Leucadendron argenteum
Endangered South African silver-leaved tree historically used by Cape Malay traditional healers.
Leucadendron argenteum, the silver tree, is an endangered South African species traditionally used in Cape Malay medicine for respiratory conditions and wound healing. Its leaves contain flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic compounds that contribute to antimicrobial and astringent properties. Due to its endangered status, wild harvesting is prohibited, and any use should rely on cultivated sources.
The antimicrobial activity is attributed to phenolic compounds and tannins that disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit enzyme function. Flavonoids provide antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions, while tannins promote wound healing through astringent action that reduces exudate and forms a protective barrier. These compounds may also modulate inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB, though specific receptor interactions remain uncharacterized.
