Description Woodfordia fruticosa Kurz of the family Lythraceae is a plant of tropical and subtropical region with a long history of medicinal use. A wide
range of chemical compounds including tannins (especially those of macrocyclic hydrolysable class), flavonoids, anthraquinone glycosides, and
polyphenols have been isolated from this species in recent times. Extracts and metabolites of this plant, particularly those from flowers and leaves,
possess useful pharmacological activities. A comprehensive account of the chemical constituents and the biological activities is presented and a
critical appraisal of the ethnopharmacological issues is included in view of the many recent findings of importance on this plant.
