Kigelia pinnata Linn. belongs to the family of Bignoniaceae and commonly called the "Sausage" tree because of its hugs fruits. This species of tree can reach 20 meters in height. Sausage like appearance with long cord like stalks. It also known as Balam Kheera in Hindi. This plant is commonly found throughout in western and southern India and a few species in the Himalayas. It is a large evergreen glabrous tree measuring 8-10 m in height, stem, and trunk straight with branches in all direction. Bark is thick black. The leaves are opposite, compound, with 3-5 pairs of leaflets plus a terminal leaflets oblong up to 6-10 cm, roughly hairy on both surfaces.
In experimental work pharmacognostic and phytochemical parameters was find out such as physicochemical, preliminary-phytochemical and quantitative estimation of primary metabolites. The results of this experimental work shows that taxonomic characters, identification and to differentiate closely related species. And also, to find out active phytochemicals for further use.
