The present study emphasis on alien species ‘Hyphaene dichotoma’ found in districts of Gir, Gujarat, India. It is one of the most important useful plants in the world. All parts of Hyphaene dichotoma palm have a useful role such as fiber and leaflets which is used to weave baskets and Hyphaene dichotoma nuts which have antioxidants and secondary metabolites such as tannins, phenols, saponin, steroids, glycosides, flavonoid, terpenes and terpinoids. Also, roots, stems and leaves are used in medicine, ropes and baskets. Studies on anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer and pharmacological potential of Hyphaene dichotoma extracts and its major phytoconstituents like the phenolic, essential oil and flavonoid compounds are extensively studied. The result of Antioxidant property shows that the fruit of Hyphaene dichotoma is a source of potent antioxidants.
