		Although the name Hymenaea is derived from Hymen, the Greek God of marriage, it refers to the green leaflets that always occur in matching pairs, rather than the Indian's use of it in marriage ceremonies.
		Hymenaea has two dozen species of tall unarmed, resiniferous trees distributed in tropical parts of South America, Mexico and Cuba; the centre of speciation lies in the Amazon.
		One, H. courbaril, has a yellowish or orange-colored resinous gum, collected in lumps at the base of the tree or by wounding the bark; it is employed as incense in churches and in the manufacture of varnishes.

		Hymenaea courbaril, an extant resin-producing species of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Antilles, grows in a variety of habitats and reaches a height of 55 m (Poinar 1992).
		Resin is produced in all growing stages, but in mature trees resin issues from openings to resin cavities in the cambial zone.
		The placement of the AMNH and NMBA specimens within the trunk-crown ecomorph is consistent with exposure to weeping sap from Hymenaea limbs, and therefore the ultimate incorporation of these particular lizards into amber as inclusions.

		Hymenaea courbaril L. is a slow-growing large tree with a dense, handsome crown that produces high-quality wood (Timyan 1996).
		Its hard reddish-brown seeds are used by artisans in El Salvador to create jewelry and miniature paintings on the inside surface of the cut seeds.
		Hymenaea courbaril, or copinol is a legume that belongs to the Caesalpinioideae subfamily (Berehdson, 1989).

		Hymenaea, a genus of major economic importance, has been the subject of several botanical studies.
		However, there is disagreement over the origin of the edible fruit pulp of Hymenaea, as there are no ontogenetic studies on this organ.
		According to some authors, the edible layer results from transformations of the mesocarp and endocarp, while according to others, it is considered a seed aril.

	Hymenaea courbaril
		Hymenaea lacks significant buttresses, while Cynometra nearly always sports well developed roots of this type.
		A related but extinct Hymenaea species - known to have existed in the Caribbean - was the source for the large quantities of amber still being mined today (Morell, 1993).
		In El Salvador, Hymenaea is known as "Copinol" - a name derived from the indigenous Nahuatl language and meaning "Flour Tree" (Witsberger, 1982).

		The term stinking toe refers to the large seedpod of the West Indian Locust, Hymenaea courbaril, commonly called the stinking toe or old man's toe tree, one of the largest trees in the Caribbean.
		Stinking toe, scientifically named, Hymenaea courbaril, is also used extensively in traditional folk medicine.
		Hymenaea based herbs are said to aid in the treatment of a wide variety of health disorders such as diarrhea, dysentery, general fatigue, constipation, prostate problems, asthma, laryngitis and bronchitis as well as athlete's foot and nail fungus.

		Identifications of the source of the amber are based on chemical "fingerprints" and on the whole and partial flowers, leaves and fruits found in the amber.
		Their classification is based on the reproductive organs, one type is distinguished by 40 to 50 stamens which makes a profuse tangle in amber, this is an Acacia flower.
		Another type is a short flower with 4 stamens, this is probably the flower of the Dominican "amber tree" Hymenaea protera, whose nearest living relative is the "algarrobo" in the same genus found mostly in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic.
