Pharmacognosy” is a Greek word, derived from pharmakon means drug, and
\ngnosis means knowledge. It is the study of the crude drugs produced from
\nnatural sources such as plants, animals and minerals including their
\nmorphological, chemical, and biological properties as well as history,
\ncultivation, collection, extraction, isolation, bioassay, and their standardization
\nfor biological, chemical, biochemical, and physical properties. The objective of
\nthe study of \u201cpharmacognosy\u201d is for safe use of herbal drugs including their
\nside effects, toxicity, drug interaction, etc thereby increasing effectiveness in
\nmodern medicine. Like any other scientific area, since the introduction
\nof Pharmacognosy some 200 years ago, it has evolved over the years, and
\nnow Pharmacognosy can be defined as the science of biogenic or naturally
\nderived drugs, pharmaceuticals and poisons. Various modern analytical
\ntechniques are used to authenticate and standardization of the crude drugs. De
\nmateria medica is a pharmacopoeia of medicinal plants written by Dioscorides
\nbetween 50 and 70 CE in which about 600 plants are placed. Keeping the
\nrequirements of the curriculum for the students of Bachelor of Pharmacy and
\nDiploma in Pharmacy under Pharmacy Council of India in view, the authors of
\nConcise Encyclopedia of Herbal Drugs have put a small effort to bring 134
\nherbal drugs with their synonym, biological name, family, source, uses,
\nchemical constituents, chemical identification tests, adulterant, picture of the
\ndrug and the chemical structure of one of the major constituents with this book.
\nPictures are collected from search engine google. The chemical structures of the
\nphyto constituents are drawn using software Chemdraw version 12.0. As the
\nmonograph of the herbal drugs too difficult to memorize so the authors concise
\nthe monograph and along with provided a large coloured picture of the drug to
\nmake it attractive for the students to read and memorize.
\nIt would be grateful to the readers if they draw the attention to the deficiencies
\nand errors that might have remained.

\nhelp in completion of this book. Hope, this book would be well accepted by the
