Beskrivning:

7mm blossoms from a panicle of the Lancewood tree. It's surprising that large trees can have such tiny flowers. The tree is called Lancewood because aboriginal Floridians used the very straight stems as spears. Torchwood is another name, referring to the large amount of oil in the wood making it useful as a light source. The genus has been changed from Ocotea to Nectandra and is a member of the laurel family. These grow to about 12 meters and are fairly common in Florida coastal hammocks, including Munyon Island.
