Summary, etc. <p>The roots of <em>Clerodendrum phlomidis</em> L.f. is known to be used as <em>Agnimantha</em> in Ayurvedic system of medicine. Whereas literature emerged from various texts reports other species of <em>Premna</em> as <em>Agnimantha</em> that leads to controversies in usage of authentic drug source. Hence the study aims to develop pharmacognosy characteristics to identify the authentic and substitute sources of <em>Agnimantha</em>. The Ayurvedic verses prescribed for <em>Agnimantha</em> compliance with <em>Clerodendrum phlomidis</em>, <em>Premna serratifolia</em> and <em>Premna mollissima</em>. Whereas the vertically fissured stem found prominent in <em>Clerodendrum phlomidis</em>. Likewise cork region is composed of homogenous cells with grouped and scattered calcium oxalate crystals, without oils. Whereas heterogeneous cells with oils and scattered calcium oxalate crystals are found in <em>Premna serratifolia</em> and <em>Premna mollissima</em>. Similarly phytosterols found unique in <em>Clerodendrum</em> <em>phlomidis</em> roots. The developed HPTLC method serves as tool to identify and distinguish the authentic from substitute and adulterants. Enthrallingly quantitative HPLC analysis revealed the presence of verbascoside in all sources of <em>Agnimantha</em> and comparatively more in substitutes. Hence the study concludes that roots of <em>Clerodendrum phlomidis</em> is authentic source of <em>Agnimantha</em>, where <em>Premna serratifolia</em> and <em>Premna mollissima</em> forms the equivalent substitutes.</p>
