Methanolic extracts of the leaf of five above mentioned plants have shown positive results for starch, alkaloids, amino acids and lignins. But flavonoids are absent in Andrographis paniculata and Sida humilis. Tannins are absent in Andrographis paniculata, Bauhinia acuminata and Sida humilis. Reducing sugars are absent in Sida humilis only. Leaf extracts of Nerium odorum gives faint coloration for starch, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and reducing sugars which indicates presence of these in very low quantity (Table-1, Figure-2). On the other hand Sida humilis gives light coloration for alkaloids, amino acids and lignins. From Table-1 it is observed that tannins are present in low quantity in the plant Clerodendrum indicum
