Family Fabaceae comprises 650 genera and 1800 species, many of which are of important medicinal and economical value. Genus Cassia has been widely used in folkloric and modern medicine as laxative, antihepatoma, antihypertension, antitubercular and many other uses. Cassia renigera Benth. and Cassia notabilis Randell. are two species belonging to genus Cassia, cultivated in Egypt for ornamental purposes.Phytochemical screening of the two species revealed the presence of flavonoids, anthraquinones/anthracenes, sterols and/or triterpenes, carbohydrates and/or glycosides HPLC analysis of free and hydrolyzed polysaccharides led to the identification of thirteen compounds in both plants where the major free sugar in C. renigera Benth. was sucrose and the major hydrolyzed PS was arabinose, while xylose was the major free andhydrolyzed PS in C. notabilis Randell.
