Abstract:
Eucalyptus globulus Labill synonym blue gum tree (Family: Myrtaceae) is an evergreen tree, one of
the most widely cultivated trees native to Australia, South Africa, India and Southern Europe. The bark was used
against toothaches and gum aches.The leaves were used against headaches which occured on one side of the head.
Eucalyptus globulus Labill synonym blue gum tree (Family: Myrtaceae) possess antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory,
antibacterial, antimalarial and Antioxidant properties. Methods: The present study will assist in standardization
parameters like morphological characters, microscopic evaluation, physicochemical evaluations (loss on drying, ash
values, extractive values), preliminary phytochemical screening and TLC chromatographic profile of the extract were
carried out and the quantitative parameters were reported. Results: Chief macroscopic and microscopic characters
include lamina with secretory cavity. Lower palisade cells, Lateral vein, secretory cavity, Spongy mesophyll, Upper
palisade, stomata and with terminal clusters of sclereids. Conclusion: These studies provide referential information
for correct identification and standardization of this plant material.
