| Abstract | ||
| Moluccella laevis L. belongs to family Lamiaceae (Labiatae or Mint family). It is an annual herb. It flowers from March to April. It bears dense spikes of small 2-lipped white fragrant florets with large, bell-shaped calyxes, known as ''Shell flower'' or ''Bells of Ireland''. It is cultivated as a decorative plant. By reviewing the literature, few botanical investigations were reported on this plant, which inspires us to explore both macro- and micro-morphological investigations of M. laevis L. stem, root and inflorescence, to aid the researchers in the authentication and identification of M. laevis different parts in both entire and powdered forms. | ||
