ABSTRACT

In the present study leaves of Lagenaria siceraria was subjected to pharmacognostical studies such as macroscopic, microscopic and micromeritics parameters were also observed. Physicochemical studies such as ash values, extractive values of plant part were carried out to confirm the identity of plant. Ash values such as total ash, acid insoluble ash and water- soluble ash were determined and recorded. Extractive values such as alcohol soluble extractives and water-soluble extractive values were also determined. The leaves of Lagenaria siceraria shows the presence of phytoconstituents such as carbohydrates, flavonoids, terpenoids, flavanoids and tannins. This article also covered important pharmacological profile of the plant Lagenaria siceraria. Keywords: Lagenaria siceraria, Microscopy, Pharmacognosy, Phytochemistry
