However, the characterization of these plants has not yet studied in details manner. Therefore, the present investigation made on attempt to explore detailed information by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) of the plant powder samples. For identifying various functional groups, 4000–400 cm-1 wavenumber range used in FT-IR. The results of FT-IR suggested the confirmative presence of alkyl halides, amino acids, alkenes and primary amines. Further, SEM results confirmed the amorphous nature of all plant species.
