The authentic samples are cleaned, powdered and passed through sieve No. 80. A few mg of powder was stained with saffranin, Toluidine blue and Iodine and photographed under different magnifications with the help of NICKON Labphot -2. HPTLC studies were followed by Sethi and Wagner &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt; method. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The colour, taste, cork cells, fibres, sclereids, starch grains, calcium oxalate crystals, number of spots and Rf values of HPTLC are found to be differentiating diagnostic characters in powdered form of &lt;em&gt;S. racemosa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;S. crataegoides&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The findings of the present study is believed to be helpful in standardization of Ayurvedic formulation containing stem bark of &lt;em&gt;S. racemosa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;S. crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; as ingredients in powder form. The study sets the specific microscopic protocol and HPTLC finger print of the two drugs and may lead to global acceptance and reputation of the Ayurvedic system.&lt;/p&gt;

Don (syn. &lt;em&gt;Symplocos paniculata&lt;/em&gt; (Thunb.) Miq.), Fam. Symplocaceae is extensively used in Indian medicine under the names of &lt;em&gt;Lodhra/Patikalodhra.&lt;/em&gt; Mainly it is used to cure uterine complaints, vaginal and menstrual disorders. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; To investigate the phytochemicals from the n-hexane extract of the stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Symplocos crataegoides &lt;/em&gt;Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don., using GC-MS analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Stem bark of &lt;em&gt;S.crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; was extracted by Soxhlet extraction method using n-hexane. The extract was injected by splitless injection mode into the GC MS 5975 C Agilent equipped with a QP- 5000 (quadrupole) Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Identification of 57 compounds from n-hexane extract. Those compounds were identified by close matches with standard MS spectra and compared with NIST - 11 and WILEY library data. Undecane (7.51%) was found as major compound followed by Isopropyl myristate, Dodecane, 1,2,4-trimethyl-benzene, Octacosane, 2-methyl-decane, 2-ethyl-1,2-dimethyl-benzene, 1,2,3,5- tetramethyl-benzene etc., other constituents were found to be in traceable quantities.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; GC-MS analysis of &lt;em&gt;S. crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; revealed certain interesting facts of presentation of various phytoconstituents in the stem bark. The presence of various phytoconstituents contributes to the medicinal activity of the plant.&lt;/p&gt;
