ABSTRACT
Ayurveda a deep ocean with lots of medicinal gems, whether these are known or unknown. Some of its gems are controversial due to their morphological structure and lack of knowledge.

Haridru is a plant having medicinal importance in Ayurveda but generally explains as a variety of Kadamba or Kadamba itself in many classical texts.

This study may be helpful for further researchers for conducting their studies because it?s controversial kind of drug having not much research on this.
