Hymenaea courbaril is commonly called Jatoba. The roots and trunk yield a gum known as 'South American copal'. The gum forms hard lumps that become buried in the soil at the base of a tree. This gum has a multitude of uses, including as a varnish,  but also for incense and local medicines. Traditionally Jatoba was used in local folk medicine as a cure-all, being especially useful for coughs. Indians in the Amazon also used the resin in magic rituals, love potions and in wedding ceremonies.

Other names: Hymenaea courbaril
