Abstract Throughout human history, plants have been employed as medicine in traditional health care systems and are seen as a source of long, healthy human life. Various plant components, including the roots, leaves, stem, bark, flowers, and seeds, have been utilised to treat a variety of diseases. India has a wide variety of medicinal plants. Out of the many commonly used medical plants, Butea monosperma is a possible medicinal plant widely appreciated for its ability to treat elephantiasis and treat night blindness and other vision problems. Bark is a spicy, acrid, and bitter food and laxative. Its leaves are beneficial for eye conditions and have anti-inflammatory properties. Flowers are helpful for gonorrhoea, scorching urine, and irritation. It is a member of the Fabaceae family, which includes more than 150 genera and 1600 species.The current study was designed to go into greater detail on how macroscopical and microscopical characteristics of leaves and stems were viewed. In the current situation, when there are no regulatory regulations to control the quality of herbal pharmaceuticals, the physicochemical characteristics investigations offered reference information in regard to its identification parameters considered substantially in the path of acceptability of herbal drugs.
