Unique ID: D032106
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D032106
Annotation: note FAGARA entry terms: FAGARA see RUTACEAE and FAGARA HORRIDA see GLEDITSIA are also available
Scope Note: A plant genus of the family RUTACEAE. Some members of Zanthoxylum are reclassified from ELEUTHEROCOCCUS, Melicope, and EVODIA. The twigs are used as dental brushing sticks (TOOTHBRUSHING). Most plants that are called Fagara have been reclassified as Zanthoxylum, however some Fagara were reclassified to MELICOPE (also in the Rutacea family) or to GLEDITSIA (a genus in the FABACEAE family).
