Evaluation of chemical properties in the present experiment showed that the maximum cold water solubility, hot water solubility, 1% alkali solubility, alcohol-benzene solubility along with lignin content were observed in Bombax ceiba followed by Anthocephalus cadamba. The findings of the present investigation can be feasibly used in screening and selecting the appropriate species in the field of pulp and paper, fibre board, particle board industries and different structural and constructional purposes.
