Preliminary phytochemical screening on the dried leaf extracts of Hannoaundulata using cold maceration by serial exhaustive extraction method with solvents of increasing polarity (Hexane, chloroform, ethylacetate, acetone and ethanol) was investigated. The phytochemical screening of the crude leaf extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins and glycosides in all extracts. Quantitative analysis on some detected phytochemicals reveals high content of saponins
