Objective: To study pharmacognostic studies of Symplocos racemosa Roxb. and Rumex
vesicarius Linn.
Method: The leaves of Symplocos racemosa Roxb. and Rumex vesicarius Linn. were studied
by Microscopic, Physicochemical and Phytochemical Studies.
Result: The T.S of the leaf of Symplocos racemosa Roxb showed upper epidermis, lower
epidermis, lignified xylem & phloem, collenchyma and stomata. The microscopical powder
studies of Symplocos racemosa Roxb indicate the presence of a lignified vascular bundle
(Xylem & Phloem), Trichomes, Cuticle cell, Ca- oxalate crystals and Stomata. The T.S of the
leaf of Rumex vesicarius Linn showed upper epidermis, lower epidermis, lignified xylem &
phloem, collenchyma and anisocytic stomata. The microscopical powder studies of Rumex
vesicarius Linn indicate the presence of a lignified vascular bundle (Xylem & Phloem),
Trichomes, Starch Grain and Stomata.
Physicochemical parameters such as alcohol soluble and hexane soluble extractive value,
total ash content, acid insoluble ash value, water soluble ash value and Loss on drying were
determined.
The preliminary phytochemical screening result showed the presence of carbohydrate,
cardiac glycoside, flavonoids, alkaloids and Tannis in the ethanolic extract of Symplocos
racemosa Roxb (ESR) And N-hexane extract of Symplocos racemosa Roxb (NSR) showed
the presence of cardiac glycoside, alkaloids, Tannis. The preliminary phytochemical
screening result of ethyl acetate extract of Rumex vesicarius Linn (EARV) showed the presence of cardiac glycoside, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, steroids and vitamin C. And an
ethanolic extract of Rumex vesicarius Linn (ERV) showed the presence of carbohydrate,
cardiac glycoside, alkaloids, tannins and vitamin C.
Conclusion: The results of the studies can provide standards for the identification of both the
plants.
