Most likely either Guaiacum officinale or Guaiacum sanctum. Both are small, slow-growing trees which can be used to produce lignum vitae, and are listed as endangered species.
The term "tree of life" appears to be a metaphor comparing the complexity of life to the many branches of a tree, so there is either no such plant called the tree of life, or there are a number of plants by this name dependant on global location.The breadfruit tree, of the Philippines and of other Pacific Islands, is probably the closest to being awarded this distinction due to the incredible nutritional value of its fruits, not to mention its value as timber in early shipbuilding. Its scientific name is Artocarpus altilis.
The scientific name for squids is Decapodiformes.
The scientific name for chrysanthemums is Chrysanthemum spp.
Cnidaria is the scientific name.
The scientific name of paste is "Liquorice Glaberrima."
The name would be Guaiacum officinale. Family: Zygophyllaceae.
The state tree of the Bahamas is the Lignum Vitae (Guaiacum officinale), which is known for its dense, tough wood and blue to purple flowers. It is a symbol of strength and beauty in the Bahamian ecosystem.
Lignum Vitae or to give it its correct name Guaiacum officina'le is a hard wood tree native to the West Indies and warmer areas of North America.
The Jamaican National Flower is Lignum Vitae (Guiacum Officinale).
lignum vitae
No, lignum vitae is a dense hardwood with a specific gravity higher than water, so it sinks in water rather than floating.

purple and white(petals) and green(leaves).
Lignum Vitae is the hardest, densest wood in the world specific gravity over 1.4. Black Ebony has a specific gravity from 1.0-1.3, both will sink in water. Ebony weighs about 70 pounds per cubic foot, and Lignum Vitae weighs over 85 pound per cubic foot
First things first: you probably don't have Lignum Vitae. It's an endangered species. There are three companies in the US that import this stuff and 100 percent of it goes to make bearings. There is another wood called Argentine Lignum Vitae, which you very well may have; it's not as hard as the real thing (which isn't saying much; real lignum vitae is harder than aluminum) but it's still incredibly hard, and vastly easier to get. And whether you have real or Argentine lignum vitae, gluing it is the same: clean off the surface oil with lacquer thinner, sand it with 220-grit paper, reclean it and glue it with epoxy.
Lignum Vitae is an very dense wood imported from Brazil. It can have a density as high as 1.39 g/cc.
The densest wood on the planet is typically considered to be lignum vitae, a species native to the Caribbean and South America. It is known for its extreme hardness and durability, making it highly prized for applications like shipbuilding and tools.
