Leaves against L. major. Promastigotes.The concentration of 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100 mg/ml of aqueous extract had
stronger effect against L. major. Promastigotes giving growth index equal to zero percent after four days of
cultivation, while the concentration of 1, 10, 100 mg/ml of alcoholic extract give growth index equal to zero percent
after five days of cultivation and the concentration of 10 and 100 mg/ml of crude extract give a good effect with
