The bark, fruit, and leaves have many uses in local medicine for people and animals. Leaves and twigs are used for fever, colds, and as a laxative and eye lotion. Leaves are used for headaches (especially in children), angina, and as a poison antidote.

It appears as if the answer is no, at least in the english language. See the reference sources listed below.
Of course, I cannot be certain that these are exhaustive lists -- which is why I say it appears as if the answer is no.
If you expand the search to include plants with edible leaves, then the answer is yes, at least as far as the Latin names are concerned.

Fruits are the immediate method to obtain vitamins, proteins, and electrolytes, so over body may easily absorb them. Found in the case of veg some of the immediately eatable but some need to cooked well for enhance their taste.
