Ficus elastica is a species of the plant in the genus Ficus, from the family Moraceae. Ficus elastica, which is the object of our study, has been used for many years in phytodesign, however in terms of medicine, it remains a poorly studied plant. While studying the external signs and chemical composition of medicinal plant raw materials of leaves F{\'\i}cus elastica, chromato-mass spectrometry was used. During the process of studying, some diagnostic signs of Ficus elastica were identified. Chromato-mass spectrometry was used to identify 68 compounds. The maximum amount was accounted for б-D-Glucopyranoside, methyl (28,99\%), Phytol (9,90\%), 2-Hydroxy-3-methylsuccinic acid (6,93\%), Lanosterol (6,13\%), Hydroquinone (5,55\%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester, (Z,Z,Z)- (4,86\%), Lup-20(29)-en-3- one (4,17\%), 1,2-Benzenediol (3,33\%), Lupeol (2,95\%), 16-Allopregnene-3б,9а-diol-20-one 3-O-acetate (2,77\%), 9-Octadecenamide, (Z)- (2,67\%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)- (2,05\%), з-Sitosterol (1,84\%), а-d-Lyxofuranoside, methyl (1,57\%), Dasycarpidan-1-methanol, acetate (ester) (1,52\%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (1,45\%), Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester (1,33\%), 1,8-Dioxacyclohexadecane-2,10- dione, 5,6:12,13-diepoxy-8,16-dimethyl- (1,15\%), Vitamin E (0,64\%). Identified morphological features of the leaves of Ficus elastica can be used in diagnosis of this species and may help to develop indicators of authenticity for promising medicinal leaves. As mentioned earlier, by means of chromato-mass spectrometry were identified 68 compounds, and the relative percentage of identified compounds was determined using a simple normalization method.

Introduction: Gauzuma ulmifolia Lam. (GU) belonging to the family Malvaceae, commonly called Bastard Cedar is native to tropical American countries. It was introduced into India more than 100 years ago. Methods: In the present study, alcoholic seed extract of Gauzuma ulmifolia Lam. was subjected to GC MS/MS analysis and chemical compounds were characterized. Results: Totally sixteen compounds were characterized. Chemical analysis of the extract showed that it includes bioactive compounds like D-Asarinin (65.02 \%), 2,6-Bis (3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-3,7-dioxabicyclo (3.3.0) octane (20.12 \%), 1-Dodecanone, 2-(imidazol- 1-yl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl) (7.54 \%) and o-Anisic acid, tridec-2-ynyl ester (3.33 \%) as major constituents. Minor components such as Vitamin E, \γ \– Tocopherol, Ergost-5-en-3-ol, (3\β), Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester is also present. Conclusion: Based on the above results, the seeds of this plant could posse\’s oxygen (92.27 \%), hydrocarbon (0.19 \%) and nitrogen (7.54 \%) derivatives of volatile principle. This is the first-time report on the composition of seed of GU.
