Maytenus robusta,^[2] known in Brazil as cafezinho do mato or coração de bugre) is a species of plant in the family Celastraceae. It is endemic to Brazil.

M. Robusta is used in folk medicine to treat gastric ulcers.^[3]^[4]^[5] One study found that M. robusta has ulcer healing properties, mainly through the strengthening of protective factors of the gastric mucosa, such as mucus layer, antioxidant defenses and cell proliferation.^[6]
