Schinopsis lorentzii, known as red quebracho, is a large hardwood tree of the Gran Chaco dry forests of Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia, grown mainly for its tannin-rich timber and bark. It is a species of the cashew family and is best treated as a large landscape tree rather than a garden plant.
Schinopsis lorentzii is a species of flowering plant in the family Anacardiaceae.
It is a hardwood tree known as red quebracho, native of the Paraguayan subtropical area, which forms forests in Gran Chaco region of Argentina, in Paraguay, and Bolivia. Some of its common names are coronillo, quebracho Cornillo (Brazil), quebracho chaqueño, quebracho colorado santiagueño, quebracho macho, and quebracho bolí. The qualification colorado ("red") differentiates it from other species of common quebracho tree, the Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco (quebracho blanco, "white quebracho", family Apocynaceae). The indication santiagueño (from Santiago del Estero) is made to distinguish it from quebracho colorado chaqueño, a closely related species (Schinopsis balansae).
