Dipteryx oleifera (syns.Dipteryx panamensis and Coumarouna panamensis), the eboe, choibá, Tonka Bean or almendro (almond in Spanish), is a species of emergent rainforest tree up to 165 feet (fifty meters) tall [2] in the family Fabaceae (the subfamily Papilionoidea), native to Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador.
As the tree gets older, its crown becomes more flattened to form a spreading, vase shape. Its branches are distinctively arranged in tiers. The leaves are large and ovoid, it is 15–25 cm (6– 9 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long and 10–14 cm (4– 5 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) broad; it has a glossy and leathery dark green surface like paper. [ 8 ]
