摘要： Canavalia virosa (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. syn. C. ensiformis (Linn.) DC. var. virosa (Roxb.) Baker. belongs to the family
Papilionaceae. It is known as Kozhi Avarai in Tamil and used in the Siddha System of Medicine. In the present study, the
morphology of the plant, exo and endomorphic characteristics, powder analysis, preliminary phytochemical analysis, physicochemical
analysis, TLC photo documentation and HPTLC finger print of leaf are investigated. The findings revealed that
the occurrence of prism of calcium oxalate crystals, paired foliar epidermal cells with solitary styloid crystals, non-glandular
uniseriate and glandular club shaped trichomes and paracytic stomata are diagnostic characters which would help in the
identification of the drug. TLC photo documentation showed ten spots in UV 254 and 366 nm, HPTLC finger print profiles of the
chloroform extract showed thirteen peaks out of which 4 are major peaks.
