Machaerium villosum

Machaerium villosum, the jacarandá-do-cerrado, jacarandá-pardo, jacarandá-paulista, or jacarandá-pedra, is a native tree belonging to the Fabaceae family, primarily in Brazil. These trees preferably grown on the Cerrado and Caatinga, but they can also inhabit the Atlantic Forest. They are currently vulnerable due to logging and, primarily, habitat loss for agriculture and livestock.
