Re: [efloraofindia:44564] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[Pankaj Oudhia]

The thread is of Elephant Apple tree, Raghu ji and we are talking about
everything from leeches to different systems of medicine and Taxonomy but
not this Elephant Apple tree.

Last night I was searching my CGBD i.e. database on Chhattisgarh
Biodiversity, I found a formulation based on Chalta bark decoction with
Karra and Bhirha bark decoction for protection from Leeches and insects
while working in forest.

There are tens of versions of this formulation used in different parts of my
state for the same purpose.

Now we are Back to Chalta i.e. Dillenia.

Re: [efloraofindia:44562] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[Pankaj Oudhia]

There is an option. In place of carrying so many protection tools one
can travel with senior Traditional Healers aware of treatment of every
problem. I feel ashamed while walking with full protective measures and they
walk in front even without country shoes. Madhav Gadgil ji has truely named
them as Bare Foot Taxonomists.

Once we were on foot in forest and met Leopard (Tendua). Without any delay I
tried to climb on Sterculia urens tree by fear, ignoring the fact that
Leopard is also a good climber. Due to protective meausres and smooth trunk
I failed. The Healer remained still and showed to Leopard that Sterculia is
his territory, and he is not ready to surrender. After few long minutes
Leopard changed the path.

I visit to forest with my long jungle torch generally used by American
police. It is of no use in protection from wild elephants, sloth bear,
leopard and even leeches.

Re: [efloraofindia:44557] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[Pankaj Kumar]

This thread reminds me of one very hilarious discussion with eminent
taxonomists. Mr. U.C.Pradhan, Dr. Sarat Misra, Dr. S.P.Vij, Dr. C.Sathish
Kumar, two doctors from Nepal and me and my friend Jeewan were there on a
field work in a oak forest in Pokhara, Nepal. Sathish Sir, all of a sudden
said, "you know Pankaj we all are THIRD CLASS TAXONOMISTS thats why we are
getting leeches". I couldnt make out at first why he said. Then he
explained:

*1st CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: WORKS IN AC ROOM, ASKS HIS OR HER STAFF TO GATHER
INFORMATIONS AND THEN PUBLISHES ON HIS NAME.
*2nd CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: GOES TO FIELD IN A CAR, NEVER GETS OUT, ASSUMES
WHAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE AREA AND PUBLISHES ON HIS NAME, OR SOMETIMES EVEN
PUBLISHES OTHER'S DATA!!
*3rd CLASS TAXONOMISTS*: GOES TO THE FIELD ON FOOT, DOES HARD LABOUR, MOST
OF THE TIME DOESNT FIND MUCH INFORMATION TO PUBLISH, EVEN IF HE OR HE DOES,
THE ARTICLE GET REJECTED!!

So thanks to all those of our third class taxonomists here, who have the
leech experience and thats just because they go to field and I am glad that
field botany is still alive in India. Inspite of all our personal
differences, I am glad to see on one side, Dr. Gurcharan who has been
contributing pics from his recent trips in J & K; at the same time, Valke
sir, who is a non botanists, still goes to field collect informations and
shares them here. This is really a nice place to be.

So, LONG LIVE LEECH EXPERIENCES!! till those experiences are there, it means
we are going to field.

Secondly, precaution can always help you from keeping away from such things.
LONG SOCKS MADE OF TERECOT could help, wearing full sleeves shirt is always
recommended, hat or cap is useful, put a cotton ball in your ears. Odomos
cream, or tobacco water, or dettol is always helpful as repellent. Please
remember, 50% of the issues are psychological and hence you can get rid of
it by controlling your mind. In dehradun we have leeches inside our campus,
so to get rid of the  apprehension I sometimes used to walk in the forests,
barefooted, at one point of time, I even use to catch some leech and put it
on my arms, to check how it felt when it bites.and gradually I got rid
of this psychological  apprehension. Issues are there only when some of
persons are truly allergic to leech. You cant help in that case!!

Pankaj

Re: [efloraofindia:44554] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[lavkumar khachar]

Dear Friends,

One of the reasons why I hesitate going to the Eastern Himalaya and the
Western Ghats to see the marvellous burst of flora during the rains is the
presence of leeches. I am highly allergic to them though fascinated by them.
While reading through this discussion, which like the leeches themselves is
getting rather bloated (with opinions in place of blood) I just could not
resist adding my bit to all that is being said. Might not white shoes,
socks, leggings as Vijaya is wearing, and trousers help in attracting less
leeches? After all, it is the warmth of the body that triggers them into
action and white will reflect light as against heat. Earlier we were told
that soaking socks in brine kept the pests from climbing on. Might it not be
better than Dettol?

