Abstract

The genus Tribulusbelongs to the family Zygophyllaceae comprises approximately 25 species that grow as prostrate. This study will collect Tribulus terrestris L. and Tribulus lanuginosus L. and analyse their macroscopic, microscopic and phytochemical properties. Selected plant species were collected from three geographical locations in Maharashtra State, India.To confirm the quality and authenticity of plants, standard pharmacognostic procedures described in standard reference books were used to conduct a comparative analysis of Tribulussps. The current study examines pharmacognostic studies on its numerous parts, such as the stem, leaf, flower and fruit.The Study showsT. terretris L., leaf sections demonstrate the presence of unicellular trichomes that are substantially denser in T. lanuginosus L. In numerous tests for qualitative analysis of distinct Tribulussps.phytochemical substances such as alkaloids, starch, carbohydrates, tannin, saponins, glycosides, phenol, flavonoids, and proteins were found to be present.
