Volume 4 Issue 1 2013 (January - March) ANATOMY AND PHARMACOGNOSY OF TAVERNIERA CUNEIFOLIA ROOT (ROTH) ARN., A POSSIBLE SUBSTITUTE OF GLYCYRRHIZA GLABRA L. lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan is an important traditional medicinal plant of India belonging to the family of Fabaceae. The roots of lessThan i greaterThan Taverniera cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan is a potential substitute of lessThan i greaterThan Glycyrrhiza glabra lessThan /i greaterThan (Licorice). In order to differentiate lessThan i greaterThan G. glabra lessThan /i greaterThan from lessThan i greaterThan T. cuneifolia lessThan /i greaterThan , macroscopic as well as microscopic studies of lessThan i greaterThan T.cunefolia lessThan /i greaterThan were done. The present investigation deals with pharmacognostic characters, which includes anatomy, powder studies and histochemical test. P. S. MANGALORKAR, B. R. PATEL AND P. S.
