Stixis obtusifolia is a shrub or liana in the Resedaceae family. It is found in parts of Southeast Asia. The wood is used as fuel, the leaves as a tea.
This species grows as a deciduous shrub or liana. [2] [3] It has silvery stems and branches. Leaves are simple, the adult leaves are glabrous, though occasionally with a few hairs on the nerves. [4] The gynophore is shorter than 5mm and hairy, the ovary is glabrous.
Flowering occurs from November to March, fruiting from January to April. [3]
This Southeast Asian species grows in the following countries: Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar. [1]
The plant grows in degraded formations. [2]
In the vegetation communities alongside the Mekong in Kratie and Steung Treng Provinces, Cambodia, this taxa is rare in the degraded areas of the riverine community. [3] It grows on soils derived from metamorphic sandstone bedrock, at 20-25m altitude.
Aw krâpë (av kraboe, ao krâpoeu) (aw="skin", krâpë="crocodile", Khmer) is a name used in Cambodia. [2] [5]
The wood furnishes firewood. [2] The leaves can give a tea-like drink
Henri Ernest Baillon (1827–95), a French botanist and physician, described the species in 1887 in the journal Bulletin Mensuel de la Société Linnéenne de Paris (Paris). [6]
