Neolitsea parvigemma explained

Neolitsea parvigemma is a species of small to medium-sized tree in the family Lauraceae. It is endemic to Taiwan, and confined to the south central mountain regions of the island.[1] [2]

A number of chemicals from N. parvigemma show interesting biological properties. The hydrodistillated leaf essential oil of N. parvigemma has antifungal and anti-wood-decay fungal properties[3] Sesquiterpenes isolated from the stems have anti-inflammatory properties.[4]
