Heine synonym &lt;em&gt;Hygrophila spinosa&lt;/em&gt; T. Anderson is used in the homoeopathic system of medicine belongs to the family Acanthaceae. Plant contains terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids and is traditionally known as an aphrodisiac, renal tonic and for its health-promoting properties, this drug is most popularly used by homoeopathic practitioners for the treatment of urticaria, conjunctivitis, gastroenteritis, nausea etc. Complete morphological characterization of whole plant has not been reported so for. This study may provide complete information on the basis of morphological, anatomical and powdered studies. That will assist to differentiate between adulterants and authentic raw drug to maintain the quality of drugs. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; The aim of the present study is to examine the morpho-anatomical, powder and fluorescence analysis of whole plant i.e. root, stem, and leaf of the plant used in homoeopathy.&lt;strong&gt; Material and methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The macroscopical, microscopical and powdered analysis of drug was performed. For morphological study simple observational methods applied while for anatomical and bio-statistical parameters microscopy including powder microscopy was performed by using different methods. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The drug was in form of dried pieces of leaves, small quadrangular pieces of stem with spines and roots. Microscopy showed few features like aerenchymatous cortex in the middle region of root; semi-quadrangular outline, four vascular bundles at each corner in young stem and developing fascicular vascular bundles between them, in mature stem 6 vascular bundles viz. 4 vascular bundles at corner and 2 vascular bundles present in between opposite to each other; broad cortical aerenchyma in mature stem, leaf amphistomatous, anomocytic stomata, crescent-shaped meristele in leaf. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; Present study can assist the diagnostic characters of &lt;em&gt;Hygrophila spinosa&lt;/em&gt; may be taken as pharmacognostical standards for the identification of plant drug.&lt;/p&gt;

Var sahibi and hussaini, family vitiaceae as per WHO guidelines. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; In present investigation, the detailed pharmacognostic studies were carried out in terms of organoleptic properties, macroscopical, microscopical characters, physicochemical parameters, preliminary phytochemical screening for major groups of compounds and other WHO recommended parameters for standardization of the seeds of &lt;em&gt;Vitis vinifera&lt;/em&gt; L. Var. sahibi and hussaini. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Macro and microscopic characters of &lt;em&gt;Vitis vinifera&lt;/em&gt; L. seeds Var. sahibi and hussaini were analyzed. Physicochemical parameters such as foreign matter, extractive values, ash content, pH and fluorescent behaviour of seed powder were done by using WHO recommended parameters. A preliminary phytochemical screening was done and revealed the presence of different phytoconstituents like carbohydrates, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, sterols and fixed oil. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; This is the first report of its kind on the pharmacognostic studies of &lt;em&gt;Vitis vinifera&lt;/em&gt; L. seeds Var. sahibi and hussaini and will serve as valuable source of information towards establishing pharmacognostic standards on identification, purity, quality and classification.&lt;/p&gt;
