Peltogyne purpure, shore tree also called Nazareno or because of its coloration in the interior Purpleheart.

This tree reaches a height of up to 50 meters and is also one of the endangered species. The bark is smooth and light gray, while the heartwood is light purple with dark stripes. This is an economically valuable tree, but its harvest is prohibited by law. Nevertheless, illegal logging takes place again and again to produce furniture as well as interior and exterior decoration, flooring, stairs, boats and luxury coffins.
