ABSTRACT Plant Euphorbia hirta belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae is well known for its medicinal properties and widely used worldwide. Leaves of Euphorbia hirta investigated for its Ash value, extractive value and fluorescence analysis. Further, the present study aimed to identify the various phytochemical constituents present in the two different extracts by using standard methods of phytochemical screening. Powdered plant material contained 10.29% Ash value, 9.89 % w/w water soluble extract, 13.25% w/w methanol soluble extract, and fluorescence to some treatments. The chemical constituents of the methanolic leaf extracts of the plant were relatively similar in the presence of proteins as primary metabolites and alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannin, steroid, saponin, carbohydrate as secondary plant metabolites. In contrast, aqueous extract appeared to possess the constituents such as carbohydrates, proteins, tannin, steroid, saponin and flavonoids with a negative result to alkaloids. In conclusion, the reported results support the leaf extracts of Euphorbia contain several phytochemicals which have therapeutic medicinal uses.
