Abstract

Glossocardia bosvallea is a one of the botanical source for the drug Parpatak for the treatment of different diseases like fevers, cough and fungal diseases02&09.The authentication of this botanical source in dried form is arduous.  To prevent the adulterations of the drug whole plant of G. bosvallea was subjected to botanical, macroscopic, microscopic, maceration, histochemical and physico-chemical studies.  Microscopical studies revealed the presence of vessels and fibers, narrow phloem, cortex with tangentially elongated parenchymatous cells in case of root, in case of leaf exhibited lithocyst consists cystolith, kranz anatomy, secretory canal on either side of middle vascular bundle and in case of stem it showed secretory cavities in cortex. Physicochemical parameters like a loss on drying, total ash value, acid insoluble ash, water insoluble ash, various extractive values etc., were carried out.
