The white-flowered drunken bottle tree (Ceiba chodatii) is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It is notable for its succulent, swollen trunk covered with spines and its buttress roots. The name palo borracho ("drunken tree"), which is common in Paraguay and Chile, is derived from the distinctive growth form of the trunk.
