Systematic and Phytochemical Studies of Quassia indica (Gaertn.) Nooteboom of Sarawak

Quassia indica (Gaertn.) Nooteboom is classified under the family Simaroubaceae. Species from Simaroubaceae are known to contain chemical compounds such as quassinoids due to its bitter taste. This project was mainly focused on the systematic studies of the morphological, wood anatomical, leaf epide...
