Taxon conflict: Some compilations list Ardisia pyramidalis and A. serrata as synonyms. POWO and Co's Digital Flora of the Philippines list them as separate species. (•) "Species of Philippine Ardisia Sw" (Magtoto, Buot 2020) lists Ardisia serrata and A. pyramidalis as separate species. (6) | |
Aunasin, as common name, is applied to both. |
Other vernacular names |
Malay: Aunasin, Rugrusu. |

List of Understudied Philippine Medicinal Plants |
New plant names needed The compilation now numbers over 1,300 medicinal plants. While I believe there are hundreds more that can be added to the collection, they are becoming more difficult to find. If you have a plant to suggest for inclusion, native or introduced, please email the info: scientific name (most helpful), local plant name (if known), any known folkloric medicinal use, and, if possible, a photo. Your help will be greatly appreciated. |
