Tulbaghia violacea has been used extensively in South African traditional medicine for treatment of a number of ailments.Few studies have examined the bioactive compounds present in the plant. This study assessed the phytochemicals presentin the leaves, stems and roots of T. violacea. The phytochemicals were extracted separately with distilled water and 70%ethanol by maceration. A wide variety of pharmacologically active compounds such as tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids,saponins, proteins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, phenols and coumarins were present in some of the T. violacea plant parts.However, phlobatannins, leucoanthocyanins, alkaloids, carbohydrates and anthocyanins were absent in the plant. Thisstudy showed that most of the phytocompounds were present in the leaves of T. violacea compared to the stem and roots.This is significant for conserving the species since the leaves of the plant can be harvested for medicinal use while the restof the plant is left intact for regeneration of the plant. This study also showed that the two solvents extracted differentamounts and types of phytochemicals from the different parts of the plant suggesting that a single solvent may not be ableto extract all the known bioactive compounds from a plant.
