Abstract

Tecoma stans, the yellow bells Plants belonging to the family Bignoniaceae. It height ranges from 2 to 4 meters. It is an important medicinal herb throughout India. Among all parts from Plant-seeds, roots and bark are the most important parts which are used Medicinally.

Tecoma stans leaves extract with distilled water 1μg/ml, 10μg/ml and 100μg/ml concentrations. The result indicated that more potent skeletal muscle activity on frog’s rectus abdominus muscle.
