Corbichonia decumbens (Forssk.) Exell, commonly known as pater-chatti, is an annual or short lived perennial herb found in rocky habitats. It is used to cure kidney stone and gonorrhoea. The main objective of this study was to examine the anatomical characters of whole plant of C. decumbens for identification. The transverse sections of root, stem, leaf and flower have been examined and analysed. Photomicrographs were prepared with Sony HD (1920x1080/50i) digital camera. The microscopical studies revealed several interesting features viz., the presence of anomocytic stomata on both the surface; more on adaxial surface starch grains present in cortical region of root, rosette crystals in almost all vegetative parts that some time forms clusters, sclerenchymatous pericyle in stem and root presence of wide medullary rays in secondary xylem and bundle sheath around vascular bundles. The outcome showed many unique characters which may prove most important in taxonomical relevance. This s...

MORPHO -ANATOMICAL STUDY OF LEAF AND STEM OF SAPINDUS TRIFOLIATUS L., AS A TAXONOMICAL IDENTIFICATION TOOL2020 •
Sapindus trifoliatus is distribution throughout all districts in Kerala, in its wild and cultivated habitat. The presence of high saponin in the pericarp attributed the genus as an important ingredient in our traditional medicine. The human-mediated deforestation, contemporaneous natural calamities, through flood and land sliding; all that happened in the last few years in the state has adversely affected many plant species. The identification and its conservation is the need of time. Here, anatomy turns out to be the good option when flowers or fruits are unavailable for identification. The main intention of this work is to use leaf and stem anatomical characteristics as the device for the identification of species. The microanatomy (Scanning Electron Microscopy) of leaf showed ranunculaceous stomata and glandular and non-glandular trichomes on the abaxial side. The micromorphology showed the eucamptodromous type of ramification. The anatomy of the petiole showed the distribution of prismatic crystals in the ground tissue. In stem, the presence of simple perforation plate, confluent axial parenchyma, septate and non-septate fibers with simple pits in the xylem components are the stable anatomical features, to establish the taxonomic identity of the species, and are the stable characteristics even in the climate change which alter the morphological characteristics. This is the first of its kind detailed report on the anatomy and micromorphology of S.trifoliatus from Kerala. Further, in the future, more descriptive and comparative anatomical studies are recommended for the taxonomical identification of plant species in its natural habitat.

CHARACTERIZATION OF CYPSELAR AND ANATOMICAL PARAMETER OF SOME COMMONLY OCCURRING PLANTS OF COMPOSITAE IN KALYANI, NADIA, WEST BENGAL2014 •
The present paper deals with the morphological features of cypselas, trichome structure, nodal and petiolar vascularization and foliar venation of some (Blumea lacear (Burm.f.) DC., Eclipta prostrata (L.) L., Enhydra fluctuans Lour., Gnaphalium polycaulon Pers., Synedrella nodiflora (L.) Gaerten., Tridax procumbens L., Xanthium indicum Koenig) commonly occurring plants of Compositae in Kalyani, Nadia. Among the studied cypselas, homomorphic cypselas are present in Blumea lacera, Enhydra fluctuans, Gnaphalium polycaulon, Tridax procumbens and Xanthium indicum, whereas remaining 2 studied cypselas are strongly heteromorphic. Among the plants studied, the cypselar structure shows little morphological variations. The cypsela of Xanthium indicum is compactely enclosed by hooked spiny utricle. Simple filliform trichomes are common in all the species except Gnaphalium polycaulon, where the septate flagellate types of trichomes are present. Nodal anatomy shows no variations but the number of petiolar vascular bundles vary from 5-7 though all have 3 bundles in basal regions. In Xanthium indicum, complex types of vascular traces are present throughout the petiole. Foliar venation shows simple or branched type of vein-endings. In the vein-endings of Blumea lacera, ideoblastic cells and in Xanthium indicum barrel-shaped cells are present.

