Aniba
Aniba is a genus of neotropical trees and shrubs in the laurel family, grown mainly for valuable scented timber and essential oils rather than as garden or houseplants. Its species are not commonly cultivated, so care is mostly a matter of mimicking tropical forest conditions.
Aniba is an American neotropical flowering plant genus in the family Lauraceae. They are present in low and mountain cloud forest in Caribbean islands, Central America, and northern to central South America.
Aniba is a genus of great ecological importance. It currently includes 57 species, classified into six different subgroups, in which the woody structures are almost undifferentiated; the differences are ecological adaptations to different environments over a relatively dry-wet climate. Species in less humid environments are smaller or less robust, with less abundant and thinner foliage and have oleifera cells that give trees a more fragrant aroma.
