Abstract: Epiphytic pteridophyte Huperzia hamiltonii (Spreng.) Trevis., belongs to family Lycopodiaceae a least concern (LC) species, The plant is rich in bioactive phytochemicals, including flavonoids, phenolics, and alkaloids, which contribute to its medicinal value. This study aims to identify and characterize the key bioactive compounds present in the fronds. through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The FTIR Spectroscopic studies revealed different characteristic peak values with various functional compounds such as alkanes, carboxylic acid, esters, amines, nitro, alkyl halide and aromatic compounds. The FTIR method was performed on a spectrophotometer system, which is used to detect the characteristic peak values and their functional groups.
