Good morning everyone. Another tree with medicinal value found in the Philippines. I’m sure if many have this plant you can use it to cure some ailments. There are a total of 96 Philippine medicinal trees under 83 genera and 38 families. I want to share the most seen trees here.
Molave is a medium- to large-sized tree attaining a diameter of 100-150 cm and a height of 25-30 m. Bole is irregular, short and fluted. Buttress is thick, low to medium of moderately large. Its crown is spreading. Leaves opposite, whorled and deciduous. The flowers are blue, numerous, 6-8 mm long, hairy outside the cordial, and borne in terminal, particulate, and ample inflorescences up to 20 cm in length.
Medicinal Value:
■ Infusion or decoction of the wood is considered a good remedy for poison, as a dose of it will produce vomiting.
■ The bark is now use in decoction for diarrhea.
