Carago: common names: Carao, Caragüe, Caragua, Bukut. Official name: Cassia Grandis

Carago is a deciduous subcanopy tree (15-30 m) notable for its striking, pink pastel-colored flowers as well as its [persistent], strong-smelling, and [cylindrical] woody pods. Each woody, indehiscent fruit is up to 75cm long, wide (5-6 cm), [cylindrical] in shape and contoured by elevated striations and ridges. Inside, transversely oriented compartments with papery walls contain flattened, round, tan-colored seeds (1.5 cm) as well as large amounts of thick, strong-smelling, dark-colored honey. The pungent honey found abundantly in carago pods is sometimes mixed with milk and used as a refreshment. It is said to have medicinal properties and, among other things, to help fight anemia and add iron to the blood. A liquid antiseptic can be obtained from carago roots and leaves, while its flowers are used in other household remedies. Carago is widely planted as an [ornamental] tree.

Carago trees range from southern Mexico, to Surinam and Brazil.
