The current study aims to establish the quality control parameters for the bark as it secreted more useful resin.&lt;strong&gt; Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; Anatomical studies and physiochemical evaluation of the bark was carried out according to the standard procedure was given in WHO/QCMMP guidelines and Indian Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia. The anatomical studies of tissues were taken as photographs with different magnifications by using Nikon lab photo 2 microscopic Unit. The elemental analysis was done by using Perkin Elmer 5000 an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The different cell components were studied and measured quantitatively. The calcium oxalate prismatic crystals were estimated about 10&amp;times;10 or 10&amp;times;5&amp;mu;m in size. The sclereids were very long of unlimited length and 10&amp;mu;m in thickness. The long narrow lignified fibers has been found and estimated about 210&amp;ndash;260&amp;mu;m long and about 10&amp;mu;m thick. The height of the ray is up to 350&amp;mu;m in height and 60&amp;mu;m in breadth. The physiochemical parameters such as total ash and acid insoluble ash (5.52% w/w, 2.66% w/w, respectively), extractive values (aqueous 4.55% w/w and alcoholic 6.05% w/w), foreign organic matter (2.4%) and loss on drying (7.09% w/w) were also estimated. An elemental analysis result shows the quantity of elements (&amp;mu;g/g) were present in the bark powder. Among the elements Mn-73.6, Cu-65.4, Cr-49.5 were major contents, while Pd-25.6 and Zn-35.4 were the minor contents. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The current study report will be unique finger print for microscopical evaluation of bark of this tree and also used to differentiate the plant species among &lt;em&gt;Canarium L&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key words: &lt;/strong&gt; Burseraceae, Western Ghats, Quality control, Siddha medicine, Black dammer, Rheumatism.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original Article</style></work-type><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ragunathan Muthuswamy&lt;sup&gt;*,a&lt;/sup&gt; and R.
