In current research, Malvastrum Coromandelianum plants have been subjected to
macroscopic and microscopic studies. Microscopic features revealed that the
dorsiventral leaf was dorsiventral. Two types of trichomes were observed: sessile,
unicellular, uniserated, and bi-cellular glandular head covering. The vascular
bundle was coated with spongy parenchyma. Alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids,
carbohydrates, and saponins were detected by phytochemical screening.
