Strychnos suffruticosa

Strychnos suffruticosa is a plant native to tropical regions, known for its woody shrub form and small, fragrant flowers. It produces berries that contain compounds historically used medicinally, but these substances can be highly toxic if misused. The plant belongs to the same family as the more notorious strychnine tree, and while it has traditional uses, handling and use should be approached with caution due to potential poisonous effects. Its significance lies in its ethnobotanical relevance and its role in the study of natural bioactive compounds.
