Azara lanceolata (lanceleaf azara; "corcolen", "aromo" in Spanish) is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae (it was previously categorized as Flacourtiaceae). It has been named after its lance-shaped, serrated, glossy, bright green leaves. It is an evergreen shrub, growing to a height of 3–5 meters. It is found on both sides of the Andes mountains, in the south of Argentina and Chile.
Its flowers that bloom in either late winter or early spring are known for having a strong smell, which some people say smells like vanilla.
