Vitex doniana

It grows to 4–8 metres (13–26 ft), and rarely up to 15 metres (49 ft). Its fruits are at most 2.5 centimetres (31⁄32 in) in length.^[2] V. doniana is found at altitudes of 0–1,800 metres (0–5,906 ft)^[2] in Ethiopia, Nigeria, Eswatini, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.^[3] The insect Rastrococcus invadens is a pest to this plant.^[3]

V. doniana is known as plem in Ethiopia, uchakoro in Nigeria, mfudu and mfuu in Eswatini, mfuu in Tanzania, munyamazi and yuelo in Uganda and kashilumbalu in Zambia.^[3]

V. doniana is one of the few plants notable for its phytoecdysteroid content, Ochieng et al. 2013 finding it is one of the few with more than 0.001% by dry weight.^[4] Specifically they find 21-hydroxyshidasterone, 11b-hydroxy-20-deoxyshidasterone and 2,3-acetonide-24-hydroxyecdysone.^[5]
