Pharmacognostical studies are undertaken in this division with the objectives to evolve standards for single drugs and compound formulations in order to authenticate genuineness of the crude drugs of plants, mineral and animal origin. The study includes highlighting macroscopical and microscopical characters as distinguishing characters for authentication and identification purposes. This division also undertakes medico-botanical survey tours in different agro-climatic zones of the country to collect medicinal plants for standardisation and reference standards samples for museum and herbarium.
