Table 3

Antifungal activity of different solvent extracts of H. rosea.

Plant extracts	Zone of inhibition (mm)
	Aspergillus niger	Aspergillus flavus	Fusarium solani
n-Hexane (HR-1)	—	8.57	6.75
Ethyl acetate (HR-2)	11.82	11.75	7.68
Chloroform (HR-3)	—	9.70	8.22
n-Butanol (HR-4)	—	8.73	—

Note. indicates significant results () (— means not active). All the extracts exhibited significantly () lower antifungal activity than that of standard, clotrimazole. However, ethyl acetate extract of H. rosea showed the highest antifungal activity among all extracts.
