It is a pioneer species with a short life span. The plant is used in the traditional medicines of various peoples.
Description
[ edit ]
This tree has leaves that are either coarsely dentate, serrate or crenate, prominently-lobed subglobose fruit some 10 x 8–12 mm in size, and peltate/shield-like indumentum (hair covering on the plant), with rays of scales radiating in 1 plane (at least 80% webbing, rays free of such for only some 20% of total length).[2]
Distribution
[ edit ]
This species is native to Mainland Southeast Asia, southern Yunnan (Zhōngguó/China) and the Indian subcontinent.[1] Countries and regions in which it occurs include: Thailand; Cambodia; Vietnam; Zhōngguó/China (southern Yunnan); Laos , Myanmar; India (including Assam ); Bangladesh; East Himalaya; Sri Lanka
Habitat and ecology
[ edit ]
The tree is a pioneer species, with a short lifespan.[3]
The tree is a pollen source for stingless bee species in the Lepidotrigona , Tetragonilla and Tetragonula genera at Nam Nao National Park , Phetchabun Province , northern Thailand.[4]
The tree occurs in bamboo-deciduous forest and deciduous dipterocarp-oak forest in the park.
In the utilized edge of montane evergreen forest of Doi Suthep–Pui National Park , Chiang Mai Province , northern Thailand, the dominant species were Glochidion lanceolarium , Litsea beusekomii , Schima wallichii , Erythrina stricta , Macaranga indica , Staphylea cochinchinensis , C. persimilis , Pinus kesiya , Litsea martabanica , and Clausena excavata .[3]
This is a host plant for the Eriophyoidea mite Cosella crotoni in Thailand.[5]
The plant is the most abundant tree in the peripheral zone of Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary , Odisha , India, it was pervasive in the buffer zone, but of far lesser presence in the core zone. These zones reflected human interference in the landscape.[6]
Other abundant trees in the peripheral zone were Shorea robusta , Glochidion lanceolarium , Caesalpinia digyna , Ziziphus oenoplia , Syzygium cumini and Stereospermum tetragonum . In the buffer zone, apart from C. persimilis , other abundant trees were Holarrhena pubescens , Macaranga peltata , S. robusta , Terminalia alata , and Pongamia pinnata .
Vernacular names
[ edit ]
ទុំៃូង, thom pung are names for this species in Khmer language .[7]
plao yai , and รากเปล้าใหญ่ are names used in Thailand for this plant.[8] [9]
Uses
[ edit ]
The leaves of the species are used in Thai traditional medicine for postpartum (after childbirth) care.[8]
The bark and leaves, at times boiled, are used to treat a variety of ailments in Na Siao subdistrict , Chaiyaphum Province , northern Thailand.[9]
Villagers living on the plateau of Phnom Kulen National Park , Siem Reap Province , northwestern Cambodia, use dried pieces of the trunk and branches to make a "green tea" to treat stomachache, and use the wood-chips mixed with other plants in a decoction for postpartum care.[7]
Four ethnic groups living in the Wayanad District , Kerala , India, the Kattunaikkan, Kuruchiyar , Mullakuruman, and Adiyan people, use the plant to treat inflammation.[10]
History
[ edit ]
The species was first described in 1865 by the Swiss botanist Johann Müller (1828–96), known in botany (because of his sharing a quite common name) as Johannes Müller Argoviensis . He specialized in lichens. The description was published in the journal Linnaea; Ein Journal für die Botanik in ihrem ganzen Umfange , (Berlin).[11]
Justification of the broader spread of this description was published by the Indian botanists T. Chakrabarty and Nambiyath Puthansurayil Balakrishnan in their 2017 publication.[2]
