ABSTRACT

India being a rich repository of medicinal plants in world market.The seeds being a complex organ of multiple origin. Metabolically seed most active that secretes and synthesizes efficient compounds that can be exploited for drug formulations.The present study investigated seed morphology, anatomy and preliminary phytochemical analysis of Hibiscus manihot Linn. The micromorphological characters of spermoderm, have been found to be consistent variations specifying the seed taxa. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of seed surface shows tufts of papillate hairs, trichomes with ornamented cellular variations. Seed anatomy also helps to study the internal cellular structure of the seedcoat. Different cellular variations present in them. Presence of epidermis, palisade layer, tannin cells and endosperm layer in cellular variations. The preliminary phytochemical analysis in seed detected various phytochemicals present in them which is very helpful for drug preparations. Flavonoids, phenols, fixed oil and fats were detected in aqueous, methanol, ethyl acetate extract. In methanol large number of phytochemicals were detected as compared to aqueous and ethyl acetate. Medicinally seeds are very important. The study helps for identification of seeds, solving taxonomic problems and for theruptic efficacy also.
