The present study attempts to standardize the pharmacognostic, physic-chemical parameters, UV-Vis and HPTLC fingerprinting of the plant, Ruellia tuberosa. Various trichome morphotypes were the unique observation seen in the plant by anatomical as well as powder microscopic studies. Four prominent peaks were detected by UV-Visible spectroscopy and HPTLC fingerprint revealed many peaks with a wide range of Rf values. The present study of botanical and chemical screening will be useful for developing pharmacopeial standards for R. tuberosa.
