Review on Evaluation of Butea Monosperma (Lam.) Taub. Flowers

Review of literature was carried out on ‘Google Scholar’ and in the library of Maharashtra Institute of Pharmacy, Betala, Tal. Bramhapuri, Dist. Chandrapur, Maharashtra (India). The review was carried out with objective to collect information about parameters, methods and findings published by different researchers on analysis of B. monosperma flowers. It was seen that researchers have carried out studies on organoleptic properties, morphology, microscopy, physicochemical parameters, phytochemical evaluation, thin layer chromatography, HPTLC and HPLC analysis of B. monosperma flowers. This article provides details of methods and findings of studies carried out by different researchers on evaluation of B. monosperma flowers. It was noted that very limited number of studies have been published and most of them are based on single sample hence there is scope to carry out more studies on more number of samples of B. monosperma flowers so that it can be helpful to establish standardization parameters for B. monosperma flowers.
