The present study was aimed at pharmacognostic and preliminary phytochemical evaluations of Bauhinia variegata Linn. stem bark belonging to family Caesalpiniaceae. It is a medium-sized, deciduous tree, found throughout India. The bark is astringent, tonic and anthelmintic. It is used for ulcers, leprosy, diabetes, tumor and dysentery. The pharmacognostic investigations were carried out in terms of organoleptic, microscopic and physical parameters. The extracts obtained after successive Soxhlet extraction of stem bark powder using petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone-water and water were subjected to a preliminary phytochemical screening which revealed the presence of carbohydrates, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids.
