Catharanthus lanceus, also known as "lance-leaf periwinkle", is a perennial herb that can grow up to 1 metre tall. It produces fragrant flowers that range in color from white or cream to pink, reddish-violet, or pink-magenta. This plant is typically found in volcanic or burned soil, on hillside rocks, and in open woodland on ridges at altitudes between 750-2,000 metres. It is native to Madagascar and is commonly used in traditional medicine to treat toothaches, fevers, skin diseases, and as a diuretic.
