Aerva javanica, “known as desert cotton” is an essential oil-bearing plant species. This plant is belonging to the Amaranthaceae (cockscomb) family. A. javanica is a perennial xerophytic shrub, which is common and widespread in tropical and subtropical dry areas.

Also, the study will provide detailed information about the general characteristic of A. javanica essential oil. Including it is yield, physical characteristics, main chemical groups, main chemical constituents and it is biological activities. Supported with plant part indication and essential oil extraction technology. Also, the study will illustrate scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos for A. javanica leaf (abaxial and adaxial views) collected from the United Arab Emirates wildlife flora. In conclusion, the work will provide some recommendations related to the possible future applications based on A. javanica in the pharmaceutical field.
