Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Hymenaea(Greek, nuptial; in allusion to the paired lfts.). Leguminosae. Ten species of evergreen unarmed trees in Trop. Amer.: lvs. alternate, with 1 pair of coriaceous lfts.: fls. in short corymbose panicles; sepals 4; petals 5, generally oblong, scarcely longer than sepals; stamens 10, distinct; ovary short-stalked with few seeds: pod oblong to obovate, thick, often nearly cylindric, woody, indehiscent. The following species is the most important of the genus and occasionally cult, in tropical collections and in greenhouses of botanic gardens for its economic interest. Prop, is by cuttings in summer under glass with bottom heat or by seeds. It yields a fragrant amber-like resin known as courbaril, or American or West Indian copal; the heavy, close-grained and hard wood is used for wheelwork, tree-nails, beams and in various machinery; the sweetish acid pulp of the pods is eaten by the Indians.
