FOLIA CAROBA -JACARANDA CAROBA, 



THE Caroba leaves of commerce are obtained from a native 

 tree of Brazil. It belongs to the family Bignoniaceae, and has 

 been honored with a number of names. The correct one probably 

 is Jacaranda Caroba, given it by De Candolle ; although the name 

 Jacaranda Procera, given by Sprengel, is in quite common use.

 Pinna or Leaflet. Natural Size. 



Martins called the tree Cybistas Antisyphilitica, and Vellos gives it 

 the appropriate title of Bignonia Caroba.
