Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The present study reveals the macroscopical, microscopical and preliminary phytochemical investigation of Alternanthera bettzichiana (Regel) Nicols. Very scanty reports are available on microscopical and phytochemical studies, hence, the present study was undertaken to investigate the same. Some of the diagnostic features of leaves and petiole are the presence of arc shaped petiole, amphistomatic, non-glandular trichomes, stomatal complex mostly diacytic and scanty cellular contents. While the preliminary phytochemical studies shows promising presence of an array of phytoconstituents viz., alkaloids, steroids, cardiac and coumarin glycosides, proteins and sugars. The persona from the medical world runs after those plants who have been seated in the range of medicinal plants. But, the least exploited plants can occupy unparallel place in the natural components of the environment by carving their roles
