Tabernaemontana rupicola is a species of plant in the family Apocynaceae.[2]
The species is a plant native to Brazil, with confirmed occurrences in the northern states (Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, and Roraima), within the Amazonian phytogeographic domain. It predominantly inhabits igapó and várzea forests, adapting to the floodable environments characteristic of this region. This is a widely distributed species with a range extending to parts of Venezuela, Colombia, Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname.[1][3]
Alkaloids
Rupicoline (Voaluteine) & Montanine (A) are two alkaloids present in the leaves of Tabernaemontana rupicola.[4]
