It is commonly found in Singapore and blooms around Aug-sept. Flowers are in bunch of 20-30, that lasts 2 weeks and are very fragrant. In Nepal, a paste prepared from the leaves is applied over cuts and wounds. Fruits of A. odorata are used to heal wounds in India. Juice extracted from the leaves is used to treat boils in the ear and nose. Vietnamese sprinkle the seeds over the lesions to heal boils and other skin disorders. Hill tribes in Orissa combine the fresh root of A. odorata with root powder from Saraca asoca, bark from Azadirachta indica and common salt to prepare an oral medicine for painful swollen joints. They also use juice from the leaves to treat tuberculosis. How it works? - Extract of A. odorata exhibits inhibitory activity against antibiotic-sensitive, penicillin-resistant and kanamycin-resistant strains of Escherichia coli, common organisms in stools, on skin and in superficial infections. Phytoalexins such as aeridin possess antimicrobial effects. An oral Indian preparation of this Orchid, contained natural salicylate (basis of Aspirin). Chemically speaking - It has gigantol, imbricatin, methoxycoelonin and coelonin. It also contains 5 minor constituents- phenanthropyran, 2 dihydrophenenthrene derivatives and 2 phenenthrenes {aerosanthrene (5-methoxyphenenthrene-2,3,7- triol) and aerosin (3-methoxy-9,10-dihydro- 2,5,7-phenanthrenetriol)} |

Agrostophyllum stipulatum ssp. bicuspidatum .
Chinese name: Heye Lan The generic name comes from Greek, agrostis (grass) and phyllon (leaf). Flowers are small and self- pollinating and are considered mythical. The Kalabit in Sarawak wear parts of the orchid as talismans to protect against curses. Talismans and charms are very much a part of native Asian medicine. They do not make sense to most medicine practitioners hence we have listed several medicinal chemicals which have been extracted from this or subspecies. This includes- · Terpenoids and derivatives isolated from an Indian species. · Several bio-active compounds (three stilbenoids and several dimeric phenanthrenes) have been isolated from two Indian species · Naturally occurring phenanthropyran derivative, agostrophyllin, two stilbenoids (agrostophyllol and isoagrostophyllol) and two diasteromeric 9,10-dihydrophenanthropyran derivatives and two terpenoids (agrostophyllinol and agrostophylline) From a medicinal perspective, stilbenoids, phenanthrenes, alkaloids etc are very important because they possess antimicrobial, antihelminthic, spasmolytic, anti-inflammatory, antiprotozoal and antiplatelet properties. They are also are cytotoxic against some human cancer cell and acan protect tissues against toxic damage. |
