can visit BSI Herbarium for comparative study/identification of your collection

You can visit the website: www.theplantlist.org. You can also consult the herbarium at Botanical Survey of India at Coimbatore (tamil nadu).

www.tropicos.org is also a good resource. They have links to other websites with information you migth need, such as JSTOR PLANT SCIENCE, the herbarium of paris. In addition, you can also search on www.kew.org (Kew Botanic Gardens). For records you can use the Kew records for plan taxonomy.

you can search for "Selected vernacular names" in the WHO monographs on selected medicinal plants, you can find a botanical name in the definition of the drug and a lot of traditional names in the topic above. for example : http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/d/Js4927e/12.html

the famous herbarium called RABINET HERBRIUM located at Trichy, St. Joseph's college, established by Dr. Mathew, with the help of Kew Botanical Garden. It has a huge collection of tamil nadu and karnatic flora. If you send your herbarium here they will send the name of the plant to.

It is difficult to have botanical names based on the terms used by local or tribal people. Please check it up whether your university or nearbyone has published a dctionary of plants containing vernacular names. One such effort is done by university of Mysore a long back. Otherwise collect the specimen and get the help of a senior botanist in your university

Dear Suman Kumar

I agree with Siddaraju Kothathi. but some extend the locals and tribals can also help you initially. you will get some basis. based on that you can seek your senior botanists, or local bota.herbarium specialist and further to trichy, and Hydrabad famour herbarium. this is the first step to be followed by correctly naming your collected species.

to

Dr.Chandra Mohan · PRIST University ×

Names to Botanical Names Tamil Names Botanical Names Sub Species Variety - very good effort and good collections. this will help for researchers. keep it up doctor

Entry in to reserve forest and collection of plants from the forest is prohibited. Hence you have to take permission from forest department. Herbarium techniques are well explained in any good taxonomy text book. For identification you can send the herbarium to Dr.Shivamurthy, Rtd Professor of Botany, Mysore university who is a very good taxonomist. Good luck

The best way to consult a taxonomist. If not available you can use the google service also, just put the local name in search and it will be sorted out in many numbers of research papers. Secondly plant collection has its own methods. First you have to collect the plant having all the essential parts which are used in the identification, then you need to have blotting paper and a presser with which u can use to preserve the plants. The dried plant must then be mounted on herbarium sheet containing all the information about the plant.

Kindly visit the web, www.indianmedicinalplants.info/370 ,containing list of most useful indian medicinal plants , botonical names and images

The best way to identify local plants with their Botanical name is just following available local flora of particular region. It will definitely help to identify them scientifically......

hello suman,

first you find local names and try to collect plant sample for herbarium. find the binomial with the help of BSI.

I think you must consult local floras, nearby university and forest department.

Refer Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of Indai and 9 vols. of Data base on Medicinal Plants By CCRAS, New Delhi and Quality standards of Indian Medicinal Plants had already published 10 volumes and also Reviews on Indian Medicinal plants up to the alphabet E. It is published by ICMR, New Delhi.

might be useful to you...

This a complete worldwide catalogue

http://plants.usda.gov/java/

You can visit any of the Botanical Survey of India Offices where they also have good library facilities that can help you. Dr. J. C. Kurian

@SK. To add further, I designed and developed a database on common names vs VNames of plants long time back perhaps in 1992. Local Name-Languages covered were Hindi, English, Tel, Tam, San, Mar, Guj. Mar, Ban, Asm, Mal.... Why not you develop such a database and put it on your website. I will help you with my inputs

There is an encyclopaedic book the title of which is like, "Fauna and Flora of India". May be it is of some help to you.

Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India may be referred and the collections of Kirtikar and Basu also has a lot of info.

here are some more links ...

Thanks...

You can refer the regional flora

I will add one more thing to Dr.Tahira Mughal's suggession. After recording the morphological features of the plant and preparing the herbarium for preservation, you can refer Gamble's flora still being followed for the identification of the plants of South India

you may follow the book "Plant Groups" by H. Mukherji ,New Central Book Agency (P) Limited,Culcutta,Where in the Glossary you can found many scientific names of plants with their local names.It is a very Good Book for basic taxonomic researchers.

For Plant of Indian origin the Book " Wealth Of India" is useful.

and also Ayurvedic Pharmacoeipia Of India also helped you for imp plant

There is a book published by the National Academy of Ayurveda, India, a checklist of plants used in Ayurveda in which only medicinal plants are found. But this is useful only to go by botaical name and find the local name or classical name.

From the flora, mostly local flora of district or forest , you follow the index given in the end or in the literature.

Dictionary of Folk Medicines and Ethnobotany- A reference manual of man-plant relationships, ethic groups and ethnobotanist in India By SK Jain and Dictionary of Ethnoveterinary Plants of India by SK Jain, diferrent flors, manuals on ethnobotany will be useful to find out the local names of plants of India.

