The present study review about macroscopical/botanical description of Rosmarinus officinalis L. and its methanolic extraction analysis for preliminary quantification of chemical constituents by visualizing TLC plate under different wavelength of UV light i.e., 255nm, 366nm and 566nm to get chromatograph by HPTLC.
Herbal medicines are in practice since time immortal. India has probably the oldest, richest and most diverse cul- tural traditions within the use of medicinal plants. Indians 3500 BC, Chinese 3000 BC and Egyptians 2500 BC knew the properties of medicinal plants. Medicinal plants' use is still a living tradition. This is supported by the fact that there exists around a million traditional, village-based carriers of herbal medicine traditions in the form of traditional birth attendants, visha voids, bonesetters, herbal healers and wandering monks. Tribal people who live in harmony with nature and the environment share an intimate relationship with the plants. Beneficial medicinal properties of plants have been used in some forms or the other by these tribal people and cures were effective without any harmful side effects.

Six moss taxa, namely Anoectangium clarum, Gymnostomum calcareum, Hyophila involuta, H.spathulata, Hydrogonium arcuatum var. gangeticum and Hydrogonium consanguineum are found in sites polluted by dark effluents discharged from the industries. The pH value of the substrata supporting these taxa is found to be in a very range (6.66- 7.81). The concentration of the micro elements, As+, Pb++, Ni++, Cr+++, Cd+++., Mn++, Cu++, Zn++, Co+++ and Fe++ found in the plant material and substratum has brought out at the extent of toleration capacity of these taxa which enabled these mosses to out compete in such sites.
