Psoralea corylifolia Linn. belonging to Fabaceae family is an important endangered plant that has been therapeutically used to treat different pathological manifestations since ages. It is commonly known as Bakuchi in Sanskrit. Though it is an important plant, till date, no pharmacognostical reports have been available on its seed. A lot of adulterations are also present in the market. The present study is aimed towards evaluating pharmacognostical and histochemical characteristics of the seeds of P.corylifolia Linn. in detail. Macroscopic and microscopic pharmacognostical characters of seeds and histochemical studies were noted by following standard methods. Pharmacognostical evaluation of seed shows the presence of volatile oil, silica deposits and stone cells. The observations found in current work can be considered as reference standards in future studies.
补骨脂属于豆科植物，是一种重要的濒危植物，自古以来就被用于治疗各种病理表现。在梵语中它通常被称为“补骨脂”。尽管它是一种重要的植物，但迄今为止，尚未有关于其种子的生药学报道。市场上也存在大量掺假现象。本研究旨在详细评估补骨脂种子的生药学和组织化学特征。通过遵循标准方法记录种子的宏观和微观生药学特征以及组织化学研究。种子的生药学评估显示存在挥发油、硅质沉积物和石细胞。当前工作中发现的观察结果可被视为未来研究的参考标准。
