Abstract:

H. isora roots and L. speciosa leaves were collected from three different states in India and evaluated for complete Pharmacological parameters such as macroscopy, microscopy, ash values, extractive values, phytochemical screening, and marker compound estimation using HPLC and HPTLC methods. Three samples of H. isora roots were morphologically and microscopically similar. Exfoliated bark, longitudinal striations, wrinkles, fissures, and fibrous fracture characterize the cylindrical roots. Microscopically, there are lignified cork cells; a secondary phloem area with groups of concentrically organized lignified thick-walled phloem fibres, bordered pitted lignified xylem channels, simple and complex starch grains, prisms and rosettes of calcium oxalate crystals, and a lignified cork cell.
