Summary of article contents:
Mundi (Sphaeranthus indicus Linn.) is a popularly used drug in the texts of Ayurveda. Whole plant is used in therapeutic conditions like krimi, apachi, yoniroga etc. Hence phyto-pharmacognostic standardization forms the base to start any research. Aims and objectives: Present study was aimed to record macro-microscopic and phytochemical study of Mundi (Sphaeranthus indicus Linn.)Methods: Authentified, matured, fresh plants were collected and both macro-microscopic characters were documented. Chemical study included physico-chemical screening, preliminary phytochemical test and HPTLC. Results: Pharmacognostic study of leaf showed anisocytic and anomocytic stomata on upper and lower surface respectively and stem part showed unicellular, multicellular, glandular , eglandular types of trichomes. Physicochemical standards and presence of protein, flavanoids, triterpenoid compounds as secondary metabolites, serve as qualitative data related to this drug. Conclusion: The results obtained will prove as standard reference for identification and distinguish it from any admixture.
