More about this plant

Banara vanderbiltii is a rare species of plant in the willow family known by the common name Palo de Ramón. It originates from Puerto Rico in the hills of Rio Lajas, and the east peak of "Tetas de Cayey" mountains in Salinas, where there are fewer than 20 known individuals left in the wild. At the time it was listed as an endangered species of the United States in 1987, there were only six plants remaining. Wikipedia →
