The Pharmacognostic study of plant material is an important tool for detecting any adulterations present in it. In the present study, physicochemical parameters such as ash values, foreign matter, loss on drying, moisture content, fluorescence analysis and extractive values in four different solvents (methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether) were analysed. Fluorescence analysis of leaf powder showed the presence of different fluorescence with different reagent treatments. The qualitative phytochemical screening was carried out in four different extracts. The results revealed the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, carbohydrates, tannins and proteins.

It is distributed in tropical region. The plant is traditionally used in the treatment of kidney stone, headache, intestinal worm, diabetes, cancer, indigestion, liver disorder, jaundice, dyspepsia, dysentery, painful urination. Fruits are edible and has antibacterial activity. Fruit seeds oil are used in the production of biodiesel. Apart from ethnomedicinal uses, it has phytoconstituents and pharmacological properties. Phytochemicals like terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phytosterols, saponins, glycosides are isolated from this medicinal plant. Total Flavonoid content (TFC) and Total Phenolic Content (TPC) have been estimated. It has pharmacological properties such as anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial, cytotoxic activity, antihyperglycaemic and hypolipidemic. The plant is also important for the fungal diversity which is associated with it. The aim of the present study is to document the updated data about its traditional uses, isolated phytoconstituents, pharmacological activities reported which may be the tool for further therapeutical research studies.
