Morphological, Anatomical and Preliminary Phytochemical Study of Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir. in Sagaing University Campus Khin Moe Hlaing Mi Mi Khaing Khin Mar Htwe Shwe Ye Tun Yu Mon Oo Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir belonging to family Fabaceae, is an important medicinal plant in the tropical regions. In the present study the morphological, anatomical and preliminary phytochemical screening of Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir leaves and flowers were investigated through phytochemical tests. The specimens were collected from Sagaing University Campus from June to July 2023. The collected plant was identified by Backer (1946) and fully described with color photographs. Morphology of both vegetative and reproductive parts of the plant and anatomy of the leaves (lamina, midrib and petiole), stems and roots were studied and described by the methods of Metcalfe & Chalk (1950). The dried powder of leaves and flowers was examined. Various methods of preliminary phytochemical analysis showed that proteins, glycosides, phenols, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, starchs, carbohydrates, saponins were present and reducing sugars were absent in leaves and flowers. Phytochemical characters were studied by the method of Harbone (1991). 2025-03-03 https://meral.edu.mm/records/12737
