Elsholtzia griffithii, a member of the Lamiaceae family, is an important and widely used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, no scientific studies have been conducted on its anatomy because it is a rare species in Chinese forests. It is also found in the state of Manipur, Eastern India. This study aimed to examine the morphological and microscopical features of Elsholtzia griffithii to support quality control of this herbal medicine. The methodology involved preparing anatomical sections and describing them in detail. The physiological study results are consistent with the typical patterns of plants in the Lamiaceae family. The findings suggest that its physiological structure can serve as a foundation for further quality control of this plant.
