Pharmacognostic characters of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. leaves: macroscopy, microscopy, and phytochemical analysis
Background: Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth, a medium to large tree belonging to the family Fabaceae, is commonly used as a medicinal plant for various disease conditions. Aim: The aim of this study was to establish a pharmacognostical profile for the leaves of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth in order to aid its identification and authentication. Method: Standard macroscopic methods were employed to analyze the physical parameters of the Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth leaves. Fresh leaf samples and dried leaf powder were studied under a microscope to reveal the plant’s microscopic features. Preliminary phytochemical investigation of the plant material was also conducted using standard methods. Result: The results showed the presence of fibers, epidermal cells, stomata, sclereids, prismatic crystals, vascular bundles, and parenchyma cells. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of phenols, flavonoids, glycocides, terpenes, tannins, saponins, carbohydrates, and quinones. Conclusion: These pharmacognostical and preliminary phytochemical observations can be considered as standard for future studies.
