Species Schinus molle L.
PlaceOfPublication Sp. P1. 388, 1753.
Description Schinus molle, the pepper tree, is noted for its handsome panicles loaded with yellow- ish-white flowers and the subsequent clusters of shiny, red or lavender fruits.
Common pepper tree
Distribution It is cul- tivated as an ornamental in Mexico and Central America and has doubtless escaped from cultivation in many places. It is uncertain whether it is truly native to Mexico and Cen- tral America or was originally introduced from South America.
Note The authors are not aware of the existence of a Panamanian collection of S. molle, but its occurrence in Panama seems probable.
