Tridax procumbens, commonly known as coatbuttons or tridax daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family. It is best known as a widespread weed and pest plant. It is native to the tropical Americas, but it has been introduced to tropical, subtropical, and mild temperate regions worldwide. It's used majorly in Indian traditional medicine. This is rich in alkaloids, steroids, carotenoids, flavonoids (such as catechins, centaurein and bergenins), fatty acids, phytosterols, tannins and minerals. Concoctions of extracts from T. procumbens leaves, stem, flower, and roots are used to treat patients suffering from diabetes, arthritis, inflammatory reactions and even applied to open wounds. The medicinal value of extracts has been evident by in vitro/in vivo assay of antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, vasorelaxant, anti-leishmanial and mosquitocidal activities. Still, there is derth in the studies on isolation, characterization and evaluation of active principles from the extracts. This current review article gives comprehensive information about the T. procumbens taxonomy, morphology, geographical distribution, phytoconstituents and pharmacological activities. #Gopesh @Gopesh. #tridax_procumbens #tridax_daisy #floral #flowers_mania__ #flowers #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowers_beauties #flowersofinstagram #flower_shotz #flowers_on_insta #flower_perfection #flowers🌸 #nature #nature_shot #nature_lovers #naturephotography #nature_brillance #nature_perfection #nature_beautiful #nature_beauty #nature_photography #nature_of_our_world #nature_brilliance #naturelovers #macro_admirer #macromania #macro_perfection #macro_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CI_B8bysOhS/?igshid=1ry53wh9uzsfj
