Phytochemical and anti-bacterial activity of epidermal glands extract of Christella parasitica (L.) H. Lev.

The present study shows that epidermal glands of the glandular morphotype of C. parasitica (L.) H. Lev. have several bioactive compounds and such rare morphovariant should be conserved in nature. The next step is to isolate the pure compounds and to screen the bioactivity of individual compounds of the epidermal glands.
