Trichilia Trifolia
''Trichilia'' is a flowering plant genus in the 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. '' T. rubescens'' against malaria, '' T. tocacheana'' as a hallucinogen, and '' T. catigua'' in the aphrodisiac and stimulant catuaba. '' T. emetica'' wood, also known as Natal mahogany or Cape mahogany is the traditional material of choice for Mozambique's famous '' psikhelekedana'' 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 catigua'' * ''Trichilia chirriactensis'' * ''Trichilia columata'' Guardi * ''Trichilia discolor' ...

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. Its sweet-scented flowers attract bees and birds. Subspecies ''Trichilia emetica'' has two subspecies, ''emetica'' and ''suberosa''. ''T. emetica'' ssp. ''emetica'' is restricted to southern Africa, while ''suberosa'' occur northwards of the Zambezi River. Distribution These trees are found in riverine vegetation and open woodland from KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa to Tropical Africa. Description ''Trichilia emetica'' is an evergreen, medium to large tree, up to 25 m high, with separate male and female plants. It has a dense, spreading crown. Leaflets are dark glossy green above, tips more or less rounded or broadly pointed, lower surface sparsely to densely hairy with principal side veins in 11–18 closely spaced pairs.

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 Bra ...

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 Although tropical Africa is mostly familiar to the West for its rainforests, this biogeographic realm of Africa is far more diverse. While the tropics are thought of as regions with hot moist climates, which are caused by latitude and the trop .... 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 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.
