Trichodesma zeylanicum

Trichodesma zeylanicum is usually an annual plant, but can become perennial and somewhat shrubby. The much-branched stems are usually woody, at least at the base, and grow up to 150cm tall from a taproot. The plant is sometimes harvested from the wild as a local source of food and medicines. The seed oil/flower essence is traded on the international market under the name of ‘wild borage oil’. The main producer is Australia and the main market is western Europe. Quantities and value of the trade are unknown.
