Ipomoea aquatic (Forsk), also known as water spinach, of Convolvulaceae family has been originated in China and distributed throughout India, Sri Lanka, Tropical Asia, Africa, and Australia. Ipomoea aquatic have been used in traditional medicine as a laxative, recommended for piles, and certain conditions with sleeplessness and head-ache while the plant has a calming effect. It is also supposed to possess an insulin-like activity according to indigenous medicine in Sri Lanka. No detailed work on pharmacognostic and development of quality parameters has been done on aerial parts of this plant specifically to determine the anatomical and other physicochemical standards required for its quality control. The present study deals with Pharmacognostic evaluation of leaves and aerial parts in terms of morphological, anatomical, quantitative microscopical examinations, including powder microscopy and physiochemical parameters including determination of different physical constants like ash values, extractive values etc. and also fluorescence analysis. The findings of the current study can be useful to progress and surge further scientific investigation on the leaves and aerial arts of this species and would be of immense use to identify and establish the authenticity of the plant Ipomoea aquatic Forsk.
