dc.description.abstract	Plants have been considered for several years to be a valuable source of compounds that can be active against the activity of many pathogenic organisms but lower plants are rarely considered useful in many cases. In this study, the phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial activity and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) analysis was carried out on P. superbum methanolic extract following standard procedures from earlier reports. The qualitative phytochemical screening result revealed the presence of important phytochemicals like tannin, saponin, alkaloid, flavonoid, protein, terpenoid, oxalate, glycoside, anthraquinone, and phytobiotin in the plant extract. Flavonoid has the highest quantity of 6.69mg/g while terpenoid has the lowest quantity of 0.66mg/g. The result of the antimicrobial activity of P. superbum revealed that the plant extract compared with some standard drugs like Ciprofloxacin, Streptomycin, Septrin and Gentamycin had significantly the same level of activity at certain concentrations while the extract showed greater potency against the test microbes at some other concentrations.
