Schinopsis brasiliensis is a species of flowering plant in the cashew family known by the common names baraúna or braúna.^[1]

This species is native to Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.^[2] It is a component of the Caatinga ecoregion in northwestern Brazil^[3] and the Chiquitano dry forests ecoregion of eastern Bolivia and adjacent portions of Brazil.^[4]

Taxonomy

It was first named and described in 1876 by Adolf Engler.^[5]

Description

Schinopsis brasiliensis can grow up to 12 metres (39 ft) tall with a trunk diameter of 60 centimeters.^[6]

Uses

This tree has a hard, sturdy wood which is used in construction.^[1]^[7] Because of its harvesting for this purpose, the tree is considered an endangered species.^[1]

Two species of mite have been noted to live on this tree, Calacarus torulus and Shevtchenkella schinopsidis.^[7]
