Abstract

India has rich biodiversity and plants have been a source to cure diverse health problems since ancient times. Foeniculum vulgare is one of the medicinal plants having therapeutic importance on various ailments. F. vulgare, known as Saunfin Hindi, is one of the oldest herbs and possesses beneficial medicinal effects. In this present study, 14 morphotypes have been identified on the basis of genetic diversity. Their physicochemical characterisation and comparison of biochemical constituents have been identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and reported further.
