About

Ochrosia oppositifolia grows as a small to medium-sized tree up to 25 metres (82 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 50 centimetres (20 in). Its flowers feature a creamy to white corolla. Its habitat is coastal forest, bush or open areas to 100 metres (330 ft) altitude, rarely inland. Local medicinal uses include as a carminative and in high doses as an abortifacient. Ochrosia oppositifolia is native to regions from the Seychelles through tropical Asia to the Pacific. It is also known as the fruit-bat tree locally in the Seychelles.
