Abstract
The present paper reports the pharmacognostic
and phytochemical evaluation of Commiphora caudata and Commiphora
wightii bark both plants are belongs to the family Burseraceae. Commiphora
caudata plant is a smooth, small tree with a thick trunk and papery bark,
mostly found in southern India, Sri Lanka. Commiphora wightii plant is a

Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Karnataka. The tree is typically grown as a shrub or
small tree, reaching a maximum height of 4 m (13 ft), with thin papery bark.
The branches are thorny. Macroscopic characteristics along with inflorescence
characteristics, consistency, percentage yield of Commiphora caudata and
Commiphora wightii bark were noted. Evaluation of active phytochemical
constituents and Preliminary phytochemical studies of bark extracts of Commiphora
caudata and Commiphora wightii. The bark of Commiphora caudata
and Commiphora wightii revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides,
