### **11. Conclusion**

African medicinal plants are a huge reservoir of medicinal agents for pharmaceutical research and development. Cures yet undiscovered lies in the medicinal plants. Our quest for the development of new drugs of African origin may come from the African medicinal plants if concerted effort and commitment from the African heads of government are put towards searching and screening of medicinal plants extracts with established ethnomedicinal claims. The medicinal plants are largely obtained from wild sources where there is no guarantee of constant supply due to over-harvesting, over-exploitation and extinction. Therefore, there is a need for their cultivation and conservation.
