Abstract

Cassia auriculata Linn. is a member of genus Cassia belonging and locally named as Aawali. Various parts like flowers, leaves, root, bark, and seeds are used as medicine to cure various diseases. In the present study we have used floweres and roots for phytochemical and pharmacognostic investigation. The Total ash, acid insoluble ash and watersoluble was qualitatively investigated. Soluble extractive values of water ethanol ether chloroform and ethyl acetate were determined the quantitative determination of proteins and total carbohydrates was also determined. The extraction was done by cold maceration method.
