Flueggea tinctoria
Tamujo is a dioecious, deciduous shrub up to about 2 m tall, native to the southwest Iberian Peninsula, where it grows on stony, siliceous riverbanks and flood beds. It is a wild species rather than a common garden plant, so the key to growing it is to mimic its open, well-drained riparian habitat.
Flueggea tinctoria is a species of flowering shrub in the family Phyllanthaceae, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.
Flueggea tinctoria is native to the southwest quadrant of the Iberian Peninsula (inland Portugal and centralwestern-southwestern Spain), a good representative of the western Iberian sclerophyllous and semi-deciduous forests. It inhabits shrubby communities, on flood beds and torrential watercourses, on siliceous terrain, usually stony, from 20 to 200 m (66 to 656 ft) in altitude. It is especially dominant in the river basins of the Guadalquivir, Guadiana, Tagus and Douro.
