The National Flower is that of the Lignum Vitae tree (Guiacum officinale), whose name, ‘wood of life’ is believed to reflect its medicinal properties.
Lignum vitae is a trade wood, also called guayacan or guaiacum,[1] and in parts of Europe known as pockenholz, from trees of the genus Guaiacum. This wood was once very important for applications requiring a material with its extraordinary combination of strength, toughness and density. It is also the Jamaican national flower. wikipedia
