Amburana cearensis
Amburana cearensis is a seasonally dry tropical timber tree from South America, valued for its fragrant wood and grown mainly in its native range. It is rarely grown as an ornamental, and the key to growing it is a warm, sunny site with a clear dry season.
Amburana cearensis is a species of timber tree in the family Fabaceae. This plant is native to northern, eastern, and west-central Brazil, northwestern Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. It is threatened by habitat loss.
