Abstract
Rauwolfia serpentina is an important medicinal herb used in Ayurveda and Alleopathy. Reserpine is an indole alkaloid present in Rauwolfia serpentina viz. reported to possess anti-hypertensive and tranquilizer property.

A., University, Parbhani designated HRS-1, IRS-1, Medicinal plant garden, M.P.K.V., Rahuri, designated HRS-2, IRS-2, Nagarjun medicinal plant garden P. D. K. V., Akola designated HRS-3, IRS-3 and S. G. M., Amravati University, Amravati designated HRS-4, IRS-4 during rainy season in the month of August 2009 was used for the analysis.
