Notes: Label source: Landemo or Tendemilahy - The fruits of A. madagascariensis Baker (Journ. Bot. June 1882 p. 173). These are small ovate fruits, with a dark brown wrinkled surface. A transverse section shows the fruit to be four-celled, the walls being soft, and spongy. The taste is pleasantly bitter. The fruits are about the size of a hazel nut, but when mature are stated by Baker to be 1 1/4 inch long. These, as well as the leaves, are used in malarial fever.
