Abstract: Iphigenia stellata Blatt. orGulabiBhuichakra belonging to the family Colchicaceae. Seeds, corms, and capsules were collected in the month of 18thAugust 2021 from Panchgani, District Satara. In the present research findings we have reported about the assessment of mineral sources of the Iphigenia stellata Blatt. seeds, corms, and capsules walls. We have investigated 62.52 % moisture in the corms. Highest Carbohydrates- 32.20%, mineral content 13.11% and energy166.47 Kcal/100g was found in the capsules walls. All the plant parts studied for their nutrient contents and mineral analysis showed valuable amount of the macroelements ,microelements and nutrients while an excellent source of the protein - 16.24% , fat- 1.44% ,fiber- 64% and Nitrogen - 2.60 % was recognized in the Iphigenia stellata seeds
