Abstract: The present study is based on rare and endangered plant species growing in and around region of Junagadh in Gujarat. Due to several biotic, abiotic and enthropogenic activities, the plant taken for the present work has been categorized under the rare and endangered species in many of the literatures. The girnar hill is considered to be highly rich in terms of biodiversity of plants, animals as well as microorganisms. The aim of the current study was to find out the phytochemicals constituents present in the some selected rare and endangered species growing in the region. The study was carried for five endangered and rare plants viz. Adansonia digitata, Adenanthera pavonina, Spondias pinnata, Madhuca indica, and Commiphora wightii growing in and around Girnar hill of Junagadh. The qualitative analysis of phytochemical components parameters were carried out from leaves and stem samples collected during December 2018.Presence and absence of steroids, tannin, alkaloids, protein, flavanoids, carbohydrates in leaves and stem of these five plants were recorded, as these phytochemical components are considered to be natural bioactive compounds found in plants which act as a defense system against diseases. The work gives us the novel idea about the future perspective on research on these endangered species. Furthermore analysis of soil samples collected from rhizosphere of these plants for analyzing the quality of soil as soil is most important factor for plant growth.
