Abstract

The macro- and micromorphological characters of the stem, leaf and fruit of Ficus auriculata Lour. (Family Moraceae) cultivated in Egypt have been studied in order to find out the diagnostic features of these organs which can help in their identification in both entire and powdered forms. This study is considered as a method to check the genuineness of the raw drugs.
