Leaves have long been employed as a traditional remedy by the Cholanaikan tribe of South India to treat various ailments. &lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Pharmacological and physicochemical evaluation of &lt;em&gt;P. heyneana&lt;/em&gt; leaf has been carried out to determine its macro and microscopic characters, and also some of its quantitative characters as per standard procedures. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The pharmacognostical evaluation of &lt;em&gt;P. heyneana&lt;/em&gt; leaves revealed the presence of characteristic microscopic features of the crude drug like cystoliths in upper epidermis, helicocytic stomata in lower epidermis, large number of peculiar shaped, huge (200-400 &lt;em&gt;&amp;mu;&lt;/em&gt;m) foliar sclereids, absence of palisade tissue in the lamina etc. Powder microscopy showed the presence of calcium oxalate crystals, stone cells, multicellular trichomes, resinous blocks, spiral vessels, xylem fibre, starch grains, simple fibre etc. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; All the parameters evaluated in the study will aid to identify the authenticity of &lt;em&gt;P. heyneana&lt;/em&gt; leaf even from the crushed or powdered form.&lt;/p&gt;