Just an aside to amuse you and nothing to do with leeches: in the
photograph, note the Forest Guard terribly conscious of being in the
photograph standing to attention! We Indians love to be in the picture and
possibly my writing this is metaphorically a result of this national
failure.

Re: [efloraofindia:44548] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[nabha meghani]

Ah, they look like "Gamaschen" to me. We used to wear Gamaschen, when trecking 
in Alps, going thru kneehigh snow. Our Gamaschen had some hook like things, to 
attach them to the boots, they were not pushed into the boots, to prevent the 
snow going into the boots. Somewhat like in the first Foto. 
I had forgotten my Gamaschen totally, must be resting somewhere in a corner. It 
was long long ago, that I used them.

  Dear Vijay shankar ji/All


  We carried antisepic germicidal - Dettol this time in Assam. Later we used 
anti leech socks
  in Arunachal. Leeches can neither penetrate inside not climb up the socks. 
  (Rs. 100/- per pair of anti leech socks). 


  Some time back., I thought of sharing  our leech bite moments in the Western

  Dear Vijayashankar Ji,
  For heavens sake do not go to an alopath for tick allergy. I was once 
stung by a poisonous tick due to which I had a swelling on the feet. I went to 
a doctor after 3 days of swelling. He was a family friend and prescribed avil. 
The swelling immediately subsided. After a month or so, I developed the same 
symptom due to another sting, of which I was not aware. The symptoms were 
terrible, red patches from head to toe, chest pain and a drop in blood 
pressure. I got it treated, however the third time it happened, the reaction 
was so severe that I almost died. The systolic pressure dropped to 45 and I 
could not even stand. The doctors told me that I had to live in a sterilized 
atmosphere or the next time I will be dead before reaching the hospital. My 
Homeopathic doctor just laughed over it and prescribed Arsenicum Album. 
  I am now totally free of the symptoms, we continue to have a lot of ticks 
in the summer due to my deers but nothing happens to me now. I have never 
visited an alopath since then.
  Regards
  Yazdy.

I am allergic to ticks. the bitten spots will be itching for a month or

related allergies. Ticks are plenty (sometimes rains from twigs in hundreds 
when you shake the branch/leaves while walking in the forest) in dry forests 
and grasslands. 

However i am not allergic to leeches. But if once i see them on me, i 
can't concentrate in my work in the field, will spend lot of time in checking 
for and removing them. Will always feel like leeches climbing on and entering 
into the socks, bleeding, etc etc. so frequently check the shoes and inside 
socks. Not yet developed the resistence in mind, will have to learn from people 
like Yezdi ji, Pankaj...

Thanks Neil ji for the useful tips. Hope Oudhia ji also will come up 
with his own experience and traditional herbal remedy for the problem.

Re: [efloraofindia:44536] Elephant Apple tree in the rain forest

[Yazdy Palia]

Dear Dr. Neil Soares,
I did not know that I was provoking someone. If I have inadvertently
offended you, please excuse me. I did not know that you were an Alopathic
Doctor. I only stated a fact. The Physician briefed me that the very nature
of an allergen is that the next time one is attacked by the same agent, the
body recognizes it and starts destroying the cells as it identifies the
agent present in the body as such one could get very severe reaction. He had
advised me not to step into my farm. When I told him that I have  a dog and
he may bring the agent into the house, the doctor asked me to get rid of the
dog. I told him that I had fowls and they move around freely in my farm and
they could bring the agent close to my house and he asked me to get rid of
the fowls.
He went to the extent of narrating a movie on AXN where the protagonist had
to ultimately move around in some kind of a space suite so that he would not
get stung by a bee. He gave me a couple of tablets and stated that as soon
as the reaction starts, I was to take the tablets and rush to the hospital.
If I am slightly late, I would not reach the hospital.
I have not thought of what I would do if I am bitten by a venomous snake.
Most probably someone would take me to an hospital.
However dear doctor, I know quite a few MBBS  and MD's practising Homeopathy
in Bombay. If you ever go to Sion, you will come across a Dr. Habbu cirlce.
You will find the Jr. Dr .Habbu who is a qualified Alopathic doctor who is
practicing Homeopathy and people stand for 2 hours in the Que to get a token
to see him. He has an associate who is also an MD. They are very successful
Homeopathic practitioners.
It appears you have a poor opinion of Homeopathy. My humble suggestion
please make a little study.
I am no expert, in fact my knowledge is bare minimum, but I know a little
about it.
One of my relatives had multy system failure and her daughter arranged for
the lawyer to prepare her last will after a leading hospital in Mysore
advised that the lady is in her last stages, she could barely breathe, her
entire body was bloated up due to edema, her heart was barely functioning.
One of my friends gave her a mixture of Homeopathy medicine and within 10
minutes she was breathing normally, by morning her edema was reduced, her
kidneys started functioning and her daughter who arrived with the lawyer in
the morning was stunned to see her sitting on the dining table having a cup
of tea.
It is over a year now and the lady is still alive.
I would advise people to see a doctor for anything else but for an allergy,
I would never advise anyone to see an Allopath. This is not to provoke
anyone but in the interest of a human being. I was so bad, I could not
stand, I could not hold my bowel movement as people carried me to the
toilet. My systolic was 45. I did not want anyone else to go through this
nightmare.
Please do not take it as an offence.
Regards
Yazdy.

