<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Background:</strong> <em>Nepeta menthoides</em> Boiss & Buhse is a species from Lamiaceae family. It is used as a herbal medicine with common name “Ostokhodus” in Iranian traditional and folk medicine but there is not enough information about its quality and quantity control methods. <strong>Objective: </strong>In this study we use micromorphological and phytochemical evaluations for qualitative and quantitative control of <em>N. menthoides</em> powder. <strong>Methods:</strong> Macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, phytochemical screening and flavonol quantification were done on N. menthoides powder. <strong>Results:</strong> Results showed that all of these assessments can use as quality control parameters for authentication of <em>N. menthoides</em>, particularly micromorphological specifications. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Our study shows the importance of micromorphological evaluation in authentication of this herbal medicine but further investigations are needed to complete these data.</div>
