"Urbanodendron macrophyllum" is a species of plant in the Lauraceae family. It is endemic to Brazil. It earned a Wikipedia page after its notable appearance in the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off in which the title character visits Brazil and attempts to pronounce its name. The plant failed to gain cult notoriety, however, and as such, its article consists of only four lines.
