Caesulia axillaris Roxb. Young leaves

A glabrous erect or decumbent herb, distributed almost throughout India in

marshy places. It is a less common wild edible used only by tribals of Melghat region

(Distt. Amravati) in Vidarbha. The fresh young herb is cooked with rice and eaten by

the tribals of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa (Anonymous 2002).

For analysis young tender leaves were collected from marshy places around

the ponds.

Celosia argentea L. Young leaves

A common, weed throughout India. Occasionally ascending up to 5000 feet’s

in the Himalayas. Found in cultivated fields, hedges, open places, river banks. Very

commonly used as vegetable and also cultivated in many parts of world

Common wild vegetable used throughout Vidarbha. Plants growing along the

stream with ample anthocyanin (stems red and leaves with dark red streaks ) are

preferred by locals. Same material was collected for analysis.

Chlorophytum tuberosum (Roxb.) Young leaves

Found in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal

extending into Peninsular India up to an altitude of 1,350 m. Usually leaves and tubers

are used as food. Tubers are collected during July-August. Leaves were found to be

used widley in Vidarbha region.

Schleichera oleosa (Lour) Oken. Young leaves.

It is a medium size to large deciduous to evergreen tree, distributed throughout

Indo-Malaysian region. It is an excellent host for lac-insect and the seeds yield the

Macassar oil (Anonymous 2003).

In India it is usually found in the sub-Himalayan tract from Kashmir to West

Bengal and in Central and Peninsular India, especially in the moist localities. One of

the fine shade bearer and frost and drought hardy tree. Tender leaves, fruit and seed

oil is used by the local people. For present study only tender leaves are selected for

analysis.

Bombax ceiba L. Flowers.

In Peninsular India, the tree is very common in the dry and moist, mixed

deciduous forests. In West Bengal and Assam, it is found in the mixed evergreen

forests also. The tree grows in the mixed deciduous forests in the sub-Himalayan

region and lower valleys. Generally scarce in the hilly region. It is very common in

the Bhabar tracts of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. It also found on Satpura ranges on hard

trap. The trees are grown along avenues.

Flowers of of B. ceiba L. are sweet and juicy; while tubers are starchy, testing

like sweet potato. Though this wild edible finds use only in Yavatmal district of

Vidarbha, it is eaten in many other parts of India.

For phytochemical studies only flower material was selected since collection

of root tubers would have been a destructive activity. This fact also was tried to be

explained to people digging out root tubers.

Cassia fistula L. Flowers.

The tree is one of the most widespread occurring in deciduous forests of India.

It is common throughout the Gangetic valley, Central India and South India. The tree

is not gregarious, but is scattered in mixed, deciduous forests, it occurs frequently in

sal forests. It is often cultivated in the gardens.

It is widely used as edible (leaves, flowers, fruits) throughout India. In

Vidarbha region only flowers are found to be used in Amravati, Yavatmal and

Washim district.

Oroxylum indicum (L.) -Flower

A genus of trees found in Indo-Malaysian region and China.

A medium sized deciduous tree found throughout the greater part of India up

to an altitude of 1,200 meters; present mostly in ravines and moist places in the forests

and rare in the Western drier regions.

Young shoots are eaten as vegetable. Fruits are used in Haryana and Nicobar;

while flowers are used as vegetable in Darjeeling Distt. In Vidarbha it was found to

be used in Nagpur Distt. only.
