Bidi leaf tree

Bauhinia racemosa, commonly known as the Grizzled Giant Squirrel Tree, is a plant traditionally found in Southeast Asia. It has not been extensively used in traditional medicine practices. A study observed that the Grizzled Giant Squirrel feeds on 30 plant species, with Bauhinia racemosa comprising approximately 19.79% of its diet, indicating some nutritional or medicinal value to the squirrel. Scientifically, while the fatty acid composition and bioactive compound content of Bauhinia racemosa seeds are moderate, they do not significantly stand out compared to other species. Research has shown that biogenic iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized using leaf extracts from this plant exhibit significant antiparasitic efficacy against Argulus siamensis with a moderate level of toxicity in Labeo rohita. Additionally, Co-ZnO nanoparticles derived from Bauhinia racemosa have demonstrated effective photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline, ampicillin, and amoxicillin within 210 to 150 minutes under visible light irradiation. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
