The samples of P. pabularia plant were picked up from Kambos Mountain in Bitlis. Essential oils of leaves and fruits of plant obtained by water distillation. To determine antioxidant properties, DPPH method was used. Antioxidant activities of fruits and leaves of the plant were determined as 28.70% and 25.54%, IC50 values detected as 15.43 µg/ml and 16.73 µg/ml respectively. Antimicrobial activity was dedected by disc diffusion method. The essential oil of fruits of plant showed thin antibiotic activity against Proteus mirabilis and Enterobacter aurogenes.
