Tithonia rotundifolia (Miller) S. F. Blake1,2 , belongs to the family Asteraceae which is commonly known as “Mexican Sunflower”. It is found in Mexico, wastelands and on roadside in India. It is annual herb, distinguishable by the sub shrub habit. Its leaves are stiffly hairy and alternate and sunflower-like heads of petal–like orange ray florets and yellow disk florets. Its leaves are used in malaria. The present paper deals with chemical examination of the flowers of the plant, which has been found to consists of two free sugars viz. D-Xylose D-Galactose, and six amino acids viz-Glycine, Arginine Alanin, Histidine, Leucine, Valine and aglycone Taxifolin.
