Chemotaxonomy is the classification of plants based on the chemical constituents in plants. It is assumed that the relationship between various types of plants can be predicted based on the similarity in the chemical substances present in them. Compounds that belong to the category of secondary metabolites and miscellaneous substances are of great values in identifying such relationships between plants and their classification. Chemical substances of low molecular weight such as the alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, carotenoids, aromatic compounds etc. are some of them.
