In Thrissur, India

Ichnocarpus frutescens is a species of flowering plant in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, known by the English common name black creeper.[1] It is native to much of China, India, Southeast Asia, and northern Australia.[2][3]

It is a woody shrub with lianas sprawling to Шаблон:Convert in maximum length and Шаблон:Convert in diameter. The bark produces a creamy white sap. The leaves are up to Шаблон:Convert long by Шаблон:Convert wide. The inflorescence is a head of several flowers. Each flower has a calyx of densely hairy sepals and a five lobed corolla just under a centimeter long. The fruit is a follicle which may be over Шаблон:Convert long. The roots may be reddish or purple. The plant is sold in markets in some areas in India.[4]

Uses

The plant has a large number of traditional medicinal uses, including for rheumatism, asthma, cholera, and fever.[5] Some in vitro and rodent studies have suggested that extracts of the plant may inhibit tumors,[6] protect liver cells from damage in acetaminophen overdose,[7] and reduces complications of hyperlipidemia in diabetic rats.[8] There have been no published studies testing any of these effects in humans.

The fibrous bark is used to make rope.[3]
