The pharmacognostical evaluation comprises of detailed macroscopy, powdered microscopy, fluorescence analysis and physical constants such as ash and extractive values. The bark extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening. The data obtained in present study will serve as valuable tool for identification, authentication and detection of adulterants, standardization and quality control of the drug. The developed technique will also be useful for the standardization of formulations containing <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">H.</em> </span><em><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; font-size: 10pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB">antidysenterica</span></em><span style="font-family: ";Arial Narrow";,";sans-serif";; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';" lang="EN-GB"></span></p> ER -
