The present study deals with the analysis of leaf and root powders of Furcraea foetida (L.) Haw. under daylight and ultra violet radiation(254 and 365nm). The root and leaf powders were treated with different chemical reagents and their fluorescence patterns were analysed after overnight incubation. Under daylight the leaf mostly showed various shades of green and brown while the root showed different shades of red. The colours and the characteristic fluorescent properties of various extracts of leaves and roots of Furcraea foetida recorded in this study helps in preliminary identification of potential phytocompounds as many are fluorescent in nature. It could also be used as a standard in the identification and authentication of its crude form.
