It is also useful in skin diseases. The roots are used as antidote to snake poison. The present article deals with the isolation and structural elucidation of a novel flavonol glycoside 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-7- O - f - l -rhamnopyranosyl(1 M 3)- O - g - d -galactopyranoside ( 1 ) from the roots of Bauhinia Variegata and its structure was identified by spectral analysis and chemical degradations.
