Pergularia daemia (Forssk.) Chiov. of family Asclepidaceae commonly known as utaran which is used to cure cough, asthma and treating various diseases in traditional system of medicine. In this study, various phytochemicals were screened from Pergularia daemia leaves and physicochemical characteristics were analyzed. In addition to the leaf constants, the macroscopic and microscopic pharmacognostical characteristics were also measured. Physicochemical analysis of the powdered leaf drug was performed to assess its ash values, total ash value, acid soluble ash value and acid insoluble ash value, extractive value (alcohol and water soluble), and moisture content. Alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, saponins, carbohydrates, amino acids, and flavonoids have been identified in preliminary phytochemical screenings
