“…In Sri Lanka, the plant is said to be useful in the treatment of skeletal fractures (Ekanayake, 1980). The hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, and water extracts of flowers of this plant are reported to exhibit antibacterial activity against Gram-positive organisms (Duraipandiyan & Ignacimuthu, 2007). The hepatoprotective property of the hexane leaf extract of this plant against carbon tetrachloride-and paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity was demonstrated in rats (Bhakta et al, 1999(Bhakta et al, , 2001.…”
