Memecylon is the genus of the family Melastomataceae and their identification is somewhat difficult as a result of similarities in their intraspecies morphologies. Thus, identification of these species is much strenuous. The present study investigated the seed morphology, pharmacognostic, phytochemical, and antioxidant potential of Memecylon fruits.
