Qualitative phyto-chemical analysis of whole plant extracts of Martynia annua reveals the presence of glycosides, tannins, carbohydrates, phenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins. GC-MS studies on both aqueous and alcohol extract shows the presence of twenty eight compounds, out of which oleic acid, constitutes the major part. Other major biological compounds include pelargonidin-3-5-diglucoside, cyanidin-3-galactoside, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, gentisic acid, arachidic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, apigenin, apigenin-7-o-glucuronide.<ref name="chemical composition"/>
