(Fam.Malvaceae) is a small evergreen shrub cultivated in gardens throughout India. The decoction of flowers is used in Indian system of Medicine for bronchial inflammation, urinary astringent and cardio tonic, to promote growth and to prevent graying of hair. The dried flowers of &lt;em&gt;Rhododendron arboreum&lt;/em&gt; Sm. (Fam.Ericaceae) are morphologically looking similar to &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus rosa-sinensis&lt;/em&gt; and used as adulterant in the market. Hence, the morphological, Micro-morphological and powder microscopical studies on dried flowers of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus rosa-sinensis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Rhododendron arboreum &lt;/em&gt;was carried out and reported. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;To identify the dried flowers of Hisbiscus rosa-sinensis macro-microscopically and to differentiate it from adulterant &lt;em&gt;Rhododendron arboreum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; The morphology and powder microscopy were observed following standard methods and photographed. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The colour, taste, arrangement and appearance of calyx, corolla and stamen, trichomes, calcium oxalate crystals, sclereids, oil globules and pollen grains are found to be differentiating diagnostic characters in raw drug/powdered form of dried flowers of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus rosa-sinensis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Rhododendron arboreum&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The finding of present study is helpful in standardization of formulation consists of &lt;em&gt;Hibiscus rosa-sinensis &lt;/em&gt;as ingredient in their powdered form and also for authentication/identification of dried flowers of&lt;em&gt; Hibiscus rosa-sinensis&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Don (syn. &lt;em&gt;Symplocos paniculata&lt;/em&gt; (Thunb.) Miq.), Fam. Symplocaceae is extensively used in Indian medicine under the names of &lt;em&gt;Lodhra/Patikalodhra.&lt;/em&gt; Mainly it is used to cure uterine complaints, vaginal and menstrual disorders. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; To investigate the phytochemicals from the n-hexane extract of the stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Symplocos crataegoides &lt;/em&gt;Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don., using GC-MS analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Stem bark of &lt;em&gt;S.crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; was extracted by Soxhlet extraction method using n-hexane. The extract was injected by splitless injection mode into the GC MS 5975 C Agilent equipped with a QP- 5000 (quadrupole) Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Identification of 57 compounds from n-hexane extract. Those compounds were identified by close matches with standard MS spectra and compared with NIST - 11 and WILEY library data. Undecane (7.51%) was found as major compound followed by Isopropyl myristate, Dodecane, 1,2,4-trimethyl-benzene, Octacosane, 2-methyl-decane, 2-ethyl-1,2-dimethyl-benzene, 1,2,3,5- tetramethyl-benzene etc., other constituents were found to be in traceable quantities.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; GC-MS analysis of &lt;em&gt;S. crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; revealed certain interesting facts of presentation of various phytoconstituents in the stem bark. The presence of various phytoconstituents contributes to the medicinal activity of the plant.&lt;/p&gt;
