Tetradenia riparia is a species of flowering plant native to southern Africa. It belongs in the mint and sage family Lamiaceae.[1] It is occasionally referred to as misty plume bush and is commonly used as a decorative garden plant due to its flowers when in full bloom.[2] Tetradenia means 'four glands' and riparia translates to 'growing on banks of rivers'. This species was first described by botanists (Hochst.) Codd in 1983. It is also known as ginger bush, Ibozane and musk bush.
It is a shrub that grows up to 2m high, occasionally reaching 5m. The foliage is sticky and smells pleasantly aromatic. The plant is deciduous and multi-stemmed while the branches are semi-succulent. The leaves are simple, large, heart-shaped and opposite. They are also coarsely toothed, thick-haired and sticky, and are 35–80 mm long. Leaves that are crushed have a ginger scent. Both sides are covered with a thin dark red lint.
The inflorescences are branched, large bunches at the ends of the shoots. About three millimeters in diameter and would appear in veins, the flowers range in color from white to lilac, and pink flowers are also found. Male flower spikes have more of the "mist" effect than the female flowers which tend to be more compact. Flowering occurs only in subtropical or temperate climates in wintertime (June–August) when the plant is bare, in the top section of the branches, coinciding with the frost.[3]
It grows on the banks of rivers and hillsides. It is found in eastern South Africa in the provinces of KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Limpopo, Namibia, Angola and Botswana and in eastern tropical Africa.
It is commonly planted in gardens as an ornamental because of its abundant decorative flowering. Fast growing (up to 80 cm per year), the plant will flower in its first year and would prefer occasional watering in summer, though less so in winter.
This shrub is considered a medicinal plant. The essential oil of its leaves feature antimalarial contents. It is one of Rwanda's most popular herbal remedies and has been used throughout its range to treat cough, malaria, diarrhea, dengue fever, headaches (inhaling the leaves scent), toothache and some other ailments. The herb used is fresh or dried leaves and young shoots. Herbs are usually collected as needed, as they tend to black out and dry poorly. Laboratory studies have shown that the herb contains ingredients that actually moderate the malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasite. An extract from the leaves has been found to inhibit bacterial growth.[4]

Myskiyrtti (Tetradenia riparia) on afrikkalainen tuoksuva pensas tai pieni puu.[2]
Myskiyrtti kasvaa noin kolme metriä korkeaksi. Sen nuoret versot ovat mehikasvej a muistuttavia, lehvästö on tahmea ja tuoksuu miellyttävän aromaattiselta. Lehdet ovat kirkkaanvihreitä, kapean sydämenmuotoisia ja 35-80 mm pitkiä. Niiden molempia puolia peittää ohut tummanpunainen nukka. Kukinnot ovat versojen päissä olevia haaraisia, isokokoisa terttuja. Halkaisijaltaan noin kolme millisten kukkien väri vaihtelee valkoisesta violettiin, myös vaaleanpunaisia kukkia tavataan.[3][1]
Myskiyrtti kasvaa joenvarsilla ja kukkuloiden rinteillä. Sitä tavataan Etelä-Afrikan itäosissa KwaZulu-Natalin, Mpumalangan ja Limpopon provinsseissa, Namibiassa, Angolassa ja Botswanassa sekä trooppisen Afrikan itäosassa.[1]
Myskiyrtti kuuluu Ruandan suosituimpiin rohdoskasveihin, ja sitä on käytetty koko esiintymisalueellaan yskäm, malarian, ripulin, vatsatautien denguekuumee, päänsäryn, hammassäryn ja joidenkin muidenkin vaivojen hoitoon. Rohdoksena käytetään tuoreita tai kuivattuja lehtiä ja nuoria versoja. Yrttiä kerätään yleensä tarpeen mukaan, sillä se mustuu herkästi ja kuivuu huonosti. Laboratoriotutkimuksissa on osoitettu, että yrtissä on ainesosia jotka todella torjuvat malariaa aiheuttavaa Plasmodium falciparum -loiseliötä kohtalaisesti. Lehdistä tehdyn uutteen on todettu estävän bakteerien kasvua.[4][1]

Tetradenia riparia est une espèce arbustive du genre Tetradenia (famille des Lamiaceae). Il est parfois appelé Iboza en zoulou dans sa région d'origine[2], faux patchouli en français, "Ginger bush", ou "Misty Plume Bush" en anglais, et "mirra" ou "pau-de-incenso" au Brésil, en raison de l'odeur de son feuillage rappelant le patchouli.
Il est couramment planté dans les jardins comme ornementale en raison de son abondante floraison décorative[3]. La floraison n'a lieu que sous les climats subtropicaux ou tempérés.
Cet arbuste est considéré comme une plante médicinale. L'huile essentielle de ses feuilles de Tetradenia riparia présente des activités antipaludiques[4].
