Abstract : Arnebia benthamii a herbaceous perennial herb belonging to the family Boraginaceae is a high-value medicinal plant that occurs in the alpine and subalpine Himalaya.

The phytochemical screening of the` Arnebia benthamii plant extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, phenols, anthraquinones and flavonoids in aerial part and root part extracts of the plant and the root part extract showed the presence of terpenoids. The Chloroform extract of leaves showed maximum antibacterial action against M. luteus , B. licheniformis & antifungal activity against A. flavus and A. niger. The chloroform extract of leaves possess minimum hemolytic activity. Keywords— Arnebia Benthamii, Antibacterial, Antifungal, Hemolytic Activity.
