Mitragyna parvifolia is a tree species native to India and Sri Lanka, reaching heights of 50 feet with a branch spread of 15 feet. Its leaves and stem bark have been traditionally used by various tribes for medicinal purposes, such as treating jaundice, pain, and fever. The tree also has religious significance, being associated with Lord Krishna in Vrindavana. Phytochemical analysis has revealed the presence of various alkaloids in M. parvifolia, making it a valuable plant for its medicinal properties. Additionally, the caterpillars of a butterfly species use this tree as a food source.
