Abstract : The study is aimed to investigate the phytochemical constituents present in the three medicinal tree species of Myrtaceae family such as Syzygium densiflorum, Syzygium tamilnadensis and Euginea candolleana, in which Syzygium densiflorum is categorized as a vulnerable species in the IUCN red list of threatened species. Preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presences of tannins, alkaloids, and phenols, whereas saponins, terpenoids, steroids, phytosteroids, phlobatannins and anthraquinones are absent for tested extracts. The amount of total phenol, total flavonoids and Tannin content in n-hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Syzygium densiflorum, Syzygium tamilnadensis and Euginea candolleana are determined spectrometrically. The methanolic extract shows high phenolic, flavonoid and tannins content for Euginea candolleana. The Syzygium densiflorum shows the presence of tannin content in methanolic extract. The presence of alkaloids is found to be high in Syzygium tamilnadensis of n- hexane and ethyl acetate extract. This report shows the complete study on qualitative and quantitative analysis of the tree leaves extracts. Keywords— Syzygium Tamilnadensis, Syzygium Densiflorum, Euginea Candolleana.
