Garcinia kola Heckel - Clusiaceae - bitter-kola, false cola
Evergreen tree, about 15m high; native to the rain forests of West Africa (Cameroon to Angola); seeds brown, smooth elliptically shaped, pulp yellow.
„The fruit, seeds, nuts and bark of the plant have been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat ailments from coughs to fever.“ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcinia_kola
„Topical Garcinia kola 0.5% aqueous eye drops are as effective as timolol maleate 0.5% eye drops in lowering IOP in newly diagnosed glaucoma and ocular hypertensive patients. The mean IOP reducing efficacy after six months of use was similar in both groups. Garcinia kola extract may represent an alternate topical medication for patient with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertensives in a resource limited population.“
