Biological and phytochemical review on the genus Coccoloba (Polygonaceae)
Polygonaceae is one of the largest medicinal plant families, vastly distributed worldwide, containing around 1,200 species from 48 genera. Most of the species are located in the northern temperate region, while the other species are allocated from the tropics to the arctic. The prime genera in Polyg...
