Clavija domingensis is a species of plant in the family Primulaceae.[2]

Clavija domingensis is an unbranched shrub that grows to 4 meters (13 feet) tall. The long simple leaves grow from the top of the trunk, giving the plant a palm-like appearance. The long leathery leaves inspired the Haitian Creole name of the plant: lang bèf (lit. "cow's tongue"). Flowers and fruit are born on long pending racemes.
