Its large pinkish-white, pompon flowers give off a sickly-sweet smell to attract bats and moths which pollinate the flowers at night. It is grown along streets for decorative and shade purposes among Sarawakian houses in Malaysia and it's also known as Box Fruit due to the distinct box-shaped of the fruit, it is a medium-sized tree growing to 7-25m tall [1]. The leaves are narrow obovate, 20-40cm in length and 10-20cm in width matured foliage colour is green, smooth glossy shiny leathery thick simple and evergreen. It is used as sausage food among the native of sarawakian in the kampong as well as a medicinal plant, inhabitants of several West African countries, Nigeria and the Polynesian Islands use liquid from the crushed bark of Barringtonia asiatica to treat stomach-aches, the top leaves from this tree are squeezed into water and the liquid taken orally. The stem bark of the plant is pinkish grey [2]. The plant when mature the bark texture is smooth and woody. The root type is fibrous and has pronounced tap root. The Fruit, due to its distinct square like diagonals jutting out from the cross section, it gives a semi spherical shape form from stem altering to a sub pyramidal shape at its base. The fruit measures 9-11cm in diameter, where a thick spongy fibrous layer covers up to 4-5cm diameter. The fruit is dispersed in the same way as a coconut by ocean current and is extremely water-resistant and buoyant [3]. It can survive afloat for up to fifteen years [1]. When washed ashore and soaked by rainwater then the seeds germinate. All parts of the tree are Poisonous, and the active poisons include saponins. The box fruits are potent enough to be used as a fish poison. This Angiosperm of a flowering seed plant has a perennial life span with an autotrophic mode of nutrition, the seeds have been used when ground to a powder form to stun or kill fish for easy capture, it suffocates the fish living no effect on the flesh [4]. The active components may be found in the root, bark, stem, and leaves of the identified plant [2]. The seeds of Barringtonia asiatica are used in the Pacific Islands by scraping the seeds on lava rocks by shallow tidal pools and washing the scrapings into the water. This method and the methods described above result in dead or stunned fish rising to the surface in a short time where they are

The study was conducted to evaluate Physicochemical, phytochemical analysis and HPTLC analysis using specific solvent system for Pippalimula. Material and Methods: Fine powder of Grade I Pippalimula (root of Piper longum Linn.) and alchoholic extract were obtained and subjected to phytochemical analysis and chromatographic study.Discussion: Physicochemical analysis of the root was carried out. HPTLC analysis of the methanolic extract of the root powder was performed with Toluene: Ethyl acitate 9:1.(v/v) Conclusion: HPTLC analysis of root of Piper longum Linn.can provide standard analysis with selected solvent system and can be used as a reference for the authentication and quality control of the drug. The study will provide referential information for the correct identification of the crude drugs.

It is one of the highly traded species of pharmaceutical industries. To meet the increasing demand has resulted in a decline in their quality. There is now a need to develop a systematic approach for the authentication of herbal plants and to develop well-designed methodologies for their standardization. The present paper deals with the macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of the root of Piper longum Linn. along with its micrometric and isolation techniques.

Paranchymatous cells heavily loaded with starch grains, oil globules and fan shaped arrangements of vascular bundle upto centre distinctive the drug from other root morphology. Powder microscopy along with micrometric and isolation techniques would be of immense value in botanical identification and authentication of plant drug and may help us in preventing its adulteration.

Current estimates suggest that, in many developing countries, a large proportion of the population relies heavily on traditional practitioners and medicinal plants to meet primary health care needs. Concurrently, many people in developed countries have begun to turn to alternative or complementary therapies, including medicinal herbs 1 .

Bhunimba is indicated in Kushta (skin diseases), Kandu (itching), Shopha (swelling), Yakratroga (liver diseases), Krimi (worm's infestation), Kushta (skin diseases), Jwara (fever). This drug having chemical constituents like Andrographolide, 14 – deoxy – 11, 12 – didehydroandrographolide etc., in it. A. paniculata is reported to have hepatoprotective, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, anti-filarial activities etc. Clinically also it has shown significant result in viral hepatitis, elephantiasis, common cold, vitiligo and upper respiratory tract infection.

The root (Pippalimula) and fruit(Pippali) of Piper longum Linn. is possessing high therapeutic virtues. According to Ayurved system of medicine, the Piper longum Linn. roots are pungent and having heating, stomachic, laxative, anthelmintic and carminative properties. It improves the appetite and useful in bronchitis, abdominal pain, disease of the spleen and tumors. According to Unani system, root has a bitter, hot and sharp taste and used as carminative, hepato-protactive, stomachic, abortificient, haematinic, diuretic, digestive and as a general tonic. It also cures inflammation of the liver, pains in the joint, lumbago, snakebite, scorpion-sting and night-blindness. Plant Pippali is cultivated and also imported from other countries as it is highly demanded in pharmaceutical industries. It is reported as endangered species in some states. The cultivation practice of Piper longum Linn. is necessary to overcome its requirement in Pharmaceutics as its highly used plant for classical formulations. On experimental level, Pippalimula is reported having analgesic, antifungal, antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activities. Also, the fruit and root extract of Piper longum along with ciprofloxacin showed good synergistic activity against MRSA. P.longum roots along with E. ribes seeds pregnancy showed antifertility activity in female albino rats. Further scientific validations and clinical trials may sustain the classical claims regarding the root of Piper longum Linn. India has got variety of climatic conditions and seasons favorable for growth of many
