Pharmacognostical and phytochemical studies on Portulaca grandiflora

Abstract

Portulaca grandiflora ariel plants is a perennial plant & grows on tropical or subtropical area and belongs to family of Portulacaceae. Portulaca grandiflora contain biologically active compounds and has various pharmacological actions. Materials & Methods: Pharmacognostical and phytochemical studies involves study of macroscopic, microscopic, phytochemical screening & TLC of Portulaca grandiflora. Result: All Pharmacognostical parameters of Kiss-me-quick were carried out. The morphological evaluations were done to ascertain the standard reference values for standardization of the plant materials whereas the microscopy, the section study of the leaves of Kiss-me-quick shows the presence of trichomes, xylem, fibers, crystal, phylum, and anisocytic type of stomata is present.
