Gandira: (Warrier et al. (1994) alone gives two plants (whole plants as being used) as substitutes for each other, the principal being Cayratia carnosa and C. pedata. Another plant Kandira has been mentioned by Bapalal (1983) which he attributes doubtfully to Ranunculus sceleratus (not in Tamil Nadu).Commercial value:
Ranunculus sceleratus L. has been used to raise blisters and as counter-irritant since time immemorial. In China, Ranunculus sceleratus L. is used to treat colds, arthritis and rheumatisms and to invigorate health. In Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the seeds are eaten to promote appetite and digestion, treat kidney diseases and heal abscessesMorphology:
Cursed Crowfoot is a native erect annual or short-lived perennial, growing on stout, hollow, smooth stems to 20 inches high, with branching near the top and rooting at the base of the stem. Two varieties exist, photos below are of R. sceleratus var. multifidus.
The leaves are both basal and stem, both similar in shape but the upper leaves much smaller. Leaves are kidney shaped with 3 to 5 palmate lobes, ranging from shallow to deep on the basal leaves. The margins of the lobes have large blunt teeth or secondary lobes. Basal leaves and stem leaves are stalked, with the stem leaves, being alternate, and having more slender lobes, whereas smaller leaves are on the flowering stems and are usually sessile with just 3 linear lobes. All leaves are smooth, green and fleshy.
Inflorescence: Flowers are usually solitary and stalked at the tip of stems.
The flowers are 5-parted, about 1/3 inch across, with 3 to 5 (usually 5) yellow petals with rounded tips, 3 to 5 yellow green sepals with triangular tips that are at least as long as the petals, if not slightly longer, but they bend downward. Stamens number 10 to many, have yellow anthers, and surround the green receptacle composed of numerous pistils without styles. The nectaries of the flower are right on the base of the petals. A true corolla is lacking. The central receptacle elongates at maturity as the petals drop away. Sepals are not persistent.
Seed: Fertile flowers produce a cluster of dry brown achenes on the elongated central receptacle that are flat, smooth and kidney shaped with a short triangular beak. [in var. sceleratus the seeds have transverse wrinkles]
Histology:
Microscopical: Stem : Transverse section is circular in out line with a thin cuticle covering the epidermis followed by multicellular cortex having air - cavities. Distinct hypodermis and cambium absent. Vascular bundles conjoint, collateral and closed and present in peripheral region consisting of smaller and larger bundles arranged alternately and surrounded by sclerenchyma. Pith is large with central hollow region. Leaf: dorsiventral covered with small, unicellular, thin - walled, glandular hairs. Stomata anomocytic. (Pharmacopea)
This smooth perennial herb grows to a height of about 1 foot. Stem erect, glabrous, thick, succulent, hollow, and branching; juice acrid and blistering. Leaves thickish, the upper sessile or nearly so, the lobes oblong - linear and nearly entire; stem - leaves 3 - lobed, rounded; root - leaves 3 - parted, but not to the base, the lobes obtusely cut and toothed; petioles of the lower leaves long, and sheathing at their dilated bases. Flowers small, pale - yellow; sepals reflexed; petals scarcely exceeding the sepals. Fruit an oblong, cylindrical head; carpels numerous, barely mucronate.
Geographical distribution:
Ranunculus sceleratus has a circumpolar distribution in the northern hemisphere There are two varieties and one subspecies with distinctive distributions: R. sceleratus ssp. reptabundus occurs in northern Finland and north-west Russia. R. scleratus var. multifidus occurs in north western North America. and R. scleratus var. longissimus is found from Minnesota to Alabama according to their biodiversity and plant atlases respectivelyECOLOGICAL ASPECT:
In and by slow streams, ditches and shallow ponds of mineral rich water and muddy bottoms, avoiding acid soilsPlant conservation:
Least ConcernGeneral Use:
The celery-leafed buttercup is one of the most virulent of our native plants. The whole plant is acrid, anodyne, antispasmodic, diaphoretic and emmenagogue and rubefacient When bruised and applied to the skin it raises a blister and creates a sore that is by no means easy to heal. If chewed it inflames the tongue and produces violent effects. The herb should be used fresh since it loses its effects when dried The leaves and the root are used externally as an antirheumatic. The seed is tonic and is used in the treatment of colds, general debility, rheumatism and spermatorrhoeaTherapeutic Uses:
The whole plant has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, sedative and expectorant properties and it is recommended against skin diseases such as eczema, herpes, pruritus, burns and swellings. Also, it is administered for the treatment of rheumatic diseases, arthritis, ulcers and rhinitis.Systemic Use:
When made into a tincture, given in small diluted doses, it proves curative of stitch in the side and neuralgic pains between the ribs.Administration:
The plant is administered as anti-rheumatic and analgesic in the form of herbal tea (50g of dried herb in one litre of boiled water, 3 times a day). It is externally applied as sedative and anti-inflammatory in the form of tincture (1: 5 parts of herbal extract and ethyl alcohol 70%, 30 drops, 3 times a day for adults, 15 drops, 3 times a day for children) and ointment.Pharmacological:
