A tropical tree native to South America that produces hard wood and is used for timber and medicine.
From Spanish 'cebil', borrowed from Guaraní or Tupi languages of South America; likely related to indigenous names for various useful trees in the region.
The cebil tree produces gum that was traditionally used by indigenous peoples as medicine and incense, and modern researchers have found compounds in it that show promise for treating inflammation and infections.
