Abstract
Crude herbal medicinal preparations have been used to treat skin wounds and related inflammation and pain since the ancient time. The plant Phyllocephalum rangacharii (asteraceae) is used by Cholanaikkan tribal group of Kerala to treat wounds, inflammations and other related conditions. The present investigation is focused on establishing pharmacognostic and physicochemical parameters for the identification and authentication of the plant drug. The aim of the work is to evaluate the pharmacognostic and physicochemical characters of Phyllocephalum rangacharii. The pharmacognostic and physicochemical characteristics obtained through the present investigation is useful in the standardization of the plant sample and prevention of adulteration in drug industries.
