ABSTRACT:
Tribulus terrestris L. is an annual, prostrate, branched herb of the Zygophyllaceae family. In traditional medicine, hot water extract of the root is taken orally as an aphrodisiac. Therefore, in this context the detailed pharmacognostic study of root has been carried out with the aim to establish its pharmacognostical standards. The microscopical studies of root revealed the presence of cluster crystals, starch granules, lignified fibers, pitted wood parenchyma and pitted xylem vessel.
