ABSTRACT
The potential usefulness of certain plants is assessed from a nonexperimental validation method. The reproductive uses of Ageratum conyzoides and Cassia occidentalis were common across all the three research studies. Plants described similarly for reproductive health in Moodie and Lans were Abelmoschus moschatus, Achyranthes indica, Ambrosia cumanensis, Eryngium foetidum, Mimosa pudica and Stachytarpheta jamaicensis. Wong’s study was limited geographically but reflected reproductive health uses for the following plants recorded by Lans: Brownea latifolia, Capraria biflora, Coleus aromaticus, Eupatorium macrophyllum, Fleurya aestuans, Hibiscus rosasinensis, Justicia secunda, Leonotis nepetaefolia, Petiveria alliacea and Wedelia trilobata. Achyranthes aspera, and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis have antifertility activity which is not permanent. Ageratum conyzoides, Cola nitida, Coleus barbatus, Mimosa pudica and Piper auritum exert even stronger activity on the reproductive process.
