Abstract
The sedative activity of Rauvolfia densiflora Benth ex Hook. f. (Apocynaceae) roots and leaves was evaluated using the rat hole board technique. The results indicate that crude extracts of R. densiflora has sedative properties as the leaf extract significantly reduced dips and rearing, and the root extracts reduced dips, motor and rearing activities related to exploratory behaviour of rats.
