Pseudobombax septenatum, also known as Algodón de río, beldaco, ceibo barrigón, majagua colorada or barrigon, is a deciduous tree belonging to the Malvaceae family. It can reach heights of up to 80 feet and is commonly found in semideciduous rainforests with a distinct dry season, spanning from Nicaragua to Brazil. Its flowers are cream-colored and resemble those of Ceiba spp., with a cluster of stamens surrounding the pistil, often numbering up to one thousand. The leaves typically have seven smooth-edged, narrow oblong leaflets. The tree was originally named Pachira barrigon and later Bombax barrigon, but was officially described as Pseudobombax septenatum by Dutch scientist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1760. The current name was given by Armando Dugand in 1943. Pseudobombax septenatum is characterized by bright green lines running through its bark, a feature also seen in Ceiba spp. and Chorissa spp.
