The present study was carried to identify the phyto-constituents present in the methanolic extract of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers by GC-MS analysis to ascertain its usage by the local community as a plant possessing medicinal properties. In total 68compounds were identified. The major constituents were furfural (2.33%), 3-aminopyrazine 1-oxide levoglucosenone (1.39%) tetetrapentacontane (2.47%), 9-octadecanoic acid (2.27%), n- hexadecanoic acid (7.5%), Neophytadiene (1.30%) and benzene propanoic acid (1.91%).
