The Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) plant is commonly known as palmarosa or rosa grass belonging to
Poaceae. It is a perennial aromatic grass known for its rose-like aroma and rich in essential oil
composition. The present investigation is made to study the ecological, morphological and anatomical
studies in wild genotype of Cymbopogon collected from Devarayana Durga hill, Karnataka, India. The
studies were made by screening the phytochemicals using methanol extract from the leaf by adopting
standard qualitative tests. The screening of phytochemicals from the plant investigated serves as
important steps to determine the biologically active chemical constituents present in the plant. The study
showed that the methanol extract contains alkaloids, steroids, tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids, cardiac
glycosides and phenols with the absence of saponins w.. View More»
