Abstract: To study Morpho-parameters and the Phyto-constituents of Cissus quadrangularis (L.). variant I, II and III to provide its chemical constituents and find out the morphological variations between the three variants available in Tamil Nadu. The dried and powered stem materials (20 g) were extracted successively with 200 mL of methanol. Phytochemical analyses were carried out by using GC-MS and FT-IR. GC-MS identify the chemical compounds and FT-IR used to identify the functional group of Compounds. Based on GC-MS methanolic stem extract of C. quadrangularis three variants showed similar major compounds were identified. Such as 3- o- methyl- d- glucose, D-Allose, Phytol and 9, 12, 15 – octadecatrienoic acid. The FT-IR analysis showed similar functional group of compounds. The morphological character of C. quadrangularis showed various type of stems variation. Based on the morphological characters of C. quadrangularis stem shape differs in the three variants studied. Based on the GC-MS and FT-IR analyses similar phyto- constituent related to functional groups were present in all the three variants studied. The all the three variants of C. quadrangularis morphologically different in nature but the phytochemical study showed no major differents due to environmental adaptation of these plants were different from morphological character.
