Abstract	In Gujarat state, two species, Cocculus hirsutus and Cocculus pendulus are reported. This study presents a comparative report of these two species. Phytochemical analysis of the leaf extracts of both species report the presence of several important phytochemicals like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, etc. On testing the Total Flavonoids Contents (TFC) of both the species, it was concluded that TFC was higher in C. hirsutus (L.) leaf extracts as compared to C. pendulus (Forst) leaf extracts. The antioxidant activity in the leaf extracts of C. hirsutus (L.) and C. pendulus (Forst) was studied, which was significantly higher in C. hirsutus (L.) than in C. pendulus (Forst). Though much analysis and research work has been reported for Cocculus hirsutus (L.), there are yet many studies to be done on the aspects of Cocculus pendulus (Forst).
