Abstract :
The genus “ Clitoria” includes about 48 species under the family “Fabaceae”. Clitoria ternatea is a widely distributed floral garden plant in India.Literature search revealed numerous pharmacological actions, including nootropic, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic effects, have been observed in C.ternatea. For the treatment of snake bites, the roots, stems, and flowers are suggested. The flower’s powder microscopy reveals pitted vascular cells, elongated rectangular epidermal cells with thin walls, fiber, and two different kinds of trichomes: capitate glandular trichomes with an apical point and simple unicellular trichomes. According to the preliminary phytochemical analysis of the ethanolic extract, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, proteins, amino acids, flavanoids, saponins, carbohydrates, phenols, lignins, anthocyanins, and terpenoids are present.
Key Words: Clitoria ternatea, Pharmacognosy, Microscopy, Phytochemistry, Chemical constituents
