Abstract (2. Language): 
The seasonal variation of starch , total sugar and total carbohydrates content have been investigated from leaves, wood and bark of Butea monosperma, Madhuca indica and Mimusops elengi are the medicinally important plant of Marathwada region. Comparative account of starch content of leaves, wood and bark of Madhuca indica showed higher level (range 6.208 to 9.883 mg/g dry wt.) than Butea monosperma (range 2.415 to 6.151 mg/g dry/wt.) and Mimusops elengi (range 5.990 to 7.869 mg/g dry wt.). Comparative account of total sugar content of leaves, wood and bark of Madhuca indica showed higher level (range 2.472 to 4.458 mg/g dry wt.) than Butea monosperma (range 1.257 to 5.021 mg/g dry wt.) and Mimusops elengi (range 1.144 to 2.167 mg/g dry wt.). Comparative account of total carbohydrate content of leaves, wood and bark of Madhuca indica showed higher level (range 8.718 to 14.045 mg/g dry wt.) than Butea monosperma (range 3.958 to 10.748 mg/g dry wt.) and Mimusops elengi (range 7.516 to 9.937 mg/g dry wt.).
