Abstract : In India Ayurveda have a great value and historical importance of traditional medicine. Indian medicine shows scientific support and recent research in this field. Traditional herbal medicine also shows a good background and importance. The Erythrina variegata L.is a coral tree belongs to family Fabaceae. The local name is pangara. It is a multipurpose deciduous, thorny tree. For the identification of seeds of Erythrina variegata L. the shape, size, symmetry, hilum position are also the important parameters that characterizes the identity of seeds. The structural form depends on all these factors. The SEM investigation i.e. Scanning electron microscopy play a very important role in differentiating and identification of micromorphological characters of seeds. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of Erythrina variegata L. leaves and seeds extraction detect various phytochemicals. Detection of sugar in seed by thin layer chromatography methods is important for identification and separation of organic compounds. From above observations essential for seed surface study, phytochemicals and sugar detection in the seeds and leaves are important constituents for drug preparations.

Keywords : Seed Morphology, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Biochemical, Phytochemical Analysis, Fabaceae.
