Abstract

In recent times, focus on plant research has increased all over the world and a large number of evidence has collected to show immense potential of medicinal plants used in various traditional systems. Over the last few years, researchers have aimed at identifying and validating plant derived substances for the treatment of various diseases. Similarly it has been already proved that the correct identification and authentication of taxa is most important in plants science. The Celosia argentia L. has enormous traditional uses against various diseases. The present review aims to Phytochemical, Morphological and anatomical review of Celosia argentia L.
