Centronia excelsa

Centronia excelsa, also known as the 'tunbunche' or 'mora', is a species of flowering plant in the family Melastomataceae.

It is a shrub or small tree native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, particularly in Colombia and Peru.

The plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to treat fever, inflammation, and respiratory issues due to its antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties.

The plant can be used in herbal preparations such as teas, infusions, and tinctures, which can help to alleviate symptoms of colds, flu, and other respiratory infections, as well as provide relief from pain and reduce inflammation.
