Daucus carota is a widely cultivated crop with traditional claims for its antiurolithiatic potential. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; Present study was an attempt to investigate the antilithic potential of D. carota root extract (DCRE) against calcium oxalate (CaOx) urolithiasis by employing &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; methods.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Nucleation, growth and aggregation assay of CaOx crystallization were used. FT-IR analysis was used for characterizing CaOx crystals. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; DCRE exhibited significant inhibition of nucleation, growth and aggregation of CaOx crystals. It produced a favorable morphological transformation of CaOx crystals from calcium oxalate monohydrate to calcium oxalate dihydrate. FT-IR analysis confirmed formation of calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals to be utilized for growth and aggregation assays. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; DCRE possesses significant antiurolithiatic activity against CaOx urolithiasis&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; which could be attributed to its saponins, tannins, flavonoids and polyphenolic content.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">880</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweta Bawari, Archana Negi Sah&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Devesh Tewari&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It is the national flower of Nepal and state tree of Uttarakhand. The present study pertains to the pharmacognostical evaluation of &lt;em&gt;R. arboreum&lt;/em&gt; from Uttarakhand. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopy, microscopy by free hand section cutting and with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were done along with the physicochemical analysis. Preliminary phytochemical studies and fluorescence analysis was also carried out. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Results revealed that the leaves contain paracytic or amphiparacytic stomata in cluster form. The epidermal cells were long and spongy. The cells also contain some grooves and papillae throughout the surface. Preliminary phytochemical analysis showed the presence of different secondary metabolites like alkaloids carbohydrates, phenols, proteins, saponins, and tannins. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;R. arboreum&lt;/em&gt; from Uttarakhand region was investigated for its morphological and cytological characteristics with the help of scanning electron microscopy for the first time. The results provide details on the presence of several specific characters which are important for the identification of the genuine crude drug.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">527</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Devesh Tewari, Archana Negi Sah&lt;sup&gt;*&lt;/sup&gt;, Sweta Bawari &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
