The stem bark of Calotropis procera was studied for macroscopic and microscopic characters. The physicochemical standardization of the powder was carried out for ash value (acid insoluble ash value and water soluble ash value), extractive values with different solvents, loss on drying, crude fiber content, swelling index and volatile oil content. Its reaction after treatment with chemical reagents under visible light and UV light at 254 nm and 366 nm was also observed. The preliminary phytochemical screening was done for chloroform and hydroalcoholic extracts.
