Development of Standardization Parameters of Plumeria pudica Linn: A wild species of Central India

Abstract

Plumeria pudica Linn. commonly known as Nag champa is a fast growing, medium size plant belongs to family
Apocynaceae. The plant is grown wildly or planted in garden and used traditionally for the treatment of fungal
infections, inflammations and other vulnerable diseases. The fresh leaves and dried powder plant material were
studied macro-morphologically and anatomically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation of plant material and
WHO recommended parameters for the standardization were also performed. The present paper deals with study of
various standardization parameters of P. pudica leaves to establish the quality control parameters of the species.
