Lysiloma candidum, most commonly known as the palo blanco, is a tree of the family Fabaceae near-endemic to the Baja California Peninsula in Mexico.

The creamy-white, globose clusters of flowers bloom in March through May and perfume the air with a light, spicy fragrance.

Lysiloma candidum generally grows as a slender, straight, and dichotomously branched trunked tree up to 10 metres (33 ft) in height.

[1][2] The fruit is a pod, suspended on a short stipe, hanging gracefully off of the slender branches.
