Abstract

Ageratum houstonianum is an annual herbaceous weed which is widely used as an ornamental plant for summer borders and balcony boxes. It is considered a safe weed with several medicinal properties. This Study was carried out to know the Phytochemicals constituent of Ageratum houstonianum leaves and stem. Ageratum houstonianum was evaluated for total Saponins, total Phenol and other Secondary metabolites contents using standard procedures. The study of the leaves and stem revealed the presence of Saponins, Flavonoids, Alkaloids, tannins, Phenol and Steroids. The Leaves of Ageratum houstonianum gave higher composition of tannins, alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid and phenols at (3.41±0.015 mg/100g), (2.40±0.015 mg/100g), (1.16±0.021 mg/100g), (1.55±0.031 mg/100g) and (1.22±0.015 mg/100g) respectively than the stem. And there is significant relationship between the phytochemicals present in the two plant parts.
