How to Get a Complete Workout with Nothing But Your Body Uncaria Indonesian Gambier (U. gambir) is a large tropical vine with leaves typical of the genus, being opposite and about 10 cm (3.9 in) long. The South American U. tomentosa is called Uña de Gato. Uncaria sinensis is common in China. Uncaria was named in 1789 by Johann von Schreber in his Genera Plantarum edition 8[a] (not to be confused with books of the same title by Linnaeus, Jussieu, and others).[4][5] The genus name is derived from the Latin word uncus, meaning "a hook".[6] It refers to the hooks, formed from reduced branches, that Uncaria vines use to cling to other vegetation. Description[edit] Woody lianas; climbing by hooks formed from reduced, modified branches. Species[edit] Uses[edit] Gambier (U. gambir) is used in Indonesia for chewing with areca and betel, for tanning, and for dyeing. U. rhynchophylla has also been shown to be a powerful MAO-B inhibitor.[10] References[edit] Jump up ^ Uncaria At: World Checklist of Rubiaceae At: Kew Gardens Website. External links[edit]
