Caesalpinia Pecorae, also known as the Divi Divi Tree, is a leguminous tree or large shrub native to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America.
While the Green River Formation is primarily recognized for its remarkable fish fossils, its fossil flora and fauna are truly diverse, including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates such as reptiles and mammals, with even Eocene stromatolites being represented. This willow leaf displays nice venation. There is also a tiny insect present, though it is not well preserved. Insects are rarely seen in Green River fossils.
