The methodology employed involves extensive search and literature review of various local and international peer-reviewed journals that focused on Nigeria plants with antianaemic activity used by the people in different parts of the country. The scientific search engines used in this study included the Google scholar, (https://scholar.google.com) and PubMed (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed). The study database were research articles and other scientific write-ups known for their academic importance, covering different aspects of the plant species (Botany, places where the plants are commonly found, parts of the plant used and the type of anaemia it ameliorates) dating from 2005 to 2017.
