The discipline of Pharmacognosy has undergone revolutionary changes in the last two decades. Our understanding of plants and their crude drugs, their identification, and evaluation process is in need of the Pharma industry. The newer identification methods have made inroads in understanding plants and their characters. It is our endeavor to provide a comprehensive textbook for practical Pharmacognosy to the students of the degree in Pharmacy, Pharm D, and Diploma in Pharmacy. We are thankful to Publisher Lambert Academic Publishing, European Union, and staff members for their cooperation in bringing out this book.
