ABSTRACT
Dear readers and authors,
I am pleased to bring you Volume 9, Issue 3 of Pharmacognosy Communications. In this issue we present new research reports examining the Pharmacognosy of several important medicinal plants including the phytochemistry and anti-plasmoidal activity of biflavanones isolated from the stem bark of Garcinia buchananii Engl. A further study reported the antibacterial activity of oleanolic acid and other compounds isolated from Cordia africana L. extracts. This study was particularly noteworthy as the compounds were screened against Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE). The antibacterial activity of the Australian plant species Xanthophyllum fragrans C. T.
