The leaves of Murraya koenigii (L) Spreng (Rutaceae) are reported to have great medicinal value. Pharmacognostic evaluation including examinations of morphological and microscopic characters, determination of leaf content, ash value, powder analysis, and extractive values were carried out. Phytochemical screenings including qualitative chemical examinations were carried out. Phytoconstituent in various extracts gives us clue for further investigation.
