Meet hammock velvetseed

Guettarda elliptica Sw.

Hammock velvetseed grows as a shrub or small tree, commonly around 2–3 m tall in the Bahamian account but capable of reaching about 7 m. Its leaves occur in opposite pairs, with small triangular stipules occupying the space between their stalks. These paired leaves give the slender branches an orderly appearance.
