Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The steno-endemic species from the genus Decalepis are facing a high level of threat due to destructive wild harvesting. The genus claimed its paramount importance to mankind due to its unique tuberous root characteristics and exhibits a wide range of biological and medicinal properties, and is used in pharmaceutical and food industries. Plants of this genus are endemic to limited areas of peninsular India, such as the Eastern and Western Ghats, and according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), species from the genus Decalepis are considered globally critically endangered. The genus comprises of five species namely Decalepis hamiltonii Wight & Arm, Decalepis arayalpathra (J. Joseph & V. Chandras.) Venter, Decalepis salicifolia (Bedd. ex Hook. f.) Venter, Decalepis nervosa (Wight & Arn.) Venter, and D. khasiana (Kurz) Ionta ex Kambale. All the species of the genus Decalepis are being used by the tribal people and also in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine. International trade for this plant is also increasing, resulting in overharvesting. The traditional method of propagation, viz., seed germination and vegetative, are limited and jeopardizes the species population, whereas plant tissue culture provides the opportunity for extensive production of the plant in vitro without sacrificing their natural habitats. This review is aimed to systematize the up-to-date facts related to the Genus Decalepis with the exploration of their geographic distribution, chemical profile, pharmacology, biological activities, micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis, synthetic seed, and genetic transformation.
