''Quassia amara'' (amargo, bitter-ash, bitter-wood) is a species in the genus ''Quassia'', with some botanists treating it as the sole species in the genus. The genus was named by Carolus Linnaeus who named it after the first botanist to describe it: the Surinamese freedman Graman Quassi. ''Q. amara'' is used as insecticide, in traditional medicine and as additive in the food industry.
