Abstract
Hamelia patens Jacq. of Rubiaceae is a medicinal shrub. The aqueous leaf, flower and fruit extracts were tested for antifungal potentials against Aspergillus fumigatus NCBT 112, Candida albicans NCBT 140, Fusarium oxysporum NCBT 156 and Rhizoctonia solani NCBT 194. The leaf and fruit extracts at 10.0% concentration resulted 100% growth inhibition for A. fumicatus as well as for C. albicans. The leaf, flower and fruit extracts at 10.0% concentration revealed 100% growth inhibition for F. oxysporum and R. solani. The fruit extract at 5.0% inhibited 100% growth in F. oxysporum and the same concentration of leaf extract inhibited 100% growth in R. solani. The 100% inhibition of leaf, flower and fruit aqueous extract can be comparable with positive control (Control-1) with bavistin 0.5% concentration.
