“…The subsp. paniculata is characterized by entire leaflet margins, confined to the southern Karoo, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Northern Cape, and Western Cape provinces of South Africa at an altitude ranging from 300 m to 2000 m above the sea level [41,64]. The subsp.…”

“…The subsp. sinuata is characterized by shallowly to deep lobed and waxy (sinuate) leaflet margins and widely distributed and recorded in Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, the Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and North West provinces of South Africa at an altitude ranging from 900 m to 1980 m above the sea level [41,64]. However, most ethnobotanical and ethnopharmacological literature do not separate C. paniculata into specific subspecies but rather to C. paniculata sensu lato, and this is the approach that has been adopted in this study.…”

“…C. paniculata is an evergreen small tree with a sturdy trunk which is sparsely branched, rarely exceeding 5 m in height [41,63,[65][66][67][68]. The stem is reddish gray to gray, rough, corky, swollen at the base and roughly 3.5 cm in diameter, the branches marked with prominent leaf scars as the species usually sheds old leaves while new flush of leaves are being produced.…”

“…The fruits are fleshy, almost globose in shape, pale purplish in color, and closely clustered along the spikes. C. paniculata has been recorded in Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland [41,63,[66][67][68] in bushveld, wooded grassland, usually in rocky places at an altitude ranging from 300 m to 2000 m above the sea level [64].…”

“…The genus Cussonia Thunb. comprises about 22 species which are mainly trees or shrubs or occasionally subshrubs recorded in grasslands, woodlands, and forests of sub-Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula (Yemen), and the Comoro Islands [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. C. paniculata is widely used as a decorative and ornamental plant, as the species is frost-resistant and therefore recommended for rockeries, bonsai, and other gardens [42,[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Cussonia paniculata is a small tree widely used as herbal medicine throughout its distributional range in southern Africa. This study is aimed at providing a critical review of the botany, biological activities, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of C. paniculata. Documented information on the botany, biological activities, medicinal uses, and phytochemistry of C. paniculata was collected from several online sources which included BMC, Scopus, SciFinder, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier, PubMed, and Web of Science. Additional information on the botany, biological activities, phytochemistry, and medicinal uses of C. paniculata was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as book chapters, books, journal articles, and scientific publications sourced from the University library. This study showed that the bark, fruits, leaves, roots, and stems of C. paniculata are used as emetic, immune booster, and herbal medicine for dysmenorrhea, intestinal parasites and worms, mental problems, boils, shingles and skin diseases, indigestion and stomach complaints, sores, and wounds. Phytochemical compounds identified from the leaves of C. paniculata include acetylated triterpene glycosides, unacetylated triterpene glycosides, flavonoid, steroidal saponin, and triterpenoid saponins. Pharmacological research revealed that C. paniculata extracts have analgesic, antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiplasmodial, antiprotozoan, Aβ42 protein reduction, and cytotoxicity activities. Future research should focus on evaluating the phytochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological properties of C. paniculata crude extracts as well as compounds isolated from the species.

Cussonia spicata is an evergreen tree widely used as herbal medicine throughout its distributional range in tropical Africa. The current study is aimed at providing a critical review of the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and evaluation of the medicinal potential of C. spicata. Documented information on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and medicinal applications of C. spicata was collected from several online sources which included BMC, Scopus, SciFinder, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Elsevier, PubMed, and Web of Science. Additional information on the phytochemistry, pharmacology, and medicinal applications of C. spicata was gathered from pre-electronic sources such as book chapters, books, journal articles, and scientific publications sourced from the University library. This study showed that the bark, flowers, flower stalks, fruits, leaves, roots, root bark, and stems of C. spicata are used as antifebrile and emetic and herbal medicine for fever, nausea, vomiting, gonorrhea, venereal diseases, malaria, and mental illness. Phytochemical compounds identified from the leaves, root bark, stems, and stem bark of C. spicata include alkaloids, anthocyanins, anthracene glycosides, botulin, condensed tannins, free gallic acid, gallotannins, iridoids, pentacyclic triterpenoids, saponins, steroids, tannins, flavonoids, phenolics, triterpenoids, and volatile oils. Pharmacological research revealed that C. spicata crude extracts and compounds have acetylcholinesterase, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antileishmanial, antiplasmodial, antiprotozoan, antioxidant, larvicidal, molluscicidal, spermicidal, and cytotoxicity activities. Future research should focus on evaluating the phytochemical, pharmacological, and toxicological properties of C. spicata crude extracts as well as compounds isolated from the species.
