The leaves and rhizomes of this plant were collected at periodic intervals. These samples were air dried, powdered and extracted with MeOH and EtOH. Antibacterial activity of these extracts was determined against three different index microbes, gram-positive cocci, gram-negative rod and cocci using well diffusion method with appropriate controls. Antimicrobial activity of the 4-month-old leaves was found to be the maximum while that of mature and fresh rhizomes was the maximum against both gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Indian&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.284</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
