Abstract
The present study focuses on the
morpho-anatomical studies and histochemical studies for identifying the
similarities and differences between the two plants. As both the plants are
often confused as the same plant that is used for brain development and have
been mistakenly consumed by the peoples, we carried out the study to
distinguish the unique features of both the study plants. The morphological and
the anatomical studies showed that both the plants possess both similar and
different characters. Plants possess different phytochemical constituents which
is responsible for the defence mechanism in plants. The histochemical studies
revealed that both the study plants possess almost same kind of
phytoconstituents but the localization of such phytoconstituents differ among
the two plants. Thus this study helps for the proper identification and
authentication of the study plants.
