Abstract
The study explored the phytochemical screening of the San Francisco (Codiaeum variegatum) Species using methanol as the solvent. Five species of San Francisco plants utilize the leaves and the stems namely: Victoria Gold Bell, Petra Croton, Red Iceton Croton, Oakleaf Croton, and Croton Super California. Results showed that San Francisco plant possesses phytochemical compounds such as saponins, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides and phenols that are essential for home remedies as treatment in various illnesses. Therefore, growing these ornamental plants in the household is beneficial as it could be a potent biocontrol of various health issues and concerns.
