Abstract
Common names for Salvadora persica
(Linn.) include Pilu, Dholu, and Mitha jal. In areas of Rajasthan that are dry,
such as Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner, Sri Ganganagar, and Hanumangarh,
it can be found. Both conventional and contemporary medicine employs various
parts of this plant. Fruits from Salvadora persica aid to eliminate
"Tridosh" and function to cleanse blood by lowering the amount of
"Pitta" that is present in the human body. Seed oil has
anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The leaves also have anti-cancer
qualities and are used for piles and intestinal problems. In the area of the
body that is afflicted, heated leaves are bent. Camels consume the leaves. On
blisters, the root bark is used. The leaves and fruits have an odd, spicy
taste. In order to ascertain the Apoidean biodiversity on Salvadora persica
L., a survey was carried out from the years 2018 to 2022 in eight chosen
landscapes in four districts of western Rajasthan that are home to the Thar
Desert. The collection of eight species of bees on its flowerings was the
product of repeated collections over the course of five years (2018–2022). They
have been determined to belong to the Megachile species of the genus Apis
Linnaeus (04 sp.).
