In these prepartions he has mentioned different proportions ofingredients though the procedure and Yantra are the same . He has further suggested that ifduring heating the mouth of Kachakupi is blocked by accumulation of fumes of Gandhaka andNausadara, it should be cleared by Tapta Salaka (1/399-400).In Bhava Prakash, Shri Bhava Mishra has described one preparation of Rasa Sinudra in 5thchapter of 1st part (5/44-46). In this connection, the commentator has mentioned that the authorhas not clearly mentioned about artificial Gandhaka, so the Amalasar Gandhaka should be used.In Rasa Sanketa Kalika text the author has also mentioned a few resembling preparations ofRasasindura with different names even though the procedure and ingredients are the same (seeTable). - Dhatu Ksaya Haragauri Rasa 1st (4/90-92) - Dhatu Ksaya Haragauri Rasa 2nd (4/93) Dhatu Ksaya Haragauri Rasa 3rd (4/94)The Rasa Yoga Sagara is a comprehensive compilation of Rasa Shastra.

Y. Patil College of Ayurveda and Research Institute, Nerul, Navimumbai,Maharashtra . 400706. act:Ayurveda is a science which deals with medicinal plants since hundreds of years. A completeunderstanding of plants involves number of disciplines including commerce, botany,horticulture, chemistry, quality control and pharmacology 1.Atharvaveda is the oldest text that describes morphology to some extent2. Ayurveda a traditionalscience has its own and unique way of study of botany and identification (pharmacognosy) ofplants. As in those times plant were the only source of medicine botanical andpharmacognostical studies were well developed. Charak and Sushrut describe various termsbased on salient morphological traits of the plants.A classical text called ‗Vrukshayurved‘ has vivid description of botanical aspect and variousnighnatus have contributed to this aspect in different ways. This paper discusses aboutdescription of botany and pharmacognosyin various text of Ayurveda .Key words : Botany , Pharmacognosy, synonyms , morphology.Introduction:Pharmacognosy is the study of natural substances principally plants , that find use primarily inmedicine. The word was coined in 19th century to designate the discipline related to medicinalplants. The word is derived from Greek ‗pharmacon‘ means a drug and ‗gignosco‘ meaning toacquire knowledge. It was first coined by Johann Adam, in his hand written manuscript―Lehrbuch der Materia Medica‖1 .pharmacgnosy and pharmacology of Ayurveda in India was atits peak in Ayurveda even before 19th century. This can be clearly understood from one of theverses in Charaksamhita Sutra sthana 1st chapter where he says ―the person who is well aquintedwith the names and the external features of the plant as well as the proper use of the plantaccording to their properties, should only be considered as a physician3. Such a stress was laid onidentification of the plants that shows how developed the science was.Botanical aspect in Vrukshayurved.2The text named Vrukshayurvedis of immense importance, thename itself is selfexplainatory,Vruksha is tree Ayurved is science , it deals with science of trees.There are two different persons who have authored Vrukshayurved one is Vrukshayurved byParashar other is Vrukshayurved by Surpal. Of these Vrukshayurved by Parashar containsextensive information regarding botany, whereas Vrukshayurved of Surpal discusses theagricultural methods.4

