Abstract

Seeds of (the plant) P. Corylifolia Linn (Bawachi) known for their therepeutic value in indigenous medicine have been analysed for Cu, As, Sb and Se by thermal neutron activation analysis involving substoichiometric extraction and precipitation technique. The amounts of Cu, As, Sb and Se per gram of seeds dried at 80°C are 16.0±1.1 μg, 0.90±0.4 μg, 12.1±0.6 μg and 4.0±0.2 μg respectively.
