Mitragyna Rotundifolia

What is Mitragyna Rotundifolia?

Mitragyna Rotundifolia is a species within the genus Mitragyna, belonging to the family Rubiaceae. The tree is native to South and Southeast Asia, with documented distribution in India, Thailand, Myanmar, and parts of Indochina. It primarily grows in tropical lowland forests, wetlands, and open forest edges. The species is known for its broad, almost circular leaves and its adaptability to various environmental conditions.

Mitragyna Rotundifolia is considered a botanically interesting plant and has received increased attention in ethnobotanical and systematic research in recent years. Due to its similarity to other species within the same genus, it is sometimes viewed as a plant-based alternative to kratom, although it does not contain mitragynine.
