Stillingia is a plant genus of the family Euphorbiaceae, first described for modern science as a genus in 1767.[2] The genus is native to Latin America, the southern United States, and various islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.[1][3][4][5][6] Toothleaf is a common name for plants in this genus.[7]
Medical use
Stillingia sylvatica was used by Native Americans for syphilis and as a cathartic, diuretic, laxative, and emetic.[8] In large doses, it causes vomiting and diarrhea.
