Abstract
Acalypha wilkesiana Muell Arg, commonly known as copper leaf, is a member of the Euphorbiaceae family and is renowned for its ornamental value. In this study, we conducted a qualitative analysis of A. welkesiana, with a focus on its phytochemical constituents and elemental composition. Through meticulous examination, we have identified the presence of several vital chemical compounds within this plant species, including flavonoids, saponins, tannins, phenols, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, and phlobatannins. These findings not only illuminate the diverse array of phytochemicals harbored by A. welkesiana but also provide valuable insights into its potential applications in the fields of pharmaceuticals and ecology. This study enhances our comprehension of the chemical composition of A. welkesiana, unveiling its multifaceted significance in the natural world.
