Su nombre es citado en la Biblia como un árbol que se encontraba en el Edén. Se le conoce como "olivo de Bohemia" dado el parecido al olivo y haber mucho elli. En Andalucía se le conoce como "cinamono" por su parecido con otro árbol de ese nombre. Una de las poblaciones más singulares,esta en el parque "Bolitas del Airón" de Valdemoro,( Madrid), es el único bosquecillo espontáneo de la Península Ibérica, esta sin proteger, recibiendo todo tipo de agresiones. El árbol del paraíso, la especie arbórea emblemática del parque, fué introducido en el prado chico de la dehesa boyal de Valdemoro hace 50 años. Desde ahí comenzó a colonizar espontáneamente el prado grande, habiéndose adaptado y naturalizado por completo. La hojarasca del árbol del paraíso es rica en nutrientes y al descomponerse contribuye a la fertilidad del suelo. Esta especie tiene la capacidad de fijar nitrógeno atmosférico en sus raíces gracias a la asociación con bacterias del género Frankia, lo que le confiere una gran importancia ya que la presencia de ésta planta ayuda a enriquecer el suelo.
