Taxonomic Studies of the Convolvulaceae of the Banasthali Vidyapeeth and Newai Region
Abstract
The present study provides comprehensive description of taxonomy and importance of the Convolvulaceae family of the Banasthali Vidyapeeth, campus and newai region. Overall, five genera have been reported in the campus and open agricultural land of the newai region. Ipomea is the dominant genus among them. Other than Ipomea, Evovulus and Convolvulus are another genus which are found in the habitat. This family includes plants which are herbs, generally annual in nature. Some of them are used as the medicinal plants in the area. The family is of the great significance due to their potential use in certain disease treatment and their edible parts. The members of this family are cultivated worldwide for their ornamental economic importance. The Convolvulaceae family need conservation since their habitat is in danger and is approaching extinction. Many of the genera like Evovulus are listed as endangered in the red data lists of the IUCN and needs proper conservation.
