Jatropha integerrima (Jacq.) is cultivated widely as an ornamental street tree and hedge shrub in tropical and subtropical regions (Popenoe, 1974; Liogier, 1990). There is no direct, verifiable documentation of its use in infusions, decoctions, tinctures, macerations, or poultices in the ethnobotanical literature reviewed for this species. Occasional references to “Jatropha” in ethnobotanical records generally refer to other taxa (for example Jatropha curcas) and do not concern J. integerrima (Bennett et al., 2021; van Andel & Havinga, 2008). As a result, no reliable evidence supports traditional tea, tincture, or poultice preparations of J. integerrima.
