Quassia ( or ) is a flora genus in the family Simaroubaceae. Its size is disputed; some botanists treat it as consisting of only one species, Quassia amara from tropical South America, while others treat it in a wide circumscription as a pantropical genus containing up to 40 species of trees and shrubs. The genus was named after a former slave from Surinam, Graman Quassi in the eighteenth century. He discovered the medicinal properties of the bark of Quassia amara. * Broader treatments of the genus include the following and other species:* Quassia africana * Quassia amara * Quassia arnhemensis - Australia * Quassia bidwillii * Quassia indica * Quassia sp. 'Moonee Creek' - Australia * Quassia sp. 'Mount Nardi' - Australia * Quassia sanguinea * Quassia silvestris * Quassia undulataIt is the source of the quassinoids quassin and neo-quassin. * * |
