Libidibia coriaria

Libidibia coriaria, synonym Caesalpinia coriaria, is a leguminous tree or large shrub native to the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, and northern and western South America.

[2] Common names include divi-divi, cascalote, guaracabuya, guatapana, nacascol,[3] tan yong,[4] and watapana (Aruba).

L. coriaria rarely reaches its maximum height of 9 m (30 ft) because its growth is contorted by the trade winds that batter the exposed coastal sites where it often grows.

In other environments it grows into a low dome shape with a clear sub canopy space.

[citation needed] According to the FAO's Ecocrop database, the pods provide tannin and a black dye used in the tanning industry and for ink.
