  1. bitterwood tree

    A bitterwood tree is a type of medicinal tree that belongs to the Simaroubaceae family. These trees are often characterized by their distinctly bitter-tasting bark, leaves, or seeds, which contain the chemical quassin, a potent anti-parasitic agent. They're typically found in tropical regions, such as Central and South America, Asia and Africa. Notable examples include Quassia amara and Picrasma excelsa. The bark, leaves, and seeds are commonly used in traditional medicine due to their anthelmintic, insecticidal, and antimalarial properties. However, the name 'bitterwood' can refer to several different tree species, all of which are known for their bitter properties.
