Lysiloma latisiliquum, commonly known as false tamarind or wild tamarind, is a species of tree in the family Fabaceae, that is native to southern Florida in the United States, the Bahamas, Cuba, southern Mexico, and Belize.[1] Its wood is sometimes traded as sabicu wood. The tannin-rich leaves have anti-parasitic properties, and are eaten by sheep as an adaptation to alleviate nematode infections.[2]
