Abstract-Ash values were determined with a purpose to find out the total amount and inorganic solutes present in the plant material. Four species of genus Terminalia (Terminalia cuneata, Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia chebula and Terminalia catappa) was studied for the for determining ash value and percentage method. In plant Terminalia cuneata the percentage of total ash were found to be in the increasing order of leaves < bark< wood. The percentage of acid insoluble ash content were also found to be in the increasing order of leaves <bark < wood. In Terminalia bellirica, in various seasons showed highest range of ash values of total ash. The total ash content of leaves Terminalia chebula Retz. ranges from (7.85% to 4%) higher level being observed during summer season (8.4%). The total ash content of leaves of Terminalia catappa Linn. ranges from (8.8 % to 9.3 %). Acid solubility of leaves of the same plant ranges from (6.1% to 6.65 %) higher level of acid solubility was observed at summer season (6.65 %). Key words- Terminalia, Ash, Acid solubility