(eight parts of plants viz roots , bark , stem, heart wood , the sap,the exudate, oleoresins, spines and thorns, are again elaborately discussed here).In all these chapters the botany is vigorously described, each part of the plant is thoroughlystudied e.g. Parts of leaf – Vrinta- petoiole ,Paksha-lamina, patrasira- leaf veins. The termVallari is used for inflorescence in ―pushpangasutriyaadhyaya‖ the types of inflorescence, partsof flower, and so much so internal structure of ovary is also described. Classification of plants inthis text is based upon the habits and some other morphological characteristics, similarities anddissimilarities, which is again a scientific approach of classifying the plants.Classification is as follows:1.2.3.4.Vanaspati -plants where flowers are hidden.Vanaspatya- plants which bear visible flowers and fruits.Virudhvalli- creepers having tendrils.Gulmakhupa- - have short branches and roots.All these have been again described separately in various chapters.Plants are classified into different groups called as ‗Ganas‘ on the basis of their morphologicalcharacteristics of various organs such as leaf, flower, fruit, stem, heartwood, likePuplikpushpagana, (ieRutaceae family ) all citrus fruits are included in this gana, description ofthis gana is as follows , these have spines and leaves are aromatic, bear stipules, etcVrukshayurved of Surapaal4Surpaal in his text Vrukshayurvedpredominantly mentions agricultural procedures. Proceduresthat increase the life span of plants , yield , shape of fruit , eg fumigation of Haridrachoorna,Vidangachoorna, shashakmansa, Arjun pushpa , madhu,etc given to keep the plants floweringfor all the seasons. There are some tactics given in this text which claim to increase the size andthe taste of some fruits egNarangi when treated with meat, jaggery, and milk improves thequality of fruit. He in ‗Vichitraadhyaya‘ mentions about procedures for obtaining seedless fruits,changing the color of flowers, etc. In ‗Padapvivaksha‘ propagation of plants by different partslike seeds, stems, tubers etc.CharakSamhita3.A systematic study of plants includes scientific classification which is elaborately given inCharakSamhita sutra sthana 1st chapter, as Vanaspati , Vanaspatya , Oushadhi, Virudh .Themedicinal plants are classified into groups called as ‗Gana‘ based on their pharmacological5

There is detailedmention as to which part of the plant should be used for medicinal purpose, eg root, bark,heartwood, gum, juice, leaves, latex, oils is seen.Collection of medicinal plants is an important issue which has been mentioned elaborately by allthe samhitas. Which drugs or parts should be collected in which seasons is of greater importancethis shows they had knowledge of active principle‘s maturation period.In Vimanasthana chapter 8th under the heading of ―Dravya Parikshan‖ (examination of drug)Charak has mentioned the aspects of drug standardization. The drugs used for treatment shouldbe thoroughly examined for its nature, attributes, effects, special effects if any, its habitat, itstime of collection should be given importance, what are the conditions it is stored in , if anyprocessing is required then one should see its standard procedures , in what dose should be thedrug given, and its pharmacology (effect of the drug on the body) should be properly examined .Parameters of drug standardization9i.eAuthentication, organoleptic evaluation, are almost takencare of by Charak.Synonyms the first rate toolsAs there was need of precise identification of plants, the well-developed system of nomenclaturewith basonym and synonym came into existence. Each drug has a ‗legitimate name‘ andsynonyms 5. These proved to be first rate tools for identification as these names were given onsome external characteristics, internal structures, place where the drugs are indigenous to, andthe pharmacological properties. Rajnighantu6 gives a vivid description on the basis of coining ofthe names. They are:1.2.3.4.5.6.7.Rudhi (traditional usage) 7Prabhav (special effect)Deshyokti (habitat)Lanchana (peculiar morphological characters)Virya (potency)Upama (simile)Itarahvaya (names prevalent in other regions or due to other factors).Dhanvantari Nighantu8 too mentions names one or many are assigned to plants according tohabitat, form, colour, potency, taste, and effect etc. important aspect of pharmacognosy isidentification and nomenclature which was sufficed by these synonyms.Synonyms based on morphology7Sr. Name of the SynonymsNo. drug1Agasthya1.Dirgha phala2.RaktapushpaMeaningLatin name1.Long fruits2.Red flowersSesbeniagrandiflora Linn.6

Some synonyms even indicate the use of drugs in othersciences. Eg ‗Goharitaki‘ name for Bilva suggests its use in veterinary science. Few synonymsgive the information about the seasons in which the flowers bloom,eg Varshapushpika(Atibala)blossoms in rainy season, also the time of the life span of the plants eg.Ikshu (mrutyupushpa)means the plant shall perish after it blooms, etc. synonyms were the only means for identificationof plants, so much was the importance ,that Ni
