Author(s): Madhu C. Divakar and S. Lakshmi Devi

The Wrightia arborea (Dennst) mabb leaves were collected, dried and studied to determine the various parameters of pharmacognostical standards such as ash and extractive values, phytochemical tests and microscopical characters of leaf powder. The shade dried powder and different types of extracts (viz., methanol, 70% ethanol, aqueous, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether) have also been analyzed for their fluorescence characters.
