Abstract:

Due to ambiguity in the names of Unani Medicinal Plants, overlapping of data may occur in chemical or pharmacological informations where the botanical identity of market sample of crude drug taken up for research is not ascertained. The authentication of botanical source of plant material taken up for medicinal use is also necessary to maintain efficacy of the unani drugs. The botanical identity of many such controversial plants is yet to be resolved. In the present communication, an attempt has been made to compile a list of such plants which are known in the literature or sold in Indian markets by different names and Vis-a-vis.
