Also cold maceration was done using water & Ethanol (70%). The extracts were screened for its physicochemical characteristics, preliminary phytochemical study of extracts and quantitative estimation of total phenolic and flavonoid content. The pharmacognostic study reveals that the plant Euphorbia hirta L contain phenolic and flavonoid constituents.
