Pharmacognostic and preliminary phytochemical investigation of Salvadora persica Linn (
Salvadoraceae).
The genus Salvadora belongs to the family
Salvadoraceae. It comprises 3 genera (i.e., Azima, Dobera, and Salvadora) and 10 species distributed mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and Asia (Mabberley 2008).

The Old World tropical deserts are colonized by a Paleotropical flora, characterized by 1) certain families (Acanthaceae, Aizoaceae, Apocynaceae, Asclepi-adaceae, Bignoniaceae, Bombacaceae, Capparidaceae, Celastraceae, Leguminosae-Caesalpinoidae, Poaceae tribe Chlorideae, Combretaceae, Commelinaceae, Loganiaceae, Malpighiaceae, Moraceae, Moringaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Olacaceae, Oleaceae, Pedaliaceae, Rubiaceae,
Salvadoraceae, Sapindaceae, Simaroubaceae, Sterculiaceae, Zygophyllaceae), 2) distinct subfamilies (for example, the grasses of the Andropogonoideae and Panicoideae subfamilies) of families with wider or even cosmopolitan distribution (in the cases cited, the Poaceae), and 3) genera and species more or less confined to the intertropical areas of the Old World.
Interxylary phloem also occurs conspicuously in Brassicaceae (this paper) and
Salvadoraceae (Carlquist, 2002).
Other fruit-producing species of interest include: botsu (Carissa edulis, Apocynaceae); the tamarind (Tamarindus indicus, Leguminosae), of African origin despite its specific name; Combretum aculeatum (Combre-taceae); Diospyros mespiliformis (Ebenaceae), one of the western African ebonies; Parkia biglobosa (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae), known locally as duaga; the jujube Ziziphus spina-christi (Rham-naceae); Feretia apodanthera, Canthium, and Gardenia (all three Rubiaceae); Salvadora persica (
Salvadoraceae), whose leaves and twigs are also used in oral hygiene; Celtis integrifolia (Ulmaceae); and Vitex doniana (Verbenaceae).
In a similar way, simple pits on imperforate tracheary elements (= libriform fibers) have developed in some clades (
Salvadoraceae, Tovariaceae, Borthwickiaceae, Resedaceae, Capparaceae, Cleomaceae, Brassicaceae); angiosperms have the genetic information to form fibers with simple pits (e.g.
