Abstract
The purpose of present study to evaluate the morphological, microscopic, powder characteristics, fluroscence analysis, physicochemical evaluation, and phytochemical exploration of Plumeria rubra flower. The flower of Plumeria rubra were authenticated and shade dried, petals were separated and powder charecterstic, beheaviour and fluroscence analysis were studied. Dried powder was then extracted with different solvents. The macroscopic and microscopic feature of Plumeria rubra include the presence of starch grain, pollen grain, epidermal cells, parenchymatous cells of corolla. Powder showed characteristic fluorescent property when treated with different reagent the physicochemical investigation revealed values for moisture content, pH, ash values and extractive values, swelling index, which are within the World Health Organization standards for the crude drug from medicinal plants. From present study it can be concluded that on the dried flowers of Plumeria rubra the above pharmacognostical characteristics, physiochemical evaluation and phytochemical exploration, together may be utilized for the future studies.
