Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Stachytarpheta jamaicensis is a species of plant in the family Verbenaceae, native to the Caribbean, including Florida. It is commonly found along country roadsides and on disturbed terrain. It is sometimes mistaken for Stachytarpheta cayennensis, an invasive species in Florida, and it is unclear whether S. indica is a separate species. The fresh leaves of this plant are consumed as a tea for medicinal purposes, such as to treat asthma and ulcerated stomachs. Studies have shown that the tea can cause a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure in rabbits, but also mild systemic toxicity in various tissues.
