+  * //"Cheraka  merah, an ornamental plant of evil reputation with small red flowers (Plumbago rosea, Linn.  Plumbaginaceae), grows in Malay villages and gardens; it is the same plant as the Hindustani lal chitra. The botany of Plumbago rosea has been described in great detail by Kirtikar and Basu (Ref. 14). Cheraka merah is an evergreen perennial shrub, 2 to 3 feet high, "very rarely annular" (Boissier) - perhaps only a cultivated variety of P. zeylanica (C. B. Clarke). The root of P. rosea is used by Malay women as an abortifacient: it is from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in thickness; when mature it is woody and solid, nodose, and contorted near the stem, with many rootlets, sometimes 2 feet long. When fresh it is darkish yellow in colour, becoming longitudinally striated when dry; on section, pale yellow, with a brown tinge in the central axis. In Kelantan it is used for the above illegal purpose in the form of a decoction compounded with the roots of four other village plants, which may be merely flavouring or corrective additions, as the root of P. rosea is well known to be acrid and vesicant."// (John Desmond (John D.)

+Pelbagai kaedah pengubatan yang lain: //"Plumbago rosea Linn. (syn. Plumbago indica Linn.) from the family of Plumbaginaceae is commonly known as rose leadwort. This species originates from India and is now mostly cultivated in regions of Southeast Asia, Africa, China, the Arabian Peninsula, and Europe for its roots [17,18]. Plumbago rosea is a perennial plant and a spreading evergreen shrub with oval leaves and racemes of deep pink or scarlet flowers in winter. This plant has a sharp, hot taste and is considered good for digestion, slowing aging, and supporting longevity and strength. It is also traditionally used to treat inflammatory disorders, skin diseases [19], gastric acidity [20], constipation [20], abdominal pain [20], and as an abortifacient [21,22]. Moreover, the roots of P. rosea have been reported to possess antitumor [23] and antiatherogenic [24] activities. It also has many pharmacological activities, such as abortifacient [25], antiarthritic [26], anticancer [27,28,29], anticoagulant [30], antifeedant [31], and antifungal [32]. Several researchers described that P. rosea constitutes many active biochemicals, such as plumbagin [33], hydroxy-1,4-napthaquinone, sitosterol glycoside, fatty alcohol, and tannins [34]. Because of its different bioactivities, it is believed that it may also possess allelopathic activity."// (Thang Lam Lun, Arihiro Iwasaki, Kiyotake Suenaga, Hisashi Kato-Noguchi, Agronomy 2022, 12(9), 2020: {{ :lampiran:agronomy-12-02020-v2.pdf ||}} [[https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy12092020|"Two Allelopathic Substances from Plumbago rosea Stem Extracts and Their Allelopathic Effects"]]).

+//"Malaysian plant knowledge development and expansion is basically derived and characterised by the Malay culture. The Malayan world's ethnobotany was recognized as early as 4th century A.D., during the Campa, Vietnam kingdom (Zain, 2003, p. 78). In the early years, in traditional Malay culture, plants and animals were used as remedies either for internal or external purposes (Balwi, 2003, pp. 51-52; Zakaria & Mohd, 1994, p. iii). There are approximately 120 species of plants mentioned in the Malay proverbs and at least twelve(12) unidentifiable species (Zain, 2003, p. 80). The principles of Malay traditional medicine are generally based on the Islamic influences of Arabic Unani medicine and galenic philosophy (Jamal, 2006). However, Malay traditional medicine is also influenced by beliefs and practices such as supernatural powers that was mostly influenced by Hindusm, before the arrival of Islam (Zakaria & Mohd, 1994, p.4). \\

+In Malaysia, civilisation as defined by Western literature only evolved following Portuguese settlement commencing in 1511, followed by Dutch colonization in 1642, before a more comprehensive colonization under the British empire (P.D.K.M. Salleh, 2007b). Historically, ethnobotany is as old as other disciplines in Malaysia and has a common knowledge among Malaysians (Latif, 1991). However, a well documented and intensive study on this knowledge for Malaysia is still insufficient. Munshi Ismail, in 1886, was the first Malaysian scholar involved in translating the manuscripts of 'Malay Traditional Medicines' into English, which were then sent to London for pharmaceutical purposes (P.D.K.M. Salleh, 2007b). Professional botanists from the United Kingdom were the pioneers in systematic plant literature in Malaysia. Another Western scholar who had contributed to medicinal botany on the Peninsular was E.M. Holmes, whose notes and records were published as the Malay Materia Medica in 1891. Henry Ridley, who pioneered the Malaysian rubber industry, also contributed greatly to the study of Malayan botany on the Malay Peninsula (P.D.K.M. Salleh, 2007a). Ridley researched plants including fungi, mosses, ferns and other higher plants, making plant collections while he was director of the Singapore Botanic Garden from 1901 to 1912 (Mat Salleh et. al. 2002). Ridley was also responsible for the Waterfall Gardens in Penang and was in charge of the Forest Reserves in the Straits Settlements (Singapore, Penang and Malacca) (P.D.K.M. Salleh, 2007a). Two local specimen collectors, Mohamed Haniff and Kiah from the Singapore Herbarium, helped Garden Director Burkill with his plants collections, documenting some 1675 specimens including some 13 families and 696 species of medical plants (P.D.K.M. Salleh, 2007b). Gimlett was also an expert in traditional medicine with a particular interest in the local Malay people of Kelantan was greatly assisted by Burkill. Gimlett wrote two books, Malay Poison and Charm Cures, which were published in 1915. In 1920 Burkill and Thomson published 'A Dictionary of Economic Product of the Malay Peninsula' (Kamarudin Mat Salleh, et al., n.d). In 1930 this manuscript had listed 1200 species of plants used by the locals was publlised as 'The Medical Book of Malayan Medicine', edited by Dr J.D. Gimlett with a botanical editorial by I.H. Burkill. \\
+\\
+Since then, until the early twentieth century, there has not been much research on ethnobotany carried out in Peninsular Malaysia. The Dictionary has been a major ethnobotanical reference which reprinted in 1996 (Kamarudin Mat Salleh, et al., n.d. p.1). However, these early ethnobotanical publications were only confined to medicinal and poisonous plants that focused upon the physical properties and economic potential of plants, with medicinal and aromatic plants being regarded as the most important ethnobotanical elements of human civilization (Latif, 1991; Kamarudin Mat Salleh, Latif, & Nazre, 2000)."//

   * //"Use of Abortion Stick: a peculiar method of abortion is being practiced in India by dais, the so-called midwives/abortionists. The method consists in the use of specially prepared obect, known as abortion stick. This object may be a thin, wooden or bamboo stick about 15-20cm long or a twig of similar length from some irritant plant such as madar (Calotropis gigantea), chitra (Plumbago zeylanica), lal chitra (Plumbago rosea) or kaner (Nerium odorum). At one end, the stick is equipped with cotton wool or a piece of rag soaked in an irritant substance such as juice of marking nut or a paste prepared from white arsenic, red lead or asafoetida. The abortion stick is introduced into the os of the uterus. While abortion with or without rupture of membranes may ensue, sepsis is likely to be followed. Excoriation, bruising and perforation in the upper part of the vagina or uterus can occur due to irritant action of thr substances used and the violence perpetrated during the insertion of the stick."// (Krishan Vij, 2008: [[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=Vp8FAsnfGF4C|Textbook Of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology: Principles And Practice"]], m.s. 503 / Krishan Vij, 2011: [[https://books.google.com.my/books?id=pOd2EVL5xAwC|"Textbook of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology : Principles and Practice, 5/e"]], m.s.384).
