Summary, etc. <p><em>Kakoli</em> is an Ayurvedic drug, used for its effect on the reproductive system, especially for promoting spermatogenesis. According to Ayurvedic and other Sanskrit literature, three different plant species exist under the name of <em>Kakoli</em>, namely, <em>Roscoea purpurea</em> Sm., <em>Roscoea capitata</em> Sm., and <em>Roscoea alpina</em> Royle. Grouping multiple plant species under one name, often leads to the selection and inconsistent usage of non-authentic species as therapeutic drugs. In the present study, we compared the three <em>Roscoea</em> species, used as <em>Kakoli</em>, using pharmacognostical and phytochemical, as well as other analytical studies. We found that<em> R. purpurea </em>Sm. might be the most probable source of <em>Kakoli</em> as evidenced by the correlation obtained between literary resource-based parameters (ancient scriptures) and the experimental analysis (pharmacognostical and phytochemical findings) thereby establishing the authentic taxonomic identity of the valuable ancient medicine <em>Kakoli</em>.</p>
