Abutilon indicum (Malvaceae), a therapeutically valuable shrub can act as a continuous source of stigmasterol, accredited with pharmacological significance. In the present study, the content of stigmasterol when analyzed in both in vivo and in vitro plants was found to be 13.89 ± 1.43 and 20.50 ± 2....
