Quararibea funebris (flor de cacao, flor de tejate, cacahuaxochitl, funeral tree, rosita de cacao, tejate; syn. Lexarza funebris) is a tree native to Mexico. This plant is used as a medicinal plant, and also as one of the essential ingredients in the traditional chocolate-maize drink known as tejate. It is also depicted on Maya drinking vessels used for cacao.[1]
