| Notes: | Label source: This consists of the leaves or twigs of H.madagascariensis. The leaves are opposite, smooth, short stalked, oblong, entire, with prominent veins underneath, which are placed at almost a right angle to the midrib. The taste is very astring, ent. In Madagascar the leaves are used as well as those of the Harongana kelifodia (Psidium pomiferum) in diarrhoea and dysentery. In Mauritius (according to Bouton, l.c.,p.19) the yellow juice which flows from the incised stems is used as an applicati, on to ringworm and a skin disease called Tampane. | ||||
