Abstract
The stem and stem bark of Pittamari (Cipadessa baccifera (Roth.) Miq of family Meliaceae) are traditionally has been reported for its use in treating psoriasis, chicken pox, fever etc. Present study reports the pharmacognostical and analytical study of its stem and stem bark as per standard procedures. The result shows, externally, the stem is brownish grey in colour with presence of red tint, fibrous, while bark was brownish red in colour. Transvers section of stem shows continuous rings of pericyclic fibers while stem bark is having uniseriate medullary rays. Powder microscopy of both parts shows brown and tannin contain, crystals, and stone cells. Qualitative and quantitative estimation reports the presence of phenol, flavonoid and tannin contain, higher in stem bark than the stem. HPTLC of stem and stem bark reports five (5) and four (4) different Rf value at short and long ultra-violate, respectively. The above reported microscopical, morphological characters and analytical profile of C. baccifera may help for identification, future validation and for new drug development.
