Answer:
a) Rauwolfia serpentiana is of great medicinal value.
Explanation:
- Rauwolfia serpentina is Indian snakeroot or sarpagandha. It is a flowering plant belonging to the Apocynaceae family. Yohimbine, reserpine, ajmaline, deserpidine, rescinnamine, and serpentinine are among the bioactive compounds found in Rauvolfia serpentina. Reserpine was used to treat excessive blood pressure as well as mental illnesses such as schizophrenia. As a result, it's a medicinal plant.
