Condalia

Condalia is a genus of spiny shrubs in the tribe Rhamneae of the buckthorn family, Rhamnaceae.[1] It was named for Antonio Condal, an 18th Spanish physician.[2] Members of the genus are native to tropical and subtropical deserts and xeric shrublands in North and South America. The ranges of each species vary considerably; some are confined to only a few square miles, while others can be found on an area up to 1,000 sq mi (2,600 km2).[3]

Common names

Condalia species are often referred to as bluewood, purple haw, logwood,[4] or snakewood in English. Some southern hemisphere species are known as "piquillín" or "yuna". The name snakewood is broadly used and does not indicate any particular species.

Taxonomy

Research performed on the members of Condalia usually concerns only the species native to North or South America; taxonomy is determined for only one group of species. As a result, a consensus has not been reached regarding the composition of the genus.

Uses

The amount of research conducted on the economic and medical uses of Condalia species is small. However, biochemical features of this genus are currently being studied.[5]

The fruit of Condalia hookeri are edible, consumed by birds, and can be made into jelly.[6]

gollark: Okay, there is, but it's a hack.
gollark: There is no way to specify that to TIO, sorry!
gollark: Also autogenerate configuration for the formatters which allow that.
gollark: I disagree with autoformatters. I like formatting my code as bizarrely and stupidly as I want.
