Dalbergia miscolobium is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, native to seasonally dry tropical areas of Bolivia and Brazil.[1] A slow-growing evergreen tree reaching 16 m (52 ft), it is considered "very ornamental" due to its light, bluish-green leaves.[2] It is used as a street tree in a number of Brazilian cities.[3]
