Abstract :
This work is based on the morphology, anatomy, and phytochemical analysis of Euphorbia dracunculoides Lam. plants. The Euphorbia dracunculoides Lam. plant is included in the Euphorbiaceae family. The morphological characteristics are useful as a taxonomic tool. Plants of the genus Euphorbia dracunculoides Lam. are used to treat rheumatism, epilepsy, edema, snake bites, and warts. An anatomical study of different parts taken with hand sectioning and a phytochemical investigation have been carried out for these secondary metabolites like alkaloids, flavonoids, amino acids, phenol, steroids, glycosides, tetraploids, and carbohydrates using three solvents: methanol, water, and acetone. The literature review suggests that no type of morphological or phytochemical study has been done in Gujarat.
