Many medicinal plants are close to extinction due to their extensive use and over exploitation and or due to the habitat destruction. As a result of severe urbanization and population explosion the topographic conditions have begun to vary. Interest in growing plant species that are economic, ornamental as well as medicinal have on the contrary increased. Many members belonging to plant family Bignoniaceae has been known since ethnic times to being capable to cure a number of aliments. Keeping these ethnobotancal usages of the member of this plant family a comparative analysis was done inorder to find out the similarities and differences that are seen in the genus levels and the plant the leaves and flowers of Bignoniaceae. The present review is based on the GCMS based review on the phytochemicals found to be present in the leaves and flowers of three of the common ornamentals namely Cresentia cujete Linn., Tecoma stans L. (Juss.) ex. Kunth., Kigelia africana (Lam.) Benth. and Jacaranda mimosifolia D.Don are the those important parts without which the existence and propagation source won’t be there respectively.
