B.Pharm Semester 1: Introduction to Pharmacognosy notes. Pharmacognosy studies medicines and materials of natural origin. Begin with identification and handling; a plant's common name alone is not enough to describe a crude drug.

What to revise

  • Drug identity: record biological source, useful part and classification.
  • Handling: relate cultivation, collection and storage to material quality.
  • Constituents: separate primary and secondary metabolites with checked examples.

A quick self-check

Choose one crude drug from your notes and create an identity card. Include its source, part used, identification features and one quality concern.
