Peacock chaste tree (Vitex altissima) is a species of woody plant reaching some 20 m in height, in the Lamiaceae family.

The leaves are trifoliolate or palmate, compound and opposite. They are elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate in shape with acuminate apex and cuneate base. The margin is serrate or sometimes entire. The inflorescences are in terminal panicles. The corolla is bluish white. The purplish black fruit is a four-seeded drupe.[3]
