Die Kinaboom (Rauvolfia caffra) is 'n klein tot middelslag boom. Die boom kom voor noord van Oos-Londen tot in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, en Limpopo. Hulle word altyd naby water gevind aan stroom-oewers. In Engels staan die boom bekend as die Quinine-tree.
Die blare word in kranse van drie tot vyf gedra en die blaarrande neig om met die blaarsteel saam te smelt.
Die vrugte word in pare on enkel gedra en is vlesig, ongeveer 13 cm in deursnee. Die vrugte word swart en verrimpel wanneer hulle ryp is.
Die sap van die boom is melkerig, dun en bitter. Dit was voorheen teem malaria gebruik maar word tans as ondoeltreffend beskou. Die wortelbas bevat reserpien wat as kalmeermiddel gebruik word en ook teen hoë bloeddruk.
