Abstract– Qualitative phytochemical study serves as the first step in drug discovery. The present study is done on the leaves of 4 weeds Boerhavia erecta L., Cassia tora (L.) Roxb., Euphorbia hirta L. and Leucas aspera (Wild.) Spr. from Palanpur taluka, in this study phytochemical investigation was done in methanol extract and water extract. The weed plants are mostly considered as unwanted plants so this study gives an idea of which secondary metabolites are present in the leaves of Boerhavia erecta L., Cassia tora (L.) Roxb., Euphorbia hirta L. and Leucas aspera (Wild.) Spr.
Key words: Phytochemical screening, Boerhavia erecta L, Cassia tora (L.)Roxb., Euphorbia hirta L., Leucas aspera (Wild.) Spr., Palanpur
