Proximate analysis of leaves yielded a high ash content‚ a higher crude fiber content‚ and a still higher carbohydrate content. Mineral analysis showed low manganese‚ iron‚ zinc and copper‚ with high sodium content. Phytochemical screening yielded alkaloids‚ cardenolides‚ saponins and tannins. • An ether soluble fraction of the whole plant yielded 4‚7-dimethoxy-5-(2-propenyl)-1‚ 3-benzodioxole or apiol‚ in a liquid state‚ 2‚4‚5‚-trimethoxy styrene‚ mp 138°‚ and three phytosterols‚ campesterol‚ stigmasterol
