}}Clematis gouriana, or Indian Traveller's Joy,[1] is a liana found in Asia which belongs to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).[2] It was described by Roxb. ex DC. and published in Regni Vegetabilis Systema Naturale 1: 138-139, in 1818.[3]

Distribution

The creeper occurs in the Himalayas from Pakistan, India, eastward through Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and into western and southern China.[4][5]

The hilly districts of the Western Ghats, the eastern part of the India subcontinent, and Sri lanka.[1][5]

In India, the creeper occurs in the states of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Tripura.[5] The creeper is common in the Western Ghats, and the patches of adjoining forest of the Konkan coast and the Deccan plateau.[2]

Description

A large climbing shrub, reaching up to the canopies of trees. Glabrous, except for the younger parts of the plant. Grooved stem and branches. Leaves are pinnate, sometimes bi-pinnate or tri-pinnate. Leaflets may be ovate or oblong acumineate, with nerves and reticulate venation, and have a shining surface. Small flowers in many branched pannicles. Each flower is 1 to 1.5 inches wide, fragrant and greenish-white. Petals are absent but four greenish sepals present which are oblong-ovate and covered with soft down. Many stamens, with free, narrow and straight filaments which thicken towards the top. Compressed achenes, narrowly ovoid or oblong, with persistent feathery style.[1][2][6][7][8]

Natural history

C. gouriana is a vigorous climber spreading on thickets and climbing on trees. Principally in tropical and subtropical forests.[5] It occurs up to {{convert|5000|ft|m}} in the Himalayas; in the hilly districts of the peninsula it occurs between {{convert|1000|ft|m}} and {{convert|3000|ft|m}}.[9] Flowering takes place from August to February, while fruits appear from September to May.[5]

Medicinal uses

C. gouriana is recognised as a medicinal herb in traditional medicine and amongst tribal communities. It has been investigated for its medicinal properties.[10] It has been found to possess steroids and emodins as secondary metabolites.[11]

The bruised leaves and stem act as a vesicant and are poisonous.[12] In Ayurveda, the leaves of the plant have been used for treating puerperal fever and bruises.[13] Leaf paste is applied to wounds of cattle by Jatapu, Khond and Savara tribals of Andhra Pradesh, India.[5] The crushed leaves and stems are also used for treating lice in India.[11]
