Scientific reports on the haemostatics well as anticoagulaent effects of Tridax procumbens in human volunteers are relatively scanty even though their uses in wound care in many indigenous tribes around the world have been widely reported. This experiment was therefore designed to scientifically test the possible effects of hydro-alcoholic, petether (60-80°c), and aqueous extracts of leaves of Tridax procumbens on blood coagulation by using Lee -White method. It was observed that blood clotting time was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) by ethanolic extract of leaves (LE) and pet-ether extract of leaves (LPT) of Tridax procumbens. Aqueous extract of leaves (LAQ) did not show any activityThis result suggests that the various extracts of Tridax procumbens possess haemostatic properties
