Its natural habitat ranges the hilly forest of Sierras Pampeanas. DescriptionThe coco, also cochucho or smelly sauco, is usually found either in isolated groups or standing alone, from a small to medium-sized tree, ranging 6 to 8 metres in height . The foliage is abundant, evergreen with imparipinnate leaves that present paired spines presumably in the place of leaflets. Punctations, in pairs, on the leaflets are quite distinctive. Leaves have serrated margins and pinnate venation. Flowers have five petals and are arranged in panicular inflorescences. The fruit is spherically shaped, dehiscent; containing a shiny blackish seed.[1] The whole plant has a characteristic unpleasant smell, hence the alternative name "smelly sauco".[2] BiochemistryEven though unused in general botanical pharmacopea, Zanthoxylum coco tissues are very rich in alkaloids. Fagarine, N-methylisocoridine, eskimminianine, α-fagarine, fagarine-2, magnoflorinne, nitidine, cheleritrinne, berberine, palmatine and candicine have been isolated from foliage and wood.[3] Taxon synonym usageThe coco belongs to the genus Zanthoxylum. However, most local scientific articles use Fagara as the genus name.
