Abstract:
Hibiscus Sabdarifa Linn belong to the family malvaceae. It is an annual herbaceous sub- shrub with more than 300 species which are distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. Most hibiscus species are used as ornamental plants, medicinal values; among them is Hibiscus sabdariffa commonly named as ‘Red sorrel’ and ‘Roselle’. Hibiscus sabdarifa (calyces) have been found to be rich in vitamin, antioxidant and minerals. Therefore, the aim of this work is to Compared the aqueous extract and methanolic extract of Phytochemical Constituents of three Species in Calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. The Phytochemical Constituents of aqueous extract and methanolic extract of calyces (Hibiscus Sabdariffa L) include Alkaloids, Tannin, Glycoside, Flavonoids, Saponins and Hydroxyl anthraquines. the present of saponine and flavonoids in this plant may give support to their therapeutic effects especially in the treatment of hypertension and diseases.
