Such investigation may provide basis for authentication, standardization and characterization of genuine drug. The details of information regarding the nomenclature, distribution, organoleptic analysis, macro and microscopic characters, solubility tests, fluorescence analysis, preliminary phytochmeical screening and pictorial guide established in this study facilitate in authentication of genuine drug Azadirachta indica (Neem) from its substitute Melia azedarach, Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) from Chenopodium ambrosoides, Cassia angustifolia (Sana Makki) from Cassia obtusifolia, Centella asiatica (Brahmi) from Bacopa monnieri, Cymbopogon citratus (Lemon Grass) from Cymbopogon jwarancusa, Lawsonia inermis (Henna) from Mirabilus jalapa and Nicotiana tabaccum (Tobbaco) from Helianthus annuus. It is concluded form this study that such type of findings will be useful in preparation of monographs on these plants particularly and establishing taxo-pharmacognostic standardization on identification, quality, purity and classification of the medicinal plants as per WHO guidelines for drug discovery development at global perspectives.
