What Elijah says
Jamaica, West Africa, Amazon · Bush Doctor
“Soursop (Annona muricata, graviola, guanabana, corossol). Native to the tropical Americas, now grown in West Africa too, where the leaves are used for coughs, pain, skin, pressure and sugar. One of Jamaica's 25 most popular plants.”
“Guinea hen weed = Petiveria alliacea = anamu = mucura. Soursop = Annona muricata = graviola = guanabana. Bissy = kola nut (Cola nitida, Cola acuminata). The capsule with the foreign name is the yard bush.”
