Hibiscus cannabinus (Kenaf) is one of the most important medicinal plants. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the phytochemical constituents by using quantitative and qualitative analysis of Hibiscus cannabinus leaves using aqueous, chloroform, petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and ethanol extracts with the help of standard techniques. Phytochemical screening reveals the presences of flavonoid, tannins, terpenoids, quinone, saponins, phenolic compound, steroids and coumarins. The Steroids and Terpenoids were present only in the ethanolic extract of Hibiscus cannabinus. The Alkaloids and Glycosides were completely absent in all the five extracts of Hibiscus cannabinus leaves. Quinone and Phenolic compounds were present in all the extract. Finally, the phytoconstituents of Hibiscus cannabinus leaves showed the high secondary metabolites with greater potentials.
