'''Sitaba'' is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 0.50 metres tall. It has edible, medicinal and miscellaneous uses. All parts of this plant are poisonous in large quantities. It should not be used at all by pregnant women since it can induce abortions. The sap contains furanocoumarins, sensitizing the skin to light and causing blistering or dermatitis in sensitive people.
