**3.1 Total phenolics and total flavonoids**

The results of the colorimetric analysis of total phenolics expressed as Gallic Acid Equivalents (GAE) and those of total flavonoids expressed as Catechine Equivalents (CE) are given in the table 2.


L= leaves; TB= trunk barks; RB= root bark.Total phenolics expressed as gallic acid equivalent (GAE), total flavonoids expressed as catechin equivalent (CE).

Values are means of triplicate determination ± standard deviation.

The total phenolic compounds which are present in plant materials were ranged from 19.3 ± 0.6 to 223.1 ± 0.2 mg GAE /g dry weight and the total amount of flavonoids varied from 9 ± 1.6 to 38.9 ± 1.7 mg CE / g dry weight.
