Background: The focus on herbal plants as medicine is increasing rapidly because of their efficacy and less side effects. The medicinal plants are great alternative as they are renewable and non exhaustive resources. In India these medicinal plants have been part of the people’s life dating back from centuries. Objectives: The present study is aimed to evaluate anatomical characterization of stem and root of Indigofera tirunelvelica Sanjappa for the first time which can be used in the identification and standardisation of Indigofera tirunelvelica Sanjappa. Results: The stem and root of the plant were evaluated for their microscopic features. In that histochemical localisation of secondary metabolites and transverse section of stem and root were studied. The histochemical localisation result reveals the presence of terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids and lignin were found in epidermal, cortical and xylem regions of the stem. Alkaloids, Terpenoids, phenols and lignin were found in the different areas of root. Conclusion: The present study thus emphasis the potentiality of the plant as a drug.
