👉 Urotropis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, native to South America and parts of Africa. They are known for their large flowers that cover entire stems, often reaching up to 10 feet (3 meters) high. The leaves are opposite, with one leaf on each side, and the fruit is a capsule enclosed within a capsule-like structure. Urotropis plants are commonly used in traditional medicine as a source of medicinal compounds.
