The picture above is herb discerned as bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina). It is a shrub or insignificant plant that can attain 23 feet in length when completely developed.

Bitter leaf retains a grey or brown coloured bark, which has a jagged texture and is flaked. The herb is one of the most popular indigenous African plant; which thrives in most parts of sub-Saharan Africa.

The East African country of Tanzania is traditionally connected to this plant and can be found prospering wild along the edges of agricultural fields.

It is a medicinal plant and fresh bitter leaf is of great significance in human nourishment because of the presence of chemicals like vitamins and mineral salts contain in it.
