Abstract
The present study deals with the pharmaco-chemical characterisation of Polygala javana DC., P. chinensis L. and P. rosmarinifolia Wight & Arn. Since, these plant species are used as medicine for treating various ailments. Physicochemical constants (ash and extractive values) fluorescence analysis and preliminary phytochemical screening were carried out. The preliminary study will be helpful to study the active principles using modern techniques in the later part of this work.