Scanning electron microscopic screening; Can it be a taxonomic tool for identification of traditional therapeutic plants2020 •
source of traditional medicine by different ethnic groups of North Eastern India for treating wounds, tumorous growth and as a blood purifier. Its bitter tasted leaves and flowers are used to relieve cough, stomach ache and scabies. The flowers are also used as antidote to pox, prevents skin diseases like sore, scabies and used in jaundice (Khanikar 2005). It is distributed through the tropics viz. the sub-tropical Himalayas, upper Gangetic Plain, Bihar, North Bengal and in the entire North Eastern region of India. Little is documented on the anatomy and morphology of this plant; therefore the purpose of this study was to determine its anatomy at the cellular level through various hand sectioning and staining techniques and also its morphology. It was found that many anatomical features of this plant were similar to those of a typical dicotyledonous plant. However there were some unique features of this plant. These include a layer of suberized parenchyma and a thin layer of lignin in the stem surrounding the vascular tissue, a thick band of secondary xylem in the stem and root and expansion of the Casparian bands in the endodermis consistent with the secondary growth of the vascular tissue in the root. The flowers and the leaves showed the presence of numerous glands.

Comparative Leaf Anatomy of Selected Medicinal Plants in Acanthaceae2018 •
Comparative leaf anatomy study were conducted in three taxa of Acanthaceae from peninsular Malaysia. Three chosen taxa were Acanthus ebracreatus (Vahl), Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Wall. ex Nees and Chroesthes longifolia (Wight) B. Hansen which is commonly used as traditional medicine especially in peninsular Malaysia. The main objective is to identify the leaf anatomical characteristics that can be used in plant identification and also for supportive data in plant classification. The procedures involved such as cross section using sliding microtome on the petiole, lamina, midribs and marginal, leaf clearing and observation under light microscope. Results have shown the similarities and variations in leaf anatomical characteristics. The anatomical characteristics observed include petiole and midrib outlines, patterns of petiole and midrib vascular bundles, presence of cystolith cells, presence of hypodermis layers in lamina and presence and types of trichomes. In conclusion, r...

Morpho-anatomical and histochemical studies on Coccinia grandis (L.) Voigt. (Cucurbitaceae)2019 •
The present article is comprised of morphological studies on two medicinally important plants belonging to family Molluginaceae. Morphologically, the characters of leaves, stems, roots, fruits and seeds were observed .The plants were found to be well adapted to the local environment of sandy & rocky habitat. Some specific morphological adaptations were observed in both plants as a result of environmental & habitat stress. Enormous differences were observed in morphological features of both the plants, as the structure of leaf was quite different in both plants .Difference of habitat is most attracting feature, most probably making them morphologically different and adaptive in stressed conditions. In both plants leaves bear hairs on abaxial surface. Surface of leaves remain fully expanded, cuticle is thick, stomata are deeply sunken. Water storing channels are observed throughout the length of the plant. It was observed that both the plants are well adapted to harsh & dry conditions of the area under study. The current Functional perspective has reached a limit and now needs original inputs from descriptive morphology.
Aim: To assist as a relevant source of information and contribute towards the standards to dispose the quality and identity of the studied plants to avoid adulterations. Morpho-anatomical characters of seven plants from the sub class (Asteridae) Solanum dubium, Datura innoxia and Datura stramonium family (Solanaceae), Solenostemma argel, Calotropis procera, Leptadenia arborea family (Asclepiadaceae) and Convolvulus arvensis family (Convolvolaceae) were studied. Radar shape for morphological leaf characters (leaf length, leaf width, leaf apex angle and leaf base angle) was used. Standard method of double staining technique used for anatomical studies. The results shown in tables and plates. The leaves of the plants from the same family have the same radar structure which mean that these plants are similar in their leaf morphology. Two stomatal types were distinguished anomocytic type in S. dubium, S. argel, C. procera and L. arborea while the anisocytic type was found in the two Datura species and C. arvensis. Trichomes were classified into Stellate non-glandular and Simple non-glandular. Mesophyll typed into two features, isobilateral in S. dubium, S. argel and C. arvensis, dorsiventral in the rest. The vascular bundles were bicollateral crescent-shaped in all species studied while it was collateral in C. arvensis only. This study suggested that the observed morph anatomical characters are of great value in quality control and formulation development of the plant studied.
