Uncaria tomentosa (Willd) DC, (syn: cat's claw, una de gato), bark, cut, wild collection
History:
Hardly any other medicinal plant has experienced such a surge in demand in recent years as cat's claw. The root and bark of this vine have always been used as an important medicinal plant by the Ashancainkas, the indigenous people of the tropical Amazon region. Traditionally, the herb was used to treat arthritis, gastritis, cancer, digestive disorders, and infections.
In Peru, where the plant was rediscovered by immigrants in the early 1970s, it is called Uña de Gato, which translates as “cat's claw.” It gets its name from the sharp thorns on the underside of its paired leaves, which look like cat's claws.
Occurrence:
Cat's claw is found throughout the Amazon region from Bolivia, Brazil, and Peru to Colombia, Ecuador, Suriname, and Guyana to Panama and Puerto Rico. It prefers to grow on moist, shady soil in the natural rainforest, where the medicinal plants can reach a trunk diameter of up to 25 cm and a trunk length of up to 100 m. When cultivated, however, the plants usually remain small and bushy.
Plant family: Rubiaceae
Common names: Cat's Claw (English), Uña de Gato (Spanish), Griffe de Chat (French), Krallendorn, Katzendorn.

Ich suche aber die samen.
Man sollte die samen vertreiben, anstatt auf full-profit zu gehen.
