Torchwood
Local name: Gáusåli (Guam)
A small tree growing in rocky places especially abundant on the Peninsula of Orote and the island of Apapa, bearing a profusion of white trumpet-shaped flowers appearing from a distance somewhat like morning glories, but 4-parted. The wood ignites easily and is used for torches.
