Abstract
Cordia dichotoma Forst.f syn C. obliqua Willd; C. myxa Roxb belonging to the family Boraginaceae is a medium sized evergreen tree widely distributed throughout the warmer parts of India. It is commonly called lasora or sapistan and serves as a promising cure against the diseases of kidney, liver, spleen, heart and blood. The powdered bark is applied to the skin in cases of broken bones before a plaster was applied, to improve healing. Bark powder is used externally in the treatment of skin diseases. Bark juice together with coconut oil is reported to treat colic. Present paper is an attempt to investigate the anatomical and morphological features of Cordia stem bark from the wild source so as to evaluate its micro structural characteristics. The study illustrates a set of diagnostic characters that can be considered as a first step in ensuring the identity and the degree of purity in the marketed sample of the drug. Keywords: Cordia Dichotoma Forst f. Stem Bark, Macro and Micromorphological Characterization, Unani Medicine
