ABSTRACT:
The plant of Nerium oleander is used in various diseases like cancer. It is also used as diaphoretic, diuretic, emetic, expectorant, and resolvant. Eugenia jambolana is used as antibacterial, strengthening of teeth and gums. Both the plants are extensively used as tribal medicines in different parts of country.
As there is no record of pharmacognostical work on such potential drugs, the present work is taken up to produce the pharmacognostical standards. The study deals with the pharmacognostical examinations, morphological, microscopical characters. Phytochemical characteristics of leaves and bark of Nerium oleander and Eugenia jambolana were also determined which include determination of leaf constants, ash values, foaming index, ,swelling index, moisture content and extractive values, foreign organic matter, crude fiber content etc as per official guidelines.
