Ziziphus cambodianus is a thorny shrub, or vine, some 2-6m tall, of secondary undergrowth communities in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.[3][2][4]
Vernacular names
Common Khmer names for the plant include ângkrâ:ng (="red ant", an allusion to the nests of ants in its branches)[3], អដន្ទកគង[5], vor angkrong (vor=a term applied to vines)[4], អង្គ្រង, or angkrong.
Uses
The wood is used to make charcoal in Cambodia, and a decoction of the bark is used in traditional medicine to treat ovarian diseases and yeast infections.[3] Amongst villagers in Svay Leu District, living on the plateau of Phnom Kulen National Park, parts of the shrub are used in their ethnomedicine.[5] The wood chips are decocted alone to treat stomach ache, they are also combined with the vine Willughbeia edulis and wood chips from Cananga latifolia in a decoction to treat stomach ache, circulation problems and/or to increase appetite. In order to help in pregnancy, a decoction of Z. cambodianus bark and a unidentified vine known as trolaing piən is drunk. Amongst Kuy- and Khmer-speaking people living in the same villages in Stung Treng and Preah Vihear provinces of north-central Cambodia, the plant is used as a source of medicine, for social use (i.e. "plants used for cultural purposes, which are not definable as food or medicines. This category includes stimulants, and plants used for games [modified according to local beliefs]"), and for material to make things (unspecified).[4]
Anti-malarial compounds have been identified in extracts from the bark.[6]
