ABSTRACT Glochidion velutinum is a small tree or a large shrub which belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae, which is widely distributed in India, Nepal and Pakistan. Velvety Melon Featherfoil and Downy melon feather foil are the common names of the whereas it is well known with its synonyms such as Gynoon heyneanum and nepalensis etc. The whole plant was reported as medicinally important. The various phytochemicals reported with the plant are tannins, flavonoid, alkaloid and steroidal saponins etc. Various pharmacological activities also were reported with the particular plant species, including cytotoxicity, anti-diabetic activity, antioxidant activity, anti-bacterial activity. This review work mainly emphasizing on the pharmacological effects of the various plant extracts with special attention to its reported phytochemical constituents. Various databases were referred to include a systematic, relevant and up to date review.
