“…A powder from the leaves is used externally for the treatment purulent ulcers. Fresh crushed leaves are pulverized and applied with sweet butter on scabies and for the elimination of warts (Batsatsashvili et al 2017). A water infusion is used against worm in small doses (Batsatsashvili et al 2017).…”

“…Juniperus sabina is used for dyeing: A dye solution is prepared from needless young shoots and immature fruits to obtain olive color. The dye is used for dyeing wool and silk in yellow and gray shades, and for scented soaps (Batsatsashvili et al 2017). The leaves serve as diuretic and for dermatological problems in veterinary medicine (Batsatsashvili et al 2017;Bussmann et al 2016aBussmann et al , b, 2017Bussmann et al , 2018).…”

Botany and Ecology Juniperus procera Hochst. ex Endl.: Straight evergreen trees up to 40 m tall, bark papery, reddish-brown. Leaves on young plants in threes, subulate, spine-tipped, with an elongate gland abaxially, mature foliage of decussate scale-like leaves, varying in size as the individual ages down to 1 mm long, abaxial gland elliptic. Male cones 3 mm long, elliptic, scales about 10, each bearing 2-3 pollen sacs. Male cones 3 mm long, elliptic, scales about 10, each bearing 2-3 pollen sacs. Female strobili of 6-8 scales. Ripe fruit 6 mm in diameter, globose, blue-black, with the tips of the scales just distinguishable. Mature seeds 5 mm long, 1 or 2, brown, aborted seeds 1-3, smaller. Juniperus procera occurs wild from Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia southwards through East Africa and eastern DR Congo to Malawi and Zimbabwe; it also occurs wild in Saudi Arabia and Yemen (Melville 1958). Juniperus procera grows rather fast in comparison to other primary forest species (Bussmann 1999). Pencil Cedar needs light to germinate and does not germinate without scarification, which naturally is done by fire. The seeds of the species stores exceptionally well for years (Bussmann and Lange 2000). The species forms the most extensive

“…J. sabina grows in very rare relic communities, and has a limited distribution, being at the verge of extinction (García-Cervigón et al, 2018;Lambevska-Hristova & Bancheva, 2019). Shoots contain essential oil and are poisonous Batsatsashvili et al, 2017). Shoots and juniper berries contain glycosides, saponins, flavonids, tannins and up to 17% sabinol, which causes severe poisoning and miscarriages in cattle.…”

We determined a high antibacterial effect of ethanol extracts of four species of gymnosperms (Juniperus sabina, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Cephalotaxus harringtonia) against 23 strains of bacteria of families Enterobacteriaceae (Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium, S. adobraco, Proteus vulgaris, P. mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae), Staphylococcaceae (Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis), Yersiniaceae (Yersinia enterocolitica), Bacillaceae (Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus), Listeriaceae (Listeria ivanovi, L. іnnocua, L. monocytogenes), Corynebacteriaceae (Corynebacterium xerosis), Campylobacteraceae (Campylobacter jejuni), Nocardiaceae (Rhodococcus equi), Pseudomonadaceae (Pseudomonas аeruginosa) and one strain of fungi of the Saccharomycetaceae family (Candida albicans). The experiment in vitro revealed zone of inhibition of growth of colonies, measuring over 8 mm, produced by ethanol extracts from J. sabina against seven species of bacteria (S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. cereus, L. іnnocua, C. xerosis, Rh. equi and P. аeruginosa), Ch. lawsoniana – against five species (E. coli, B. subtilis, L. іnnocua and Rh. equi), P. menziesii –two species (Rh. equi and P. mirabilis), C. harringtonia – ten species of microorganisms (E. coli, S. aureus, S. epidermidis, L. ivanovi, L. monocytogenes, C. xerosis, C. jejuni, P. vulgaris, S. marcescens and C. albicans). As a result of the research, the most promising plants for further in vivo study of antibacterial activity were C. harringtonia and J. sabina.
