Abstract
Clerodendrum heterophyllum (Poir.) R.Br (Verbenaceae) is a medium sized shrub commonly known as tree of little star. Traditionally the genus Clerodendrum is well known for its therapeutical potential. But till now there is no scientific evidence regarding microscopy, macroscopy, physicochemical and biological properties available for the plant Clerodendrum heterophyllum. Hence the present study was aimed to investigate the necessary pharmacognostical parameters, physicochemical parameters such as foreign matter, loss on drying, ash values, pH, extractive values in different solvents such as ethanol, water and hexane etc. Furthermore, the phytochemical constituents were observed by High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography. The leaf and stem extract were also tested against few gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The generated information of the present study will provide data which is helpful in the correct identification, authentication and also helpful for the confirmation of the therapeutical potential of the plant.
