Trichilia Maynasiana
''Trichilia'' is a flowering plant genus in the family (biology), family Meliaceae. These plants are particularly diverse in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Several species are used in folk medicine and shamanism – e.g. ''Trichilia rubescens, T. rubescens'' against malaria, ''Trichilia tocacheana, T. tocacheana'' as a hallucinogen, and ''Trichilia catigua, T. catigua'' in the aphrodisiac and stimulant catuaba. ''Trichilia emetica, T. emetica'' wood, also known as Natal mahogany or Cape mahogany is the traditional material of choice for Mozambique's famous ''psikhelekedana'' Scale model, miniature artists. ''Trichilia dregeana'', or forest mahogany also yields timber and is also used in carvings, traditional African musical instruments, household implements, furniture, bats and canoes. Selected species: * ''Trichilia acuminata'' * ''Trichilia areolata'' * ''Trichilia blanchetii'' * ''Trichilia breviflora'' * ''Trichilia bullata'' * ''Trichilia casaretti'' * ' ...

Trichilia Emetica
''Trichilia emetica'' is a tree in the family Meliaceae, commonly known as the Natal mahogany. It is an evergreen tree, with handsome glossy dark green leaves and a wide spreading crown.

Catuaba
The name Catuaba ( , via Portuguese from Guarani) is used for the infusions of the bark of a number of trees native to Brazil. The most widely used barks are derived from the trees '' Trichilia catigua'' and '' Erythroxylum vaccinifolium''. Other catuaba preparations use the bark of trees from the following genera or families: '' Anemopaegma'', '' Ilex'', '' Micropholis'', ''Phyllanthus'', '' Secondatia'', '' Tetragastris'' and species from the Myrtaceae. It is often claimed that catuaba is derived from the tree ''Erythroxylum catuaba'', but this tree has been described only once, in 1904, and it is not known today to what tree this name referred. ''E. catuaba'' is therefore not a recognised species (Kletter et al.; 2004). Local synonyms are Chuchuhuasha, Tatuaba, Pau de Reposta, Piratancara and Caramuru. A commercial liquid preparation, Catuama, contains multiple ingredients, one of these being catuaba from ''Trichilia catigua''. An infusion of the bark is used in traditional ...

Trichilia Dregeana
''Trichilia dregeana'', commonly known as the forest natal-mahogany, is a tree in the family Meliaceae. These trees are found in forest areas from the Eastern Cape of South Africa to Tropical Africa. Description The 7 to 11 leaflets of the large compound leaf have 7 to 12 lateral veins, typically less than the related Natal mahogany. The dehiscent Dehiscence is the splitting of a mature plant structure along a built-in line of weakness to release its contents. This is common among fruits, anthers and sporangia. Sometimes this involves the complete detachment of a part; structures that op ... fruit is reddish brown, spherical and about 3 cm in diameter. As with the Natal mahogany, each black seed is almost enveloped by a red aril.
