Oxalis corniculata Linn is an annual herb commonly known as Indian horrel belonging to the family Oxalidaceae. It is found to uses as, anthelminitic, astringent, diuretic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, cardiac disorders, diarrheoa, dysmenorrhoea, hepatic disorders, eye disease, scurvy and toxicity. This research work deals with the Pharmacognostical and Phytochemical studies on leaves of Oxalis corniculata Linn microscopic photographs of transverse section (T.S) of Oxalis corniculata should distinct presentation of epidermal trichomes, calcium oxalate crystals and stomata. Standardization of the plant were done with the help of extractive values [ alcohol soluble extractive (16%w/w), water soluble extractive (24%w/w)], total ash (15%w/w), acid insoluble ash (1.7%w/w), water soluble ash (1.8%w/w), sulphated ash (0.9%w/w). Pytochemical analysis showed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, flavanoids, phenols, tannins, volatile oils, aminoacids and proteins. The dried coarsely powdered Oxalis corniculata plant was extracted with ethanol 600C in soxhlet apparatus for 24 hours. Another extract is prepared in cold maceration method for 7 days using water. The both extract was collected and preserved in a vaccum desicator. Fluorescence analysis was carried out for the plant powder and extract. This study various Pharmacognostical and physiochemical parameters for the identification and standardization of the plant material and Phytochemical screening for determination of active constituents.
