[[File:Black Locust Leaf Close Up.jpg|thumb|right|''Robinia pseudoacacia'']]
'''Robinia pseudoacacia''', commonly known in its native territory as '''black locust''',<ref name="int"/> is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States, but it has been widely planted and naturalized elsewhere in temperate North America, Europe, Southern Africa<ref name="int2"/> and Asia and is considered an invasive species in some areas. Another common name is false acacia, a literal translation of the specific name (pseudo meaning fake or false and acacia referring to the genus of plants with the same name.) It was introduced into Britain in 1636. ==Uses=={{Uses|Tentex forte}}, {{Uses|Muscle & Joint Rub}}, {{Uses|Impotency & Erectile dysfunction}}, {{Uses|Diarrhoea}}, {{Uses|Pharyngitis & Sore Throat}}, {{Uses|Toothache}}, {{Uses|Pyorrhea}}, {{Uses|Common Cold}}, {{Uses|Childhood apraxia of speech}}, {{Uses|Delayed Speech Development}}. ==Parts Used=={{Parts Used|Dried Roots}}, {{Parts Used|Leaves}}, {{Parts Used|Flower}}. ==Chemical Composition==Pioglitazone (PubChem CID: 4829)Magnolol (PubChem CID: 72300)Honokiol (PubChem CID: 72303)Falcarindiol (PubChem CID: 5281148)Resveratrol (PubChem CID: 445154)Amorfrutin 1 (PubChem CID: 10132170)Rosiglitazone (PubChem CID: 77999)Quercetin (PubChem CID: 5280343)(−)-Catechin (PubChem CID: 73160)Linolenic acid (PubChem CID: 5280934)<ref name="chemical composition"/>
