ABSTRACT
Pharmacognostic investigation of fresh, powdered and anatomical sections of wood of Sesbania sesban were carried out to determine its macromorphological, micromorphological and chemomicromorphological profiles. Qualitative studies indicated the presence of uni to biseriate medullary rays, pitted xylem fibers, big vessels in groups, xylem parenchyma, pith, calcium oxalate crystals, starch grains, lignified fibers, yellowish white coloured wood, bitter taste and cylindrical shape. These findings will be useful towards establishing pharmacognostic standards on identification, purity, quality and classification of the plant, which is gaining relevance in plant drug research.
Key words: Sesbania sesban, Pharmacognostic investigation, galactomannan
