Abstract Justicia gendarussa Burm. f., an important medicinal shrub of the Acanthaceae family, shows notable variation among its violet-stemmed, green-stemmed and variegated-leaf forms, creating challenges for standardization in herbal formulations. This study compares the morphology, anatomy and phytochemical profiles of the three variants to determine the most suitable type for pharmacological use. Clear morphological differences were observed: the violet-stemmed variant showed purplish pigmentation and elliptic leaves; the green-stemmed type had uniformly green stems and lanceolate leaves; and the variegated form exhibited violet stems with white-striped leaves. Anatomically, the violet variant possessed a thicker cortex, compact collenchyma and more lignified xylem. Phytochemical tests revealed flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, glycosides and phenolics in all variants, with the violet-stemmed type showing higher intensity of metabolites. FTIR analysis further indicated stronger functional group peaks, confirming richer phytochemical diversity. Overall, the violet-stemmed variant demonstrates superior phytochemical richness and is the most promising for therapeutic applications. The study highlights the need for variant-specific standardization and recommends molecular and in vivo studies to support future pharmacological development.
Keywords Justicia gendarussa, variants, phytochemical screening, FTIR, traditional medicine.
