Abstract

Abutilon indicum (Bengali name: Jhampi, Petari, Indian name: Atibala, family: Malvaceae) is extensively grown in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan.

The plant is very much used in Siddha medicines. In fact, the bark, root, leaves, flowers and seeds are all used for medicinal purposes by Tamils. The leaves are also used to treat for pile complaints. The flowers are traditionally used to increase semen in men. The phytochemical analysis showed the Presence of Alkaloid, Saponins, Amino acid, Flavonoids, Glycosides and steroids. This plant exhibits several potential pharmacological activities.
