Ziziphus cambodianus is a thorny shrub, or vine, some 2-6m tall, of secondary undergrowth communities in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam[3][2][4], and possibly northern Thailand. It has been identified as a riparian species growing along the Phra Prong River in Watthana Nakhon District, Sa Kaeo Province and flowering in June[5], and in Chiang Mai Province[6] in Thailand. In Mixed Deciduous Forest of Laos, the shrub becomes more common after logging, and to a lesser extent after shifting cultivation.[7]
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[8], 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, Siem Reap Province, northwestern Cambodia, living on the plateau of Phnom Kulen National Park, parts of the shrub are used in their ethnomedicine.[8] 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]
The Bunong people of Mondulkiri Province, northeastern Cambodia, have a number of traditional medicine treatments that involve the shrub.[9] The fruits are eaten or are decocted and drunk alone or in a mixture with bark, root and wood of Cananga latifolia, whole plant of Hydnophytum formicarum, roots from various Leea species and Uraria crinita or U. lagopodiodes and bark of Vachellia harmandiana to treat stomachache. To treat diarrhoea, a decotion of bark, fruit and wood of Z. cambodianus is drunk. The leaves and wood of this plant together with those of Taxillus chinensis are decocted and drunk to treat cough. Leucorrhoea is treated with a decocted mix of the bark and wood of Amphineurion marginatum, C. latifolia, Harrisonia perforata, Polyalthia cerasoides , Uvaria rufa, Z cambodiana, and Ziziphus oenoplia, the leaves and wood of Hoya kerrii and roots of Leea species and Oroxylum indicum. A decotion of the roots of Z. cambodiana is drunk to treat food intolerance post-partum.
In northern Thailand, the plant has been identified as being used by Karen people of Chiang Mai Province, in order to treat gastric ulcers.[6]
Anti-malarial compounds have been identified in extracts from the bark.[10]
