Cydonia oblonga Mill. (Quince) is a well-known plant of Kashmir with immense medical importance. However, meagre information is available on the standardization parameters of the plant (seed in particular) due to existing variability in quince germplasm, yield and fruit quality. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the pharmacognostical properties of Cydonia oblonga Mill. seeds (Bihidāna) obtained from Kashmir to utilize the same for precisely predictable therapeutic benefits. Methods: Macroscopical and microscopical characters, physicochemical and phytochemical properties were studied to establish the quality standards. Results: The macroscopic, microscopic, physicochemical and phytochemical parameters of Bihidāna and extracts revealed various diagnostic characteristics of the species, some of which did not correspond with the previous studies. Conclusion: This study provided complete pharmacognostic profile of Bihidāna and hence will be useful for correct identification and authentication of the species for future studies.
