Coccoloba uvifera. Coccoloba comes from “cocolobis” a type of Spanish grape; uvifera means “bearing grapes” or “like grapes.”Sea-Grapes are an important honey source, they make a good bonsai candidates, and a patent was filed in 1999 to use leaf extracts to control blood sugar levels in diabetics. Oh, and the tree is protected in Florida.
