| Abstract: | Rauwolfia serpentina (L.) Benth. ex Kurz., a valuable medicinal plant indigenous to India, exhibits ecological adaptability across diverse agro-climatic regions. The present study integrates botanical characterization and functional diversity assessment of R. serpentina specimens collected from Western Himalayan, Middle Gangetic Plains, Upper Gangetic Plains, Central Plateau, Western Plateau, and Southern Plateau regions. Macroscopic features, transverse and longitudinal root anatomy, powder microscopy of roots and seeds, and leaf anatomical traits were examined following standard pharmacognostic procedures. Functional diversity indices including evenness, Shannon H index, correlation, alpha and beta diversity were computed using leaf morphological traits. Results demonstrated high uniformity in root anatomical features such as stratified cork, parenchymatous phelloderm, narrow phloem, distinct cambium, lignified xylem, and abundant calcium oxalate crystals. Minor variations were observed in leaf traits among regions. Functional diversity graphs indicated slightly higher trait advancement in specimens from the Southern Plateau region; however, overall diversity remained closely clustered with negligible alpha and beta diversity. The integrated analysis suggests strong botanical stability and minimal functional divergence across agro-climatic gradients. |
