This dangerous tree is an evergreen, part of the spurge family.  There are two species; Hura crepitans and H. polyandra.   

They are native primarily to the tropical parts of South America, Mexico and the Amazonian rain forest; occasionally found in tropical parts of North America. In addition, the sandbox tree was introduced into Tanzania in Eastern Africa, where it is now considered an invasive species.
