In the present study, physicochemical evaluation and thin layer chromatography of leaf extract of C. arborea (Lecythidaceae) were performed. Water extract, methanolic extract and ethyl acetate extracts of C. arborea leaves were used for quantification of phytoconstituents. Careya arborea leaves were tested for total phenolic, flavonoid, total alkaloid, and total saponin content. The Folin-Ciocalteau reagent and the colorimetric method were used to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid content, respectively. Using diosgenin as a reference, the total saponin content was calculated. It has been found that powdered C. arborea leaves contain anisocytic stomata and crystals of calcium oxalate. The ethyl acetate extract of C. arborea leaf showed highest concentration of phenolic, flavonoid content than the methanolic and water extract. Methanolic extract contain more amount of saponin than methanolic extract of leaves of C. arborea. Leaves were reported to contains 0.2 % total alkaloid. This experimental finding can be useful for quality control of C. arborea leaf.
