Amblysperma spathulata

Amblysperma spathulata, a species of plant in the family Menispermaceae, is also known as the "Australian Moonseed".

The plant is known to possess medicinal properties due to its alkaloid content, particularly a compound called tubocurarine, which is used in medicine as a muscle relaxant.

The health benefits of Amblysperma spathulata include its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, although more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Traditionally, the plant was used to prepare herbal remedies, including infusions and tinctures, although modern herbal preparations are not commonly available due to the plant's toxicity and potential side effects.