Medicinal plants of India & Glossary of Indian Medicinal plants are great books.

How to prevent collected plants from microbial attack?? I want to know simple techniques which we can apply outside the laboratory as well.

Use secuteur to collect the plants from the forest. Collect fertile parts i.e flower, leaves and fruits if possible. GPS is used, collect always in duplicate and write note in the field and vouchor nos for each species

Some institution have pharmacopoeia which have common names and vernacular names

tell me please the country or biogeographic zone where you are going to collect the plants. It is for better orientation about of possible and more near herbarium-s

Every region has its local Flora in which the list of vernacular names and botanical names with identical characters are given.

For herbarium preparation you cut the 14X16 inch white card paper. Collect twig of plant has flower and press in newspaper or blotting sheets. Press under some weigh and daily change the paper. It took around 15days to complete dry. After that you poison with mercury chloride dissolved in ethanol and stick on card paper. If you send your photos of plants on my e-mail I will help you in identification.

[email protected]

Is it available in India. Then you can refer Wealth of India Books

The MMPND Multilingual Multinational Plant Names Database has names for plants in very many languages. Check there, you might find yours is there. This is one of the best databases in the world for this subject.

Plants are always collected with flowers, floral parts, and are always collected in duplicates. Notes are written from the field using field notes, notes includes where the plants is collected , habitat, date of collection, whether it is herb , shrub or a tree , the no of the collection

You can find the botanical names in web sites of some instituitions, such as the page of Tropicos of the Misouri Botanical Garden (http://www.tropicos.org/).

From Local Flora and the names may be confirmed @ The Plant List Website.

Hi all

i found some links may will be useful for you ..

Refer Wealth of India (Raw materials)

Suman,

While any particular sample you collect (and collect two! with flower, leaves and all) can in theory be connected to a specific taxon, please remember that local names and Latin names don't work the same way and there will never be an exact correspondence across all plants. Moreover, assuming that the Linnean classifcation is more precise is often a mistake. You need to preserve all the local names as well as looking for good Linnean names. Some will be easy—so Ficus religiosa is a pipal—and some will be very difficult, like local varieties of citrus fruit or clusters of medicinal plants regarded as functional equivalents with the same name which are actually different species. In some cases male and female of the same organism get different local names; in some cases light and dark forms of the same species get different local names.

Good luck!

-WBTD.

Depending upon the Flora of particular region we will able to find the botanical name of the species, also materia media, wealth of india were useful to find the same.

Remashree is right. You can also see the monographs of WHO on single medicinal plants. 4 volumes have been published (http://apps.who.int/medicinedocs/en/) . ICMR has published 11 volumes.

Dear suman. You can find names at the link http://www.ipni.org/ . I am sure you will get some help in this website.

Dear Suman,

Identification of plants can be done in botanical survey of India ,nearby to ur place. or by a taxanomist. it is not advisable to do it with website link.bcz some plant of genera , some family llike rubiceae family plants )are having so close similarities which could not be identified easily by simply comparing ur plant with on line one.

The only scientific way is collect the plant , if u r a botanist can easily identify the family, if not convert the plant in to a herbarium. Care should be taken to preserve all the morphological features, Take the photo of the plant in its habit, record the local name, vernacular name and sent it to the nearest Botanical survey of India regional/ Zonal office... Chargeable

While collecting from forest u can use polythene bags it will serve as a mist chamber for a day or more..then make it herbarium.

You can find local names (= local names) in the floras of each country. For example for Spain Flora Iberica. It is also common to find work on ethnobotany small territories where such information appears.

Dear Suman, Search your local flora. It has index for local names corresponding to the scientific identification.

You can refer Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. In this local names has given in all other languages.

I suggest:

Jain, S. K. & DeFilipps, R. A. (1991). Medicinal Plants of India. Volume I. Reference Publications INC. Michigan.

There will be more than one local names for one plant according to its location and there will be more than one plant for same local name also. example. Pitpapad in Hindi, there are three plants: 1. Oldenlandia corymbosa (Rubiaceae), 2. Fumaria indica, 3. Glossocardia boswellea (Asteraceae). So, it is better that you use local floras to know the botanical name and consult some experts by showing the plants for confirming its identity.

Normally, Botanical survey of the country or region will have the list. Nearby University where you have Botany department will be able to help. Procedure for collecting out lined in practical taxonomy or Herbarium collection manual.

There are numerous books and websites available to get the local name as well as the image of the plant. However many websites use to have some information or image which may be wrong. hence check with any botanist of the local area. he knows the exact name what is being called locally.

There is a lot of information on websites of many Botanical Gardens regarding plant collection and herbarium. Also there is a book published by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London which explains herbarium methology and procedures.....Goodluck
