To learn everything there is to know about the raw medicine, employ the straightforward and dependable tool known as Pharmacognosy. Being viewed as safe, environmentally friendly treatments, natural medicines are currently becoming more and more popular. Synthetic drugs are seen to be dangerous due to their unfavorable consequences because they may harm both people and the environment. Natural medicines cost less and, in certain cases, don't have any side effects. The current study was conducted to identify the various
pharmacognostic characteristics, including microscopy, macroscopy, physicochemical parameters, extractive values, and preliminary phytochemical screening, in order to develop pharmacognostical standards. Phloem cells, sclereids, secondary phloem, outer periderm, the inner cortical zone, and the cortex were all visible in the stem's transverse section. Using powder microscopy, different types of fibres were found. The powdered stem's quantitative pharmacognostic analysis showed that it contained 0.31-0.37% moisture, 7.10-0.12 % total ash, 1.25-0.04 % acid insoluble ash, 3.91–0.08 % water soluble ash, 5.91-0.15 % sulphated ash, and 13.57-1.32 percent alcohol soluble extractive and 9.12-0.56 % water soluble extractive, respectively. Several secondary metabolites were discovered during phytochemical screening, which may open up new opportunities for the formulation of safe drugs in the future. For the first time, the Wagatea spicata stem's pharmacognostical profile was carried out; the information will be valuable for future research and biological activities.
