Brya ebenus, also known as espino de sabana, granadillo, cocus wood, cocuswood, and coccuswood, is a small flowering tree native to the Caribbean islands of Cuba and Jamaica. It is also known as the Jamaican rain tree and is well adapted to drought conditions. The tree produces bright yellow flowers and legume fruits, and is often visited by bees. It is cultivated for its ornamental value, as a bonsai tree, and for its valuable wood, which is used to make musical instruments such as flutes, bagpipes, and clarinets. However, the branches of this tree were also used as whips for slaves in the past.
