Tragia tenuifolia
=== ''Tragia tenuifolia'' ===
''[[Tragia tenuifolia]]'' Benth. occurs from West Africa east to Sudan and Rwanda and also in Zimbabwe. In Sierra Leone a poultice of the leaves is rubbed on the abdomen of a pregnant woman to induce foetal movement and a leaf infusion is drunk against threatening abortion.
 
Several other ''Tragia'' species from East and southern Africa also have documented medicinal uses.
