Powder microscopy, physicochemical analysis, elemental analysis, fluorescence analysis, preliminary phytochemical screening and estimation of major phytoconstituents of whole herb powder are carried out. &lt;em&gt;In vitro &lt;/em&gt;biological evaluation of Blepharisrepens carried out for antioxidant potential by DPPH method, &lt;em&gt;in vitro&lt;/em&gt; anticancer activity by SRB assay and antimicrobial efficacy by both agar well diffusion and bioautography methods. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; Morphologically, roots are cylindrical and elongated, leaf has symmetric base, entire margin, acute apex while stem is cylindrical, elongated. Microscopic evaluation reveals that both leaf and stem are covered with trichomes. Leaf has unicellular uniseriate trichomes while stem has multi-cellular uniseriate covering trichomes. Physicochemical evaluation revealed that total ash, acid insoluble ash and water-soluble ash values 13.85 7.7 and 3.1% respectively. Petroleum ether, alcohol and water extractive values found 0.84%, 1.64%, and 3.52% respectively. Loss on drying value is found 3.43%. Element analysis of whole herb confirms presence of nitrogen, sulphate and carbonate. Fluorescence tests are performed by treatment with different acids and alkalis and exposure to ultraviolet light. Phytochemical screening shows presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and saponins. Estimation of phytochemicals like carbohydrate, alkaloid, tannin and flavonoid found 5.78%, 1.43%, 5.7% and 1.48% respectively. Biological evaluation reveals that plant has significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity while plant is devoid of &lt;em&gt;in-vitro &lt;/em&gt;anticancer activity against human leukemia cell line HL-60.&lt;/p&gt;

Tubers of all the five species are distinct in their morphology as well as anatomical characters. Physicochemical characters (Ash values, Loss on drying (LOD), swelling index and foaming index) as well as total saponin content shows great variability among five species. Results of &lt;em&gt;In-vitro &lt;/em&gt;antioxidant by DPPH method shows difference in antioxidant potential between tubers of all five species. Extract of tubers of all five species do not show any type of &lt;em&gt;In-vitro&lt;/em&gt; anticancer activity by SRB method against HL 60 leukemia cell line. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; All of the evaluated parameters are very good pharmacognostic standards for future comparative identification and authentication of specific species because all five species shows morphological, anatomical, chemical differences as well as varies in antioxidant potential.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">317</style></section><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sharada Laxman Deore&lt;sup&gt;*1&lt;/sup&gt;, Neha Brijmohan Jajoo&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, Kailaspati Prabhakar Chittam&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, Tushar Atmaram Deshmukh&lt;sup&gt;3 &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
