Cariniana pyriformis, also known as Colombian mahogany or abarco, is a type of woody plant belonging to the Lecythidaceae family. It is native to Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Venezuela. However, its population is at risk due to the loss of its natural habitat. This species serves an important role in its ecosystem and efforts should be made to protect it from further decline.
