Soymida febrifuga 28101101PD Flora of Orissa: sharing the pictures of Soymida febrifuga of Meliaceae which I had taken from Ranpur, Nayagarh, Orissa Place of collection: Ranpur, Nayagarh Altitude: 320 m above msl Habit: Tree Habitat: Dry deciduous forest Local name: Rohini Uses: The bark is used to treat chronic Jundice along with other plant parts. This is a very common plant in Orissa, and it is found up to an elevation of 200 to 800 m above msl in dryer parts of Orissa. One of the ecological aspect of this species is it is resistant to fire as i found this in almost all fire prone forest patches in Orissa. Nice pictures, ... This is called 'mamsarohini' in Sanskrit and is said to be used for the treatment of a rare disease - muscular dystrophy.
In fact it is not 'mamsarohini' but "Mamsa Rohini" as it is having miraculous effect on seventh (i.e. deepest) layer of skin known as Rohini. In many parts of India, that's why it is known as Rohina. There are over 100 Sanskrit names of Soymida febrifuga and also At least 10 different plant species are known as "Mamsa Rohini" along with Soymida due to its effect on skin. Thanks ..., for the correction as well as useful information. Its a news to me that there are also several other plants known as "Mamsa Rohini". Is there any common indicators for these species, other than the use? It will be interesting to know their names, if possible. The tree is fairly common in Tadoba W.L.Sanctuary
