Abstract
Baliospermum montanum (Wild.) Muell. Arg., (Euphorbiaceae) is a well known medicinal plant which is used in treatment of various diseases. The present study was focussed on the separation and investigation of the phytochemical compounds from ethanolic extract by GC-MS technique. The mass spectra of thecompounds found in the extract were matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The ethanolic extract revealed the presence of 30 bioactive compounds. The major and minor phytochemical compounds are 2,15-Dithia[3](9,10)anthracenol[3](2,6)pyridinophane,1,2,3,4-tetrahydro showed the highest peak 9.32% followed by phytol-9.08%, Neophytadiene-7.38%, 8,11-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester (CAS)-7.06%, 4-ethyl-6-[2-(methoxycarb onyl)ethenyl]-7-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]1,3,5,8-tetramethyl-2-vinylporphyrin-6.72%, 2-pentafluorophenylpropanal-6.43%,4,4'-Isopropylidene-bis-(2-cyclo hexyl phenol)-5.91% etc.. Further pharmacological studies are needed to find out the medicinal aspect of these compounds.

Summary
A plant has been an important source of medicine with qualities for thousands of years. B. montanum is widely distributed throughout the sub Himalayan tracts from khasi hills to Kashmir. It is a shade loving plant grows well in humid climate. It is available in Bengal, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and peninsular India. Phytochemical compounds of B. montanum have high medicinal importance in the treatment of diseases like hemorrhoids, calculi, abdominal pain, itching, leprosy, burning sensation, inflammation, abdominal disorders, bleeding disorders and worm infestation, tumors etc. This study is to find out the phytochemical and the bioactive compounds which are present in the whole plant body of B.monatanum by GC-MS technique
