Celastrus paniculatus is a woody liana commonly known as black oil plant, climbing staff tree, and intellect tree (Sanskrit: jyotishmati ज्योतीष्मती, Hindi: Mal-kangani माल-कांगनी, Chinese: deng you teng 灯油藤).[1][2][3] The plant grows throughout India at elevations up to 1,800 m (5,900 ft).[1][4]
C. paniculatus is a deciduous vine with stems up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter and 6 m (20 ft) long with rough, pale brown exfoliating bark covered densely with small, elongated lenticles. The leaves are simple, broad, and oval, obovate or elliptic in shape, with toothed margins.[1][2] C. paniculatus is a climbing shrub found throughout India.
Traditional medicine
Oil from the seeds is used as a traditional medicine in Indian Unani and Ayurvedic medicine.[1][5]
Poisonous relative
Celastrus paniculatus has a relative that grows in the United States that is poisonous,[specify] so it is important to identify this plant carefully.
