Histological and Chemical Study on Nepalese Woody Plants

1995年9月6日至11月18日和1996年8月21日至10月25日，分别与6名日本学者和3名尼泊尔学者在热带和亚热带地区进行了尼泊尔木本植物的研究工作。收集到的大约1000个小树皮和木片样本，以及大约3.3万个干燥的草药样本被带到日本进行进一步的研究。用于解剖和化学研究的树皮样本存放在金泽大学药学院，一些用于解剖研究的木材样本存放在东北大学，另一些则存放在兵库市自然与人类活动博物馆。此外，一套完整的草药标本储存在KANP，另一套在东京大学（TI），以及其他相关的草药标本，包括尼泊尔植物资源部（DPR）。值得注意的是，这项研究工作的收集是在尼泊尔的热带地区。虽然尼泊尔南部的平原通常被用作稻田，但有5个以上的国家公园，那里的野生动物被政府保护得很好。我们的研究工作主要是在国家公园和野生动物保护部门的许可下在这些公园进行的。Koshi Tappu野生动物保护区是研究河流森林自然更新的好地方，Baldia野生动物保护区是热带和亚热带植物的栖息地，Shukrapantha野生动物保护区是Shorea森林的栖息地。在这些地区采集的草药标本数量很少，本研究收集的样本对于完成尼泊尔植物区系的研究是非常宝贵的。由于木本植物树皮和木材标本采集困难，对木本植物的组织分类和化学分类等科学研究很少。因此，在市场上，树皮和木材原料药的植物来源很难确定。本研究所收集的样品对进一步开展生药学和分类学的解剖和化学研究具有重要意义。少

The research works on the Nepalese woody plants were carried out with 6 Japanese and 3 Nepalese scholars mainly in the tropical and subtropical areas from Sept.6 to Nov.18 in 1995, and Aug.21 to Oct.25 in 1996. The collected samples of about 1,000 small bark and wood piecies, and about 33,000 dried herbal specimens were brought to Japan for further studies. The bark samples for anatomical and chemical studies are stocked in the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Kanazawa University (KANP), and some of wood samples for anatomical studies in Tohoku Univ.and others in the Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo. Besides, a full set of herbal speciemens are stocked in KANP,and an another set in Tokyo Univ. (TI), and others in relative herbaliums including the Dept.of Plant Resources (DPR) in Nepal.The remarkable thing of this research work is that the collection was made in tropical zone of Nepal. Though the southern plains in Nepal are generally utilized as the paddy fields, there a … More re 5 national parks where the wild lives are well reserved by the government. Our research works were mainly done in these parks with permission of the Department of National Parks and Wild Life Conservation. Koshi Tappu Wild Life Reserve is good place for studying the natural renewal of river forest, the Baldia W.L.R.for the habitation of tropical and subtropical plants, Shukrapantha W.L.R.for the habitation of Shorea forest. The herbal specimens collected in these areas were very few in number, and the samples collected in this research are quite invaluable to complete the flora of Nepal.Because of the difficulty of making the collection of bark and wood samples, the scientific studies such as histotaxonomy and chemotaxonomy of woody plants have scarcely been done. Therefore, it is very difficult to identify the botanical origins of the crude drugs of both bark and wood origins in markets. Those samples collected in this research will be very important to make progress the anatomical and chemical studies in both pharmacognostical and taxonomical fields. Less
