Peumus
''Peumus boldus'', commonly known as boldo (from the Mapuche name ''foḻo''), is a species of tree in the family Monimiaceae and the only species in the genus ''Peumus''. It is endemic to the central region of Chile, between 33° and 40° southern latitude. Boldo has also been introduced to Europe and North Africa, though it is not often seen outside botanical gardens. Due to its common name, it is often confused with the species ''Plectranthus ornatus'', known as ''falso boldo'' ("false boldo"), ''boldo paraguayo'' or ''boldo rastrero'', which has led to confusion about the uses, properties and toxicity of both species. Description ''Boldo'', together with ''litre'', ''quillay'', ''peumo'', ''bollén'' and other indigenous plants, is a characteristic component of the sclerophyllous forests endemic to central Chile. Its leaves, which have a strong, woody and slightly bitter flavor and camphor-like aroma, are used for culinary purposes, primarily in Latin America. The leaves ...
