peer agreement (net): +1la vera = Guaiacum sanctum = Lignum vitae / Bastard lignum-vitae Explanation: The bastard lignum-vitae (Guaiacum sanctum) is a member of the family Zygophyllaceae. HTH Sheila Guaiacum is a genus in the family Zygophyllaceae. The six species are shrubs and trees, native to subtropical and tropical regions of the Americas. The trees are grown in Florida and California as ornamental plants. The trees grow slowly and can reach a height of approximately 20 m, though it is usually less than half that. They also yield guajacum, a gum resin used in certain drugs. The resin has been used to treat a variety of medicinal conditions from coughs to arthritis. Wood chips can also be used to brew a tea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaiacum The Zygophyllaceae, of about 250 species, are a family of flowering plants, also known as the bean-caper or caltrop family. According to the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG II), the heterogeneous family Zygophyllaceae is unplaced to order, but included in the Eurosids I as a sister to a clade composed of several orders. The name Zygophyllales can be used if one finds it appropriate to place the family Zygophyllaceae into an order. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygophyllaceae Zygophyllaceae APÉNDICE II Guaiacum sanctum L.

Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 Introduction Lignumvitae is an extremely slow-growing broadleaf evergreen which ultimately reaches 30 to 40 feet in height and casts light shade, but few people have seen plants of this size because it is not grown in the trade. Most are seen 8 to 12 feet tall with a beautiful array of multiple trunks and a rounded canopy much like that of a mature Crape-Myrtle. The one to two-inch-long, leathery, dark green leaves are joined at many times throughout the year by the production of large clusters of deep blue flowers, the old flowers fading to a light silvery-blue and creating a shimmering haze over the rounded canopy. These flowers are followed by small, heart-shaped, yellow berries, appearing on the tree at the same time as the blue flowers and creating a lovely sight. Figure 1.
