Bahama Strongbark (Bourreria succulenta) Tree

Bahama Strongbark (Bourreria succulenta) Tree

The name of this tree is apparently a corruption of its Bahamian name, "strongback". Tea made from the bark reportedly has vivifying benefits, and is recommended by Habamian women to revive their "tired" men.
