Zanthoxylum flavum

Zanthoxylum flavum is a medium-sized tree in the family Rutaceae. Common names include noyer,[3] West Indian satinwood, yellow sanders, tembetaria, and yellow sandalwood. It is native to Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Florida Keys, exclusive of Key West where it has been extirpated.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss and harvesting for its dense, durable wood used in fine woodworking.[4]
