“…Some studies reported a relationship between the chemical structures of the major compounds in the essential oils of C. cinerea and its antibacterial activity. It has been reported that the ethylacetate and n-butanol extracts of the aerial parts of C. cinerea aerial part showed antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas savastanoui, Bacillus sp., Bacillus brevis and Bacillus sphaericus [46], while the ethyl ether extract produced no antimicrobial activity against these bacterial strains. In another study, 70% ethanol, n-butanol, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether extracts of the aerial part of C. cinerea elicited antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli [47].…”

Cotula cinerea Del. belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is widely used in the traditional medicinal system for the treatment of various ailments such as colic, cough, diarrhea, digestive disorders, rheumatism, urinary and pulmonary infections, fever and headaches. Cotula cinerea contains a wide range of phytochemical compounds such as saponins, essential oils, tannins, flavonoids, steroids, and terpenoids. This paper reviews information pertaining its traditional uses, phytochemistry and biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, herbicidal, anti-diarrheal and analgesic properties. It is hoped that the information presented here might stimulate further studies that will possibly lead to development of therapeutic agents from this plant.

“…Some other plant species found at the examined sites contain also chemical protectants against pest, e.g. Cotula cinerea (Markouk et al, 1999) and Trigonella stellata (Kawashty et al, 1998). However, soil microbial biomass is usually increased under A. monosperma shrubs despite this potential unfavourable chemical release (Elgamal et al, 1997, Sarig et al, 1999.…”

Zayed M. A. & Bartsch D. 2000. Spatial relationship of ephemeral plants to Artemisia monosperma (Asteraceae) canopy in Egyptian deserts. Taeckholmia 20(2): 115-122.In desert plant communities, annual plant species interact both positively and negatively with perennial shrubs. In this study, the influence of Artemisia monosperma shrubs on soil nutrients, plant density and biomass of annual plants underneath and outside the canopy was examined. Two desert habitats were compared with similar soil texture but with different climatic attributes. Levels of soil nitrogen, phosphorus and organic matter were significantly higher underneath than between shrubs, but differed between the two habitats which may be attributed to differences in climatic conditions. Despite higher availability of nutrients underneath the canopy, density and biomass of most ephemerals were lower than between shrubs. An hypothetic explanation could be the difference in canopy shading or water supply as well as allelopathic effects of oil leachates from the shrubs.

“…We have investigated the possible antipyretic actions of Moroccan medicinal plants (Calotropis procera, Cotula cinerea and Zygophyllum goetulum) traditionally used in the treatment of fever. In previous studies, we reported several biological properties of extracts from these plants (Jaouhari et al, 1999;Markouk et al, 1999aMarkouk et al, , 1999bRedwane et al, 1998;Larhsini et al, 1997). The present work was undertaken to study the antipyretic activity of extracts from C. procera, C. cinerea and Z. gaetulum.…”
