Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Fruit bearing trees are flowering plants which are mainly grown for their fruits which are consumed by humans and some animals. In recent times some are also grown for their aesthetic value, however there are many fruit bearing trees that have medicinal uses as well. On Princefield University College (PUC) Emerald campus (Ho, Volta region), many fruit bearing trees have been identified on the campus as having medicinal properties. This paper sought to identify some of the medicinal properties of the various parts of such trees on the campus. The paper reviewed the following plants which were identified; Magnifera indica, Carica papaya and Elaeis guineensis. It is hoped that this review will lead scientists into identifying the pharmacological benefits of the various parts of these fruit bearing trees.
