About

Pseuduvaria trimera is a species of plant in the family Annonaceae. It is native to Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and Yunnan. William Grant Craib, the British botanist who first formally described the species, named it after its fascicles of flowers that often occur in three (Latinized form of Greek τρι-, tri-) parts (Latinized form of Greek -μέρος, -meros).

Where it grows

It has been observed growing in evergreen and deciduous forests below limestone mountains at elevations of 240–1,500 meters (790–4,920 ft).

Uses

Extracts of bioactive molecules from its tissues have been reported to contain aporphine derivatives with cytoxic activity in tests with culture human cancer cells.
