Abstract
Antigonon leptopus (Polygonaceae) is an evergreen
climber native to Mexico. The parts of this plant like seeds,
tubers and flowers are consumed as food in several parts of the
world. Tea prepared from aerial parts is used as a cold remedy
and pain relief. The leaves are used for diabetes, urinary
problems, low blood pressure and as a heart tonic. It also has
Xanthine oxidase inhibitor and anticancer activity. Though
pharmacogostic evaluation of other plant parts of Antigonon
leptopus is already carried out, no standards are available for the
leaf. The present study has been carried out for the
authentication and to lay down the standards for the
identification of the leaves. Therefore, the fresh leaves and dried
powder is used for the microscopical, macroscopical,
physicochemical and fluorescence analysis.
