Eysenhardtia polystachya
Eysenhardtia polystachya is a much-branched, deciduous shrub or small tree usually growing 1.5 - 5 metres tall, occasionally reaching 7 metres. This species has long been highly valued in Mexico for the medicinal properties of its wood, to which is ascribed an almost miraculous ability to cure kidney and bladder ailments. Eysenhardtia polystachya is native to the subtropical and tropical regions of Mexico.
