Laurel de cera (Morella pubescens) grows along the Andes Mountains at elevations above 1200 meters. It takes its nickname from its leaves, which resemble laurel. Laurel de cera produces green flowers that give way to small black fruit covered in wax, which is used to make candles and varnishes. It is commonly used for erosion control along slopes because of its deep, strong roots.
