Fever tree
Afrikaans

Die Koorsboom het ‘n opvallende geelgroen bas en groei in vleilande. Dit kry sy naam van die bygeloof dat dit malaria veroorsaak, hoewel dit eintlik in gebiede groei waar muskiete algemeen voorkom. Interessante feit: Die bas van die Koorsboom bevat tannien wat in tradisionele medisyne gebruik word.
