Abstract
Euphorbia thymifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a small branched plant. The leaves, seeds and fresh juice of the whole plant are used in worm infections, as stimulant. Phenols are present in large amount in this plant which has played a major role in household’s products and as an intermediate for industrial synthesis. The study of macroscopic and microscopic examination of Euphorbia thymifolia has been proved that this plant has smooth and thin surface. In TLC method, there were four and five spots were observed which indicated that flavonoid was present in good quality. This fact was also supported by quantitative analysis of flavonoid for Euphorbia thymifolia. So this study indicated that Euphorbia thymifolia plant having moderate amount of flavonoids, which can be a good source antioxidants and food supplements.
