Authors

Abstract
Gmelina asiatica Linn. of family Verbenaceae is one of the widely used medicinal plants whose various parts are employed in numerous traditional and folklore medicines. However, it still remains as an ‘Anukta dravya’ (undocumented drug) and needs immediate scientific consideration. The present study is focused on establishing the pharmacognostic parameters through assessment and documentation of the morphological and anatomical features of the plant root, stem and leaf. Thus, the results of the investigation would serve as a botanical data for the correct identification of the raw drug materials and enables easy detection and prevention of adulterations thereby, facilitating their better quality control in pharmaceutical industries.
