Caesalpinia bonducella is classified under the family of Caesalpiniaceae. It is also known as C. bonducella Flem and C. crista Linn. The plant is found in the tropical and the subtropical parts of Asia. It is also found in Andaman, Nicobar islands and in all over India. The plant is a large prickly shrub. The branches are finely gray downy armed with hooked and hard prickles. Leaves, seeds, roots and bark of this plant are useful parts as a medicine. Caesalpinia bonducella (roxb.) shows antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anthelmintic, antimalarial, antioxidant, antibacterial, antitumor and antidiabetic activities. The Phytochemical screening of C.bonducella shows the existence of different bioactive compounds like sterols,

The presence of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates are essential for the growth of humans. The inorganic micronutrients like Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn etc. are also required for proper metabolic processes. The excess or deficiency of micronutrients may disturb the biochemical func tions of the human body. The aim of the present work is to study the elemental analysis of dried powder of Caesalpinia bonducella leaves. The leaves were collected from the Garbhagiri ranges in Pathardi of Ahmednagar in Maharashtra, India. The leaves were dried in shade and the powder was prepared. The further analysis was carried out by the process of di-acid digestion method (9:4 mixtures of HNO3 and HClO4) with the help of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). In this elemental analysis study, the presence of Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd) and Zinc (Zn) was found. The Iron (Fe) was found at higher concentration 360 mg/kg followed by Manganese (Mn) 108 mg/kg and Zinc (Zn) 69 mg/kg. The concentration of different elements in this plant is the matter of interest from the point of view of their therapeutic value as well as the toxic nature of some elements.

The comparative phytochemical analysis of leaves, stem and fruit powder of Tribulus terrestris was carried out by using preliminary phytochemical screening. To identify the phytochemical constituents, present in water and ethanol extracts of Tribulus terrestris leaves, stem and fruit, a preliminary analysis was done by using different testing methods of Frothing test, Mayer’s test, Hager’s test, Foam formation test, Lead acetate test, Molisch’s test and Ferric Chloride test. The phytochemical analysis study showed the presence of 3.903%, 1.725% and 2.259% terpenoids & phenolic in leaves, stem and fruit parts of Tribulus terrestris respectively. The study showed the presence of 16.574%, 15.943% and 10.168% alkaloids and 0.240%, 0.160% and 0.230% Q. alkaloid & N-oxides in leaves stem and fruit extracts respectively. 2.888%, 0.825% and 2.679% fats and waxes and 76.395%, 81.347% and 84.672% fibers were observed in leaves, stem and fruit extracts of this plant respectively
