Botanical illustration, 1910

Pleiocarpa mutica grows as a shrub or small tree up to 7.5 metres (25 ft) tall, with a stem diameter of up to 5 cm (2 in). Its fragrant flowers feature a white corolla. The fruit is yellow to bright orange with paired follicles, each up to 2 cm (1 in) long. Local medicinal uses include as a treatment for stomach-ache, kidney diseases, malaria, jaundice and as a laxative.[3]

Distribution and habitat

Pleiocarpa mutica is native to an area of tropical Africa from Sierra Leone east to the Central African Republic.[2] The species is found in a variety of habitats from sea-level to 600 metres (2,000 ft) altitude.[3]

The alkaloid kopsinine, which has in vitro anticholinergic activity, has been isolated from Pleiocarpa mutica.[4]
