Abstract
Aeschynomene (family Fabaceae) is an important genus which includes about more than 150 species. Species of this genus are widely distributed in the tropical and warm zones, mainly in Africa and South America. Members of this genus are ranging from herbs to small and medium size trees. Members of Aeschynomene were reported to be used in folk medicine in curing several ailments as cure cough and cold fever, increase the consistency of semen, antidote against snake bite, curing kidney troubles and against cattle skin eczema. A. elaphroxylon is a small tree reaching a height up to 9{u2013}12 m. It is native to the tropical Africa and Madagascar. It is cultivated in Egypt, Java and South America. A. elaphroxylon occurs at the sides of rivers, swamps and lakes, often standing in water, when the swollen stem will act as a float. This species is one of the main sources of ambatch wood, a very light, pithy wood. Phytochemical study of the flowers, leaves and stem bark was performed including preliminary phytochemical screening, UPLC- Orbitrap HRMS profiling of the secondary metabolites and quantitative estimation of the total phenolic and flavonoid contents
