Averrhoa bilimbi belongs to the family Oxalidaceae. There are many reports on various aspects of fruits of bilimbi, however no work have been carried out on its leaves. So here is an attempt to congregate the phytochemical and pharmacognostical information on the leaves of Averrhoa bilimbi. Different methods such as analysing macroscopic and microscopic characters, flourescence analysis, physicochemical parameters and preliminary phytochemical screening were used in the study. Ash values of drug give an idea of earthy matter or the inorganic composition and other impurities present. The ash values obtained are within the standards of WHO for crude drug and the presence of several primary and secondary metabolites were identified. The result obtained in the study can be used for the correct identification of the plant.Keywords

In the Indian system of medicine, Ayurveda, the plant Naravelia zeylanica (Linn) DC has been used in the treatment of pitta, helminthiasis, dermatopathy, leprosy, rheumatalgia, odontalgia, colic inflammation, wounds and ulcers. The study includes macroscopy, microscopy, preliminary phytochemical screening, physicochemical evaluation and fluorescence analysis. Phytochemical evaluation reveals the presence of quinone, saponin, phenol, flavanoid, alkaloid, coumarin and cardiac glycoside. The fluorescence analysis under visible light&under UV light by treatment with different chemical reagents showed different colour changes. In present investigation, pharmacognostic study is carried out to lay down the standards which could be useful in future experimental studies.Keywords
