Schinopsis is a genusofSouth American trees in the family Anacardiaceae, also known by the common names quebracho, quebracho colorado and red quebracho. In Brazil it is known as baraúnaorbraúna.

Description

[edit]

The species within this genus inhabit different regions of the Gran Chaco ecoregion including parts of northern Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay.[1] In Brazil it can be found as a component of the Caatinga in the northwestern region.[2]

The name is in recognition of the hardness of the wood from the Spanish quiebra-hacha ("axe-breaker"). It also distinguishes the species from the "white quebracho" trees of the unrelated genus Aspidosperma.[3]

Schinopsis is the exclusive food plant of the moth Coleophora haywardi.
