The current review article deals with the comprehensive phytochemical background of genus Polygonatum. It was observed that out of approximately 60 species, only 9 are subject to phytochemical studies that led mostly to the isolation of saponins, phytohormones, glycosides, flavonoids, esters and alkaloids. However, the remaining species are still waiting for exploration.
