Botanical Name : Croton stellatopilosus Ohba.

Plaunoi  is one of Thai medicinal plants, used traditionally for curing digestive tract ailments, and also as an anthelmintic and dematologic agent. 

Growing : Plaunoi for commercial production of Plaunotol had been done in Thailand, but the medicinal product was not widely available due to limited supply.  This article aims to provide general information about growing Plaunoi trees in small to medium scale growing fields, for local consumption as an alternative medicine.  Industrial-size plantations; however, require additional proper managements that are suitable for each location.
