Surinam laurel, scientifically known as Laurus surinamensis, is a striking evergreen tree native to the tropical regions of South America. It is prized for its aromatic leaves, which are often used in culinary and medicinal applications. The plant features glossy dark green foliage and can grow up to 30 meters tall in its natural habitat. Its resilience to humid climates makes it a popular choice for ornamental landscaping. Despite its beauty, the Surinam laurel faces threats from deforestation and habitat loss.
