- Comment This tree is one of two species which yield the valuable Lignum vitae wood, the other being Guaiacum officinale. This small tree is slow growing, reaching about 7 m (23 ft) in height with a trunk diameter of 50 cm (20 in). The tree is essentially evergreen throughout most of its native range. The leaves are compound, 2.5–3 cm (0.98–1.2 in) in length, and 2 cm (0.79 in) wide. The blue flowers have five petals which yield a yellow fruit with red flesh and black seeds.It should not be confused with Guaiacum officinale, dealt with separately under IATE:3515760 .
