Fig. 6From: Pharmacognostic standardisation of the leaves of Costus afer Ker Gawl. (Zingiberaceae) and Palisota hirsuta (Thunb.) K. Schum. (Commelinaceae)A Fluorescence analysis of Costus afer and Palisota hirsuta at daylight. Reagents like picric acid, glacial acetic acid, 50% HCl were added to the various powdered plant samples and observed at daylight. The different colours observed were recorded. B Fluorescence analysis of Costus afer and Palisota hirsuta at 365Â nm. Reagents like picric acid, glacial acetic acid, 50% HCl were added to the various powdered plant samples and observed under Ultraviolet rays at 365Â nm. The different colours observed were recorded. C Fluorescence analysis of Costus afer and Palisota hirsuta at 254Â nm. Reagents like picric acid, glacial acetic acid, 50% HCl were added to the various powdered plant samples and observed under Ultraviolet light at 254Â nm. The different colours observed were recordedBack to article page
