Royle is used in traditional medicine for treatment of many diseases e.g. muscle pains, wounds and stomach problems where pharmacognostical studies are lacking. Many chemical constituents; luteolin, apigenin, luteolin glycosides, stigmasterol, daucosterol have been reported. The aim of this work was to perform a pharmacognostical evaluation. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Macroscopical, microscopical and physicochemical parameters were assessed.&lt;strong&gt; Results:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;E. acoroides&lt;/em&gt; has characteristic morphology. Microscopical studies indicated the presence of vessels, fiber, parenchyma cells, sclereids, tracheids and trichomes. Physicochemical parameters of &lt;em&gt;E. acoroides&lt;/em&gt; rhizome; foreign matter, loss on drying and total ash content were measured. As well as chemical investigation through TLC and HPLC were specified. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The present study of &lt;em&gt;E. acoroides&lt;/em&gt; rhizome provides useful information that can serve as a diagnostic tool for the standardization of &lt;em&gt;E. acoroides &lt;/em&gt;and will be helpful in characterization of the crude drug in the market.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6s</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">s89</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supattra Klangprapun&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Benjaporn Buranrat&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Wanida Caichompoo&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Somsak Nualkaew&lt;sup&gt;2,* &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
