Moringa, known as the miracle tree, is a small, deciduous tree with sparse green foliage which can grow up to about 8m high. It grows naturally in most regions of Africa and is called by many names. (These include Ben-oil tree, Benzolive tree, Cabbage tree, Clarifier tree, Drumstick tree, Ewe-igbale, Horse-radish tree, Neverdie, Zogallagandi, Mlonge, Mronge, Mrongo, Mzunze, Nebedayo, Okwe oyibo, Rawag.)
