Abstract

A large variety of unknown plants has tremendous usefulness in improving human beings from a medicinal, nutritional, and dietary perspective. species are threatened plant species by (the International Union for Conservation of Nature) IUCN which have significant medicinal value. species are generally found in various regions of India. GC-MS data of different extracts such as Ethanol, Methanol, Acetone, Ethyl acetate, and chloroform show the biologically active compounds that exhibit various biological actions. Bioactive compounds reported in are Tetradecanoic acid, Pentadecanoic acid, Heptadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid, Ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3 beta, 24R)-Stigmast-5-en-3-ol, Tetracontane, Squalene, Beta-stigmasterol.

Traditionally, leaves, tubers, stems, and flowers are used in the treatment of several diseases. Also, various tribal and rural regions have a different identity of . Hence, it has the same ethnopharmacological remedies like the decoction of tubers used to treat dysentery and diarrhea and remove kidney stones. Pulp of leaves used for deafness.

Traditionally, it is used as an anti-urolithic, dysentery and diarrhea, deafness, and fertility enhancer. The plant is reported as anti-urolithic, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, malnutrition, and Balya karma. is reported to contain Tetradecanoic acid, Pentadecanoic acid, Heptadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid, Ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3 beta, 24R)-Stigmast-5-en-3-ol, Tetracontane, Squalene, Beta-stigmasterol.
