This is perennial herb grow in shady places in the garden and found in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and parts India, which include Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Southern India. The objective of the present study is to evaluate scientific data for presence of various phytochemicals in the leaves extract of methanol, aqueous and petroleum benzene. The three different extracts of leaves were found to contain triterpenoids, flavonoids, phenolic tannins, saponins & carbohydrate. The total flavonoid content was 213.3±0.577 and 177.3±0.577 in methanolic and aqueous extract, The total phenolic content in the methanol and aqueous extract was found to be 358.1.±1.963 and 174.8±0.2, saponin content in the methanolic and aqueous extract was found to be 326.5±0.173 and 134.8±0.230 in mg/g. Presence of such secondary metabolites makes this plant useful for mankind. In future we can prepare herbal drug from the leaves of this plant
