Genus Ceratonia, commonly known as the carob tree, is a flowering plant belonging to the family Fabaceae. The tree is primarily found in the Mediterranean region, and it is known for its long, leathery leaves, along with its edible fruits. While "Genus Ceratonia" is the scientific name for the tree, there are several other terms that can be used interchangeably, including Ceratonia siliqua, locust bean tree, and St. John's bread. These synonyms are often used in various contexts, including food production, herbal medicine, and botanical research. Despite their different names, all these terms refer to the same tree species and its attributes.
