“…As a result, a variety of skin conditions are treated with it [ 31 ]. Commelina diffusa aqueous methanolic leave extract showed better antibacterial activity than the standard drug against Staphylococcus aureus with a zone of inhibition of 13 mm [ 24 ]. Aqueous and methanolic extracts of freshly harvested Commelina cyanea leaves and stems have antifungal action against Epidermophyton floccosum , which may be attributed to tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins [ 40 ].…”

“…Commelina diffusa showed diuretic activity by reducing sodium ion reabsorption in the kidneys and its potassium-sparing effect [ 24 ]. The methanol decoctions of Commelina benghalensis are used as a prophylaxis of diarrhea by suffocating the propulsive movement of charcoal through the gastrointestinal tract, Similarly, this plant has anthelmintic activity through paralyzing then killing the parasites.…”

“…Ethyl acetate fraction of Commelina diffusa has a hypoglycemic effect due to 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, methyl gallate, lyratol F, N-trans -feruloyltyramine, N-trans - p -coumaroyl-3′,4′-dihydroxyphenylethylamine, and 1,2-dihydro-6,8-dimethoxy-7-hydroxy-1-(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)- N 1 , N 2 -bis-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-2,3-naphthalene dicarboxamide using α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory assays [ 24 ]. Methanol decoction of the whole Commelina benghalensis showed anti-diabetic activity in animals [ 41 ] .…”

The thirst for search of weeds as sources of herbal medicine is on high peak due to low cost, high expensive cost of modern medicine, poverty invading the population and worst the haphazard side effect of modern medicine on health. Seventy two (72) species of weed were distributed among sixteen (16) families and fifty (50) genera, forty seven native and twenty five exotic species were inventoried (Table 1) Random vegetation surveys were used to conduct the study in 2020. Plants observed were photographed, geo-referenced collected and organized to be herbarium specimen. Plants identification were done using checklist, weed manuals and standard key and later set for by means of Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) classification system. Component features in the study were; scientific and family names, common English names and Hausa names, native/exotic species and medicinal values, the information on the medicinal values on species part used in herbal medicine were obtained through literature and oral interview with various sources. The study investigates the medicinal values of paddy weeds in Usur. The result is presented in a tabular form showing the parts used, the roots, leaves, stems, flowers, bark and whole plant for curing different diseases and illness such us wound, typhoid, ulcer, pile, syphilis, and cancer etc., the parts are prepared or applied in the body or consumed as food or as a drinks. Weeds such us Ageratum conyzoides (L) cure gonorrhea; Indigofera hirsuta (L) treat epilepsy; Cynodon dactylon removes toxins and Amaranthus spinosus (L) treats kidney diseases. Majority of weeds belongs to the important families their distribution shows Poaceas, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Malvaceae, Fabaceae, Amaranthaceae, Lamiaceae and Rubiacea, Cleomaceae, Commelinaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Solanaceae, Araceae, Onagracea, Portulaceae, and Sphenocleaceae respectively.
