The Herborist label names the plant and the form, powder; the supplier listing linked to this product gives seed as the plant part and Brazil as the country of origin.

From Sterculia to Cola
Ventenat first described the species in 1805 as Sterculia nitida, in his illustrated work on the plants of the Jardin de la Malmaison. In 1832 Schott and Endlicher placed it in the genus Cola in Meletemata Botanica, which gives the name in use today. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP), compiled by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, accepts Cola nitida in the Malvaceae and lists names such as Cola vera and Cola astrophora as synonyms. The plant checklist of the Democratic Republic of the Congo records it as a tree.
Native range
WCVP sums up the native range as West and west-central tropical Africa. Its list runs from Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mali and Ivory Coast through Ghana, Togo, Benin and Nigeria to Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the islands of the Gulf of Guinea. The species is recorded as introduced in Guinea-Bissau, the Central African Republic, the Comoros, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Trinidad and Tobago, the Dominican Republic and the Windward Islands. Brazil appears on neither list, so the Brazilian origin of this powder rests on the supplier listing alone.
Kola in another format
Besides this powder, the shop lists a kola nut seed tincture made from the same species.
