Abstract
A brief history on the naming of the genus and general description of the different plant parts of Mussaenda are presented together with the list of species, subspecies or variety, author, year, and name of publication. In another table, the name of varieties, breeder, year of registration or patenting, and the registration or patent number are enlisted.
The basic chromosome number x = 11 is consistent in all species studied to date. The inheritance of number and color of calycophylls, flower size, color and shape, and seed color are provided. For propagation, the procedures for the different asexual methods are presented step by step. For tissue culture techniques, the plant tissue culture medium formulation and results obtained are presented in a table. The cultural requirements are made available.
Lastly, the traditional uses for medicine of different plant parts, phytochemicals isolated through different extraction methods and identified, and their biological activities are tabulated. Information on germplasm collection, database, and conservation status are included.
