Background/Objectives:The collection of raw phytodrugs by untrained personnel may lead to unintentional adulteration of drugs. Intentional adulteration or substitution is also a menace in the crude drug markets.

Methods/Statistical Analysis: To detect the adulterants from the original ones, the crude drugs are subjected for microscopic analysis including anatomical parameters. The microscopic observations on the gross anatomical features coupled with tissue disposition and cell inclusions are more reliable techniques in the crude samples of ischolar_main drugs.

Findings: The present paper deals with two ischolar_main drugs, popularly used in Indian System of Medicine, highlights the anatomical differences namely Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. ex Schultes and Aerva persica (Burm. f.) Merr.

Application/Improvements: The possible reasons for ischolar_main drug similarities and differences are discussed. Such inquire may find use further in the pharmaceutical applications of these two species.
