Bucida buceras is a tree in the Combretaceae family. It is known by a variety of names in English, including bullet tree, black olive tree, gregorywood (or gregory wood), Antigua whitewood, and oxhorn bucida.[1] It is native to Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America.[2] It is commonly found in coastal swamps and wet inland forests.[3]

The wood of the bullet tree is extremely hard and durable. It has a high resistance to insects and fungus, and is sometimes used for house posts or bridge timbers. The bark may be used for tanning leather.[3]
