A common ingredient in Indian traditional medicine is Barleria prionitis Lin. (Acanthaceae), sometimes referred to as Vajradanti or Porcupine flower. It is extensively dispersed in tropical Asia, Africa, India, and Sri Lanka. Examining the phytochemical and pharmacognocal characteristics of B. prionitis L. (Acantheceae) leaves and roots was the study's main goal. The leaf has antibacterial qualities; its decoction is used to treat feverish catarrh, the paste is put on boils and swollen glands to help them get better, and it is used as a mouthwash to relieve toothaches. Because of its antiseptic qualities, the plant's extract is used in herbal cosmetics and hair products to support the health of the skin and scalp. It has been discovered that the extract of the root has 100% antifertility action. The current investigation employed many techniques for standardization, including fluorescence analysis, physiochemical, phytochemical, macroscopical, microscopical, and HPTLC approaches, as guided by WHO guidelines. We collected roots that had been shade-dried and fresh leaves for morphological analysis. For microscopic research, free-hand slices were made from recently picked leaves and preserved root components. The extractive values for total ash, acid insoluble ash, water-soluble ash, water soluble, ethanol soluble, and ether soluble were calculated along with the loss and drying process. This review also includes research on various pharmacological actions and traditional uses.
