## Summary

The true lignum-vitae belongs to the family Zygophyllaceae. The plants included in this family are mostly herbs, undershrubs, and shrubs; many of them are xerophytic. The only trees of the family belong to three[1] closely related genera, namely _Guaiacum_, _Porlieria_,[2] and _Bulnesia_. These are confined to tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Western Hemisphere.
