A PHARMACOGNOSTIC DISCOURSE ON IMPATIENS WALLERIANA
AbstractPharmacognostic study is important in laying down diagnostic parameters for standardization and authentication of plant materials in their fresh, dried or powdered state. Pharmacognostic study serves as a tool to identify adulterants and prevent substitution. Authentic plant material serves as raw material for herbal drug industry and local markets where people prefer folk medicine. Impatiens walleriana (Family – Balsaminaceae) is a folk medicine. Pharmacognostic studies on Impatiens walleriana species are not reported and our findings shall contribute to proper authentication of the plant material and also resolve the complexity associated with species having same common names as other species in the same genera. In the present study various parameters organoleptic, chemomicroscopic, macroscopic and microscopic characteristics have been studied in addition to fluorescence, physical and photochemical analysis. This study therefore generates resourceful data helping to identify Impatiens walleriana and guide researchers to explore therapeutic worthiness of this plant.
