Abstract
The aim of current research work is to explore the ecological role of Croton bonplandianum specie dominant to north eastern Punjab region of Pakistan. Under extreme drought condition the plant species survives modestly. The plant on blooming attract economic pollinator insects like honey bees even in dry climate periods. Croton bonplandianum (bail) was collected from wild and re-cultivated under normal atmospheric conditions. Its flowering body parts and stems were plucked and kept under shade for about two weeks for drying. The flowering inflorescence and herbaceous green portions were subjected to maceration, then grinded to fine powder. The powdered samples were analyzed using FTIR spectroscopic technique. FTIR spectral lines have shown different characteristic peaks pattern in case of flowers and non-flowering portion of plant inflorescence segment. Appropriate correlations of peaks to functional groups present were debated.
