Ravintsara, also known as Madagascar camphor tree or Cinnamomum camphora, belongs to the Lauraceae family. It's a beautiful wild tree that can grow up to 15 meters tall. It grows naturally in the humid regions of Madagascar, as well as on the islands of Reunion and Mauritius.
Ravintsara was mentioned by Flacourt and is now cultivated in large plantations in Madagascar. Its Malagasy name, which means "the good leaf," echoes the traditional local use of this plant for treating various conditions.
The evergreen leaves of ravintsara are alternate, lance-shaped and measure between 3 and 10 cm long. They are typical of the Lauraceae family. The small yellow or white flowers appear in October and November in Madagascar and cluster at the leaf axils. Ravintsara fruits are small berries that ripen between April and May. They are divided into six sections, each containing a seed. A ravintsara tree can produce about 100,000 seeds per year.
