Abstract: Plants are medicinally useful in treating diseases in the body and in most cases, the antimicrobial efficacy value attributed to some plants is beyond belief. The main objective of the present study was to ascertain the presence of different phytoconstitutents in the water, acetone and methanol extracts of species of pteridophytes by qualitative screening methods. The plant extracts were evaluated for the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, proteins, terpenoids, saponins, phenolic compounds and cardiac glycocides following preliminary methods. Extracts with methanol and acetone revealed maximum number of phytochemicals. The results revealed the occurrence of several bioactive constituents which could be applicable for their antimicrobial purposes
