| Abstract:
|
The genus Sida belongs to family Malvaceae in the major group angiosperms (Flowering Plants), about 200 species known in this genus and widely used for medicinal purposes. This genus contains mostly herbs or under-shrubs and contains pharmacologically active constituents and is used in therapeutic. In present study leaves of three species of Sida viz. Sida acuta Burm.f., Sida cordifolia Linn. and Sida rhombifolia Linn. are selected for comparative pharmacognostic studies. The main aim of this study is to compare pharmacognostic parameters of leaves of these three species for establishment of Pharmacognostic profile of the leaves that will help in sample identification and standardization of quality and purity. The study has been carried out as per standard procedure of Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia of India and World Health Organization guidelines of quality control of medicinal plants to establish the diagnostic keys based on the macroscopic and microscopic characters and physicochemical constants like loss on drying, ash value, extractive value. The results of these studies showed that all these species differ in macro and microscopic characters and the physicochemical constants.
