Hymenaea stiginocarpa is a tree in the pea family native to Brazil and Paraguay. It has a twisted spindle-shaped trunk, a very rough grey bark, and reddish-brown twigs. The deciduous leaves consist of two large asymmetrical leaflets with an entire margin. It produces edible, highly appreciated fruits, which are often collected from the wild and used by local people. The flowers occur in clusters of up to thirty at the end of the branches and are pollinated mainly by bats. The ripe fruit is light to dark brown with small and regularly spaced light glands, dry, indehiscent, leathery legume with a characteristic smell. It is an important tree for the people of the Brazilian Cerrado, and it represents a substantial economic value with its high quality wood, resin and edible fruits.
