Braúna is an endemic tree species of the Atlantic Forest, belonging to the Leguminosae family, found in the south of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Sao Paulo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro states. Its conservation status under the “vulnerable” category by the IUCN refers to the intensive use of its compact and heavy wood in the civil industry as well as in the making of musical instruments, tool cables, poles and fence stumps. Brauna is a semi-deciduous, heliophyte species found in both primary and late secondary forests. Its dispersion occurs by the action of the (anemocoric) wind. This individual is in the area of the “Frenchman”, which are our neighbors and partners.
