Most of them are generally grown as hedge species and contain sticky, opalescent, acrid and astringent latex, which promote healing of wounds, refractory ulcer, Septic gums and as styptic in cuts and bruises. Jatropha tanjorensis is one of the 9 species in Tamil Nadu. This paper deals with the micro morphological studies carried out on in the leaves of Jatropha tanjorenesis one of the WHO Accepted Parameters for identification of medicinal plants; Taxonomy, Distribution and Medicinal Uses of Jatropha L. Pharmacognosy, Physico-chemical standards, Determination of Total Ash; Water-Soluble Ash, Acid-Insoluble Ash, Alcohol-Soluble Extractive, Water-Soluble Extractive, Leaf Constant, Vein Islet Number and Vein Termination Number, Stomatal Index and Stomatal Number, Microscopical Evaluation of Leaf and Powder, Collection of Plant Specimens, Sectioning and Photomicrographs.
