Don (syn. &lt;em&gt;Symplocos paniculata&lt;/em&gt; (Thunb.) Miq.), Fam. Symplocaceae is extensively used in Indian medicine under the names of &lt;em&gt;Lodhra/Patikalodhra.&lt;/em&gt; Mainly it is used to cure uterine complaints, vaginal and menstrual disorders. &lt;strong&gt;Aim:&lt;/strong&gt; To investigate the phytochemicals from the n-hexane extract of the stem bark of &lt;em&gt;Symplocos crataegoides &lt;/em&gt;Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don., using GC-MS analysis. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Stem bark of &lt;em&gt;S.crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; was extracted by Soxhlet extraction method using n-hexane. The extract was injected by splitless injection mode into the GC MS 5975 C Agilent equipped with a QP- 5000 (quadrupole) Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Identification of 57 compounds from n-hexane extract. Those compounds were identified by close matches with standard MS spectra and compared with NIST - 11 and WILEY library data. Undecane (7.51%) was found as major compound followed by Isopropyl myristate, Dodecane, 1,2,4-trimethyl-benzene, Octacosane, 2-methyl-decane, 2-ethyl-1,2-dimethyl-benzene, 1,2,3,5- tetramethyl-benzene etc., other constituents were found to be in traceable quantities.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; GC-MS analysis of &lt;em&gt;S. crataegoides&lt;/em&gt; revealed certain interesting facts of presentation of various phytoconstituents in the stem bark. The presence of various phytoconstituents contributes to the medicinal activity of the plant.&lt;/p&gt;
