Reasons: Widespread but scattered Caribbean range. Rare and endangered in Florida Keys according to Scurlock (1987). Limited range and abundance not known. Protected forests in the serpentine and dry and moist limestone regions of western Puerto Rico, now rare. Record (1924) reports occurrences also in Santo Domingo, the Bahamas, Bermuda and southen Florida. Chudnoff (1993) includes Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Lesser Antilles from Anguilla to St. Lucia as part of species range.

Zanthoxylum flavum
Zanthoxylum flavum is a medium-sized tree in the citrus family, Rutaceae. Common names include Noyer,[3]West Indian Satinwood, Yellow Sanders, Tembetaria, and Yellow Sandalwood. It is found in Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, and the Florida Keys, exclusive of Key West where it has been extirpated.[2] It is threatened by habitat loss and harvesting for its dense, durable wood used in fine woodworking.[4]
In its native subtropical range Z. flavum grows in areas with average to high rainfall year-round or with defined dry seasons. It grows on a variety of soils with different drainage regimes, from rapidly draining volcanic derived soils to well-draining clay soils.[1] The tree can grow on serpentine soils. It grows with a straight bole, producing a limited canopy of pinnately compound leaves,[5] clusters of small pale yellow to cream-coloured flowers and small black seeds. Pollination is probably from bees, and the seeds are thought to be dispersed by birds and bats as with the closely related species, Z. martinicense.
