From phytochemical screening of the seven species of Caryophyllaceae, that is, one species of Melandrium, and Dianthus aud Pseudostellaria, two species of Stellaria and Cerastium the following compounds were identifiel. 1) aldehyde, sugars, other reducing compounds and glycosides from the above mentioned seven species of Caryophyllaceae were identified by thin layer chromatography method and comparison of Rf values with the standard substances. 2) Saponins, steroids and terpenoids showed positive reaction with the Froth testing in all of seven plants. Five species of plant showed positive reaction with Liebermann-Buchard test. 3) Flavonoid and polyphenolic compounds were identified by the spots in TLC-test and chlorogenic acid showed the same Rf values with the standard substances. 4) The spots of alkaloid were shown at Rf=0.68 (Stellaria aquatica) and at Rf=0.71 (Pseudostellaria palibiniana) and at Rf= 0.70, and 0.44 (Dianthus sinensis).
