Guangobaum

Explanation:
kann man m. E. nicht übersetzen.

Ich kam auf einigen Umwegen bis zu Pithecollobium Saman, aber da wird im Deutschen auch kein Deutsches Equivalent, sondern nur der botanische Begriff verwendet, und ich kann nicht mal bestätigen, dass das wirklich der Jamaikanische Guangobaum ist!
