The present study was done to reveal the quantitative content of total sterols in various plant parts of Gloriosa superba and Urginea indica. In G. superba the maximum amount of total sterols (β-sitosterol and stigmasterol) was observed in flowers (22.12 mg/gdw) and minimum in rhizome (15.82 mg/gdw). In U. indica the maximum amount of total sterols (β-sitosterol, stigmasterol) was observed in leaf (23.46 mg/gdw) and minimum was found in bulb (18.18 mg/gdw).
