Abstract
Tectona grandis Linn. belonging to Lamiaceae family is an important endangered plant that has been therapeutically used to treat different pathological manifestations since ages. It is commonly called as teak and locally known as sagon, sagwan. A lot of adulterations are also present in the market. The present study is aimed towards evaluating pharmacognostical and histochemical characteristics of the bark of T.grandis Linn. in detail. Macroscopic and microscopic pharmacognostical characters of bark and histochemical studies were noted by standard methods. Pharmacognostical evaluation of bark shows the presence of cambial zone, phloem layer, sieve tubes, parenchyma cells and medullary rays. The observations found in current work can be considered as reference standards in future studies and help to identify the plant from its other species.
