Resumen

Context: The presence of Annonaceae plants in the Hotel Guantanamo (Guantanamo), which do not belong to any of the species of this family recorded in the preliminary inventory of Cuban vascular plants encouraged researchers to study their identity, origin, and properties.


Aim: To unveil the identity of the species, through a detailed study of its presence and record in Cuba, provide an analytical key to contrast it from the other akin taxa, and compile associated elements with the main properties that characterize it, including its practical use.


Methods: Botanical methods were used in the study, such as working with collections, comparison of descriptions, and keys in specific catalogs, along with the scientific description and illustration. The adjacent population was surveyed to establish the use given to the plant.


Results: The presence of Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook. F. & Thoms in Cuba was confirmed. The taxon was described and illustrated, and an analytical key was established to contrast the species from the other representatives of this genus in Cuba. A few remarks were made on the usefulness of the plant for gardening and medicine.


Conclusions: C. odorata must be included in the catalogs and specialized papers on the Cuban flora. Its usefulness for gardening and traditional medicine, and its antiviral, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties must be taken into account by the Cuban economic botany.
