This study focus on cordia africana Lam. cultivated in Egypt. Firstly DNA profiling was done for selective discrimination of this plant. The results of phytochemical screening revealed the presence of different constituents. The chemical composition of the essential oil of flowers was investigated by GC / MS, the percentage of oxygenated compounds identified in flowers oil (84.16%). Investigation of lipoidal matter of leaves of plant revealed the presence of pentanediol as the major hydrocarbon identified (53.95%). study of carbohydrate content of cordia africana Lam. Fruits was done. it found that it composed of mannitol (27.60%). Nutritional value of the fruits was evaluated .The fruits are rich in total protein, minerals and vitamins. Qualitatative and quantitative estimation of polyphenols and flavonoids of some cordia species in Egypt were performed and comparing between different concentrations of phenolics and flavonoids was done to distinguish between these species. Quantitative determination of polyphenols and flavonoids of leaves, flowers and fruits of cordia africana lam. Was carried out. High resolution UPLC MS analysis of cordia africana lam. Leaves and Fruits extracts was done
