The article contains sentences copied directly from this text and this text. Despite some slight alterations and reordering, this still constitutes a WP:Copyright violation. For example, the article reads:

The wood of fishpoison tree is yellow-brown, close-grained, heavy, hard, and durable, holding up well against moisture and rot.[2] The wood is highly valued as a good carving material and is used to make boat timbers, fence posts, and poles; the wood is also used as a fuel and to make charcoal.

and the source states:

''The yellow-brown wood of the fishpoison tree is valued for its use as fuel and charcoal. The wood is close-grained, heavy, hard, durable, and holds up well against moisture and rot. As a result of these properties, the wood is known a good wood carving material and is used to make boat timbers, fence posts, and poles.''

The article reads:

...well known as a traditional medicine for treating neuralgia (severe, stabbing nerve pain), migraine, insomnia, anxiety, fear, and nervous tension.[9] Western scientists discovered as early as 1844 that fishpoison tree had pain-relieving and sweat-promoting properties.

''...best known as a traditional remedy for treating neuralgia (severe, stabbing nerve pain), migraine, insomnia, anxiety, fear, and nervous tension. As early as 1844, Western scientists discovered that Jamaica dogwood had pain-relieving and sweat-promoting properties.''
