Porlieria chilensis is a species of flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae. It is endemic to Chile, where it is known as Guayacán and palo santo.[1] It is a small tree or shrub, akin to other members of the genus which are all found in South America.[2] It is distributed between the Coquimbo and O'Higgins Regions.[3][1] An example occurrence of P. chilensis is in the arid forested area of central Chile, where it occurs in association with the endangered Chilean wine palm, Jubaea chilensis.[4]
