Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Abutilon Indicum (Linn.) Sw. of family Malvaceae is considered as the source of “Atibala” by Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India. Seeds of this plant are available in the market in the name of “Baladana”. It is observed that, Abutilon glaucum (Linn.) Sw. of family Malvaceae, found in certain parts of India, is being used by traditional vaidyas and also available in market in the name of “Atibala”. Pharmacognostical and physico-chemical study of the seeds of A. indicum (Linn.) Sw. and A. glaucum (Linn.) Sw. is lacking. Hence, the present study was designed to evaluate the above characters of seeds of both the plants, including their powder characters. Seeds of A. indicum (Linn.) Sw. and A. glaucum (Linn.) Sw. were collected from local farm house of Jamnagar, Gujarat and are authenticated by expert taxonomist. Morphologically, these two seeds are much more identical except their colour and surface characters. A. glaucum (Linn.) Sw. is having more pitted and stellate hairs located near the hilum region in comparison to A. indicum (Linn.) Sw. Both these seeds can be easily differentiated by the presence of trichomes such as simple unicellular trichomes in A. glaucum Sw. The length of the arms of stellate trichomes in A. indicum Sw. are shorter, where they are almost double in height in A. glaucum Sw. Similarly cluster of crystals calcium oxalates are present in cells of endosperm in A. indicum Sw only and not found in A. glaucum Sw.
