1. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISATION OF PERISTROPHE PANICULATA (FORSSK.) BRUMMIT. A WELL-KNOWN TROPICAL MEDICINAL HERB by LANDE, S. K. AND P. Y. BHOGAONKAR
Abstract
A vast majority of people from less developed countries depend on medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases, due to the high cost of synthetic drugs. Medicinal plants have been used for centuries by man in treatment of diseases. Peristrophe paniculata (Forssk.) Brum. (syn. P. bicalyculata (Retz.) Nees.) of Acanthceae is a well-known medicinal plant . The whole plant and all the parts of the plant have medicinal value. Though an important medicinal plant, no anatomical data is available for drug characterization. Drug characterization is important to understand purity of the drug. Here an attempt is made to study the macro and micromorphology of all plant organs in details i.e. primary structure, secondary structure, vessel elements of root and stem, leaf architecture, and trichomes are studied.
KEY WORD: Peristrophe paniculata(Forssk.) Brummit., Medicinal plant, Micromorphology, Root, Stem, Leaf, Trichomes.
