Abstract

Prosopis cineraria is locally known as Khejri one of the most common tree of the Indian desert belonging to family Mimosacease. It has been reported that the plant contains anti -inflammatory, anticonvulsant, antifungal, anticancer, antidiabetic, hypolipidemic, abortifacient, antioxidant, antimicrobial and wound healing properties. This is a preferred tree for agro-forestry and is a popular renewable source of fuel, fodder, timber and vegetables needed by local hosts. Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce is a deep rooted, nitrogen fixing, multipurpose tree endemic to the hot deserts of India.
