The plant extract serves as a rich source of calcium ions, which when reacted with CO2, leads to the formation of calcite crystals of highly irregular morphology indicating that bioorganic molecules present in the extract modulate the crystal morphology.</p>10abone fracture10acalcite crystals10aCissus quadrangularis10atraditional healing1 aSanyal, A.1 aAhmad, Absar1 aSastry, M.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/calcite-growth-cissus-quadrangularis-plant-extract-traditional-indian-bone-healing-aid-0
