Thevetia Peruviana

Thevetia Peruviana
Merr.
Trumpet flower (E); Amancay (P); Cabalonga (C); Campanilla (P); Castaneto (C) . The black pulp of the fruit is said to be eaten in Ghana. The poisonous seeds are used in necklaces. If chewed they tend to act as an anesthetic. The wood is used as a fish poison. Cotton soaked in the latex is used to aid toothache. The bark is emetic, febrifugal, and purgative. Thevetia nitida, Colombia's tomate del diablo, is also said to have an edible fruit. This may be the campanillo used as a narcotic by the Choco.
