Tylosema fassoglensis, commonly known as Creeping Bauhinia, is a perennial climber with slender stems and trifoliate leaves resembling butterfly wings. The plant bears yellow to orange pea-like flowers and forms elongated, flattened seedpods. It thrives in semi-arid savannas and woodland edges across regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Traditionally, Creeping Bauhinia has been valued for various healing applications. Its leaves, stems, and pods are rich in bioactive compounds including flavonoids and phenolics, which impart antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. These medicinal qualities have made it beneficial for supporting immune function, soothing mild inflammation, aiding healing of minor wounds, and improving digestive balance. The plant’s resilience and usefulness underscore its importance in local ethnomedicine.
