Abstract: - HPTLC is an analytical technique used It is an evergreen glabrous and dichotomously for the qualitative and quantitative evalution of branched about 2-3 m high shrub and commonly polyherbal formulations. Tabernaemotana called Pinwheel flower, Crape jasmine , East India divaricata an important medicinal plant wide rose bay and Nero’s crown (Dasturet.al 1962). medicinal value is frequently used in a large no of Ethnobotanically have been known to possess traditional herbal preparations. For HPTLC antimicrobial , anthelmintic, antioxidant , curative statinory phase was silica gel 60 F254 plate. The properties against nervous disorders, skin mobile phase consisted of Toluene: Ethylacetate: problems, respiratory and eyeailments,veneral Formic acd (7:2:0.5). In the present study the diseases, diabetes , chronic bronchitis , snake bite Preliminary Phytochemical screening of and cardiotonic ailments.(Ignacimutu et.al 2006 Tabernaemotana divaricata stem and leaf and Sathishkumar et.al 2012).

Besides, the latex also contains acid, campesterol and cycloartenol. Besides, proteins, amino acids and galactose. The seeds olivacine, heyneamine, 19 S – heyneaine- contain citric, oleic and palmitic acids.

The leaves contain α- amyrin, lupeol glycoflavone,leucoanthocyanins, resin and sugars and their acetate, β-sitosterol, have also been reported from the plant (Chatterjee coronaridineapparicine, ervaticine (2-acyl and Pakrashi, 1955). indolederivatinve), ervatinine, hyderabadine, lahoricine, mehranine, stapfinine, flavonol Presence of phenolics like coniferyl and sinaphyl glycosides, isovoacristine, voacristine, voharine alcohols and sterols like campesterol and and a dimeric alkaloid, conophylline.

Folkloric use Method and materials: - The plant material was collected from Roorkee district of Haridwar, Chopra et al. (1958) considered the root as acrid, Uttarkahand The samples were washed thoroughly bitter and anodyne. The root bark is used as to remove dirt particles present on the surface. The anthelmintic and wood is as a refrigerant. The samples were then sun dried and cut into small milky juice of the leaves is applied to wounds to pieces and plant identified with the help of Duthie prevent inflammation and in the disease of eyes flora (1903-1929) and Maheshwari (1962). (Chatterjee and Pakrashi, 1995). Besides, the juice of the flowers mixed with oil is used to alleviate Qualitative phytochemical analysis burning sensation and is also to cure eye sores and skin diseases. The crude powder of different flowers was subjected to qualitative phytochemical analysis In Thailand, the plant is used as an emetic. describe by Gibbs, 1974; Johansen, 1940; Theroots, leaves and flowers are all used in the Harborne, 1973; Paris, 1963; and Peach and Tracey treatment of snake and scorpion poisoning.
