This study investigated the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Crinum asiaticum (Amaryllidaceae) leaf ethanolic extract. Analgesic effect was investigated in acetic acid induced writhing model and formalin induced licking model in swiss albino mice. Anti-inflammatory effect was conducted in carrageenan-induced paw edema model of albino rat. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of vari...

The year-round food habits of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus seminolus Rafinesque) were studied in the wet prairie-tree island habitat of the southwestern Everglades system during 1988–91. Microhistological analysis of rumen contents revealed that a single plant, swamp lily (Crinum americanum L.), constituted 40.4% of the annual diet by dry weight and occurred in the rumens of 87.7% ...

Several aquatic species were examined as potential phytoremoval agents for selenium in aqueous solutions. Selenium was initially present in concentrations of 0-100 ppm Se (as sodium selenite) in 10% Hoagland’s medium, and aquatic plants were grown in the medium for one week. Four aquatic plants were studied: Cattail ( Typha domingensis ), duckweed ( Lemna obscura ), hydrilla ( Hydrilla verticil...
