Colvillea racemosa is an ornamental plant due to its orange cone flowers that growing in Madagascar, Australia, and some tropical countries Especially, in lowland forest and savannah areas. The species is listed as "Least Concern" on the IUCN red list. Chemical and biological studies on Colvillea racemosa to date are fairly limited. This study to illustrate all previous work on different parts of Colvillea racemosa.
