 Cineraria Prosopis (L.) Leguminosae, Druce family, Synonym Prosopis spicigera, also known as Khejri, Janti, and Sami, is a deep-rooted, nitrogen-fixing, multipurpose tree native to India's scorching deserts. It contributes to the region's ecological stability by giving significant support to humans, cattle, and nutrient-depleted soils. Rajasthan and Telangana each have it as their state tree. It is also the United Arab Emirates' national tree. 5-hydroxytryptamine, apigenin, isorhamnetin-3-diglucoside, l-arabinose, quercetin, tannin, and tryptamine have all been discovered in Prosopis. Patulitrin, a patuletin glucoside, has been isolated from the flowers. Fixed oils (4.5 percent) and fatty acids such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid are found in seeds. It has traditionally been used to treat helminthiasis, leprosy, dysentery, bronchitis, asthma, leucoderma, piles, mental wandering, and muscle spasms. This article discusses the plant's phytochemical, pharmacological, traditional, and medicinal value.