Hi Mr.Yazdy Palia,
 I did not want to respond to your provocation, but I was just wondering 
if, God forbid, you were to be bitten by a venomous snake would you still 
consult the same homeopath [or would you simply take double the dose of the 
Arsenic]?
 With regards,

Dear Vijayashankar Ji,
For heavens sake do not go to an alopath for tick allergy. I was once stung by 
a poisonous tick due to which I had a swelling on the feet. I went to a doctor 
after 3 days of swelling. He was a family friend and prescribed avil. The 
swelling immediately subsided. After a month or so, I developed the same 
symptom due to another sting, of which I was not aware. The symptoms were 
terrible, red patches from head to toe, chest pain and a drop in blood 
pressure. I got it treated, however the third time it happened, the reaction 
was so severe that I almost died. The systolic pressure dropped to 45 and I 
could not even stand. The doctors told me that I had to live in a sterilized 
atmosphere or the next time I will be dead before reaching the hospital. My 
Homeopathic doctor just laughed over it and prescribed Arsenicum Album. 
I am now totally free of the symptoms, we continue to have a lot of ticks in 
the summer due to my deers but nothing happens to me now. I have never visited 
an alopath since then.
Regards
Yazdy.

Hello friends,
I do not use any leech guard, we just get bitten, they suck and drop
by themselves. It bleeds for some time and then stops. We have plenty
of them now, it will increase during the north east monsoon. If you
try to stop the bleeding, some irritation on the spot occurs which can
last for a few months. Not harmful in any way.
It bleeds as long as the sputum remains in the wound and then stops by
itself. However, tobacco juice is a very safe way of preventing the
leeche

Dear Vijay shankar ji/All

We carried antisepic germicidal - Dettol this time in Assam. Later we used anti 
leech socks
in Arunachal. Leeches can neither penetrate inside not climb up the socks. 
(Rs. 100/- per pair of anti leech socks). 

Some time back., I thought of sharing  our leech bite moments in the Western 
ghats. Will do it soon.

Raghu

Re: [efloraofindia:44521] Flower for ID140810MN

[Gurcharan Singh]

It is good we have seen the authentic specimens of Clerodendrum serratum. I
had uploaded a similar looking plant from Delhi on January 12, which some
members had identified as this species and some as Caryopteris odorata. I
have resurfaced the same today again so that new members can have a look at
that. To me my plant now should be identified as Caryopteris odorata now
correctly known as Pseudocaryopteris bicolor. Your opinion is sought on that
post.

Strangely there was only one specimen of this tree in that location.
The fragrance was heavenly, that's how we were able to find the plant.

shrub common during monsoon its tender leaves are used as vegetable which are 
slightly bitter in taste.

Hi,

This plant was seen at Panaroma Point in Matheran, Maharashtra. It was growing 
near the edge on the left side near Panaroma Point. 
The flowers had a fragrance reminiscent of Mango blossoms. The photo was taken

Any help in its identification is appreciated.

Re: [efloraofindia:44496] Re: Please Identify this Bauhinia species

[Kenneth Greby]

 I don't believe that this is B. punctata (B. galpinii), which is more of a 
scrambler or arching shrub. I have seldom seen them taller than 15'/m, with 
support. Also, B. punctata lacks the colored new foliage shown, as well as 
having a more rounded leaf. 


 I do not recognize this species, at least from the pictures.

Ken.
