It belongs to the Rutaceae family and has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and perfumery. It can grow up to 60 feet tall and has a dense canopy of dark green leaves. The wood of the Amyris tree is known for its distinctive sweet, woody aroma, which is why it is commonly referred to as "West Indian Sandalwood."
