Jacaranda copaia is a flowering pioneer tree native to the Amazon Rainforest in Northern South America. It grows to 30-35 metres tall with a long trunk and no branches, and has rough, dark gray bark. It is common in the Brazilian Amazon and is used by native people for medicinal purposes, such as treating leishmaniasis, fevers, yaws, ringworm, and ulcers. The leafy branches are also burned during the dry season to repel biting insects.
