Bowdichia virgiloides - sucupiraçu

Sugestão

Utilize o nome científico e, se achar apropriado, o nome comum em PT. No caso da sucupiraçu, de acordo com a lista de biodiversidade de 2006, não existe tradução para o inglês

1. Definição no Houaiss:

Sucupiraçu
árvore grande ou regular (Bowdichia virgilioides), da fam. das leguminosas, subfam. papilionoídea, nativa do Brasil (PA, MG, SP, C.-O.), com tubérculos e casca depurativos, madeira branco-amarelada, fibrosa, dura e incorruptível, us. em assoalhos e portas, flores roxas ou brancas, grandes, em panículas, vagens avermelhadas e sementes de que se extrai óleo com uso interno como antirreumático; coração-de-negro, cutiúba, cutiubeira, paricarana, sapupira-do-campo, sebipira, secupira, sicupira-amarela, sicupira-branca, sicupira-do-cerrado, sucupira-amarela, sucupira-branca, sucupira-do-cerrado

2. Prepare to be floored: hard, heavy, durable sucupira is an ideal wood for flooring

South American hardwood sucupira's fan base is far from universal. People who like the wood praise it for its great strength and outstanding durability. Sucupira's across-the-board strength properties puts it near the top in ratings, almost as strong as greenheart. The wood loses points though for being hard to dry and difficult to work. It will cup and check during the kiln process unless extreme care is taken, along with a slow drying schedule. Interlocked grain makes for problems when cutting or planning the wood.

In the looks department, the reviews are equally mixed. Sucupira has been described as a "boring, muddy-brown wood" by some, while others describe it as a "lustrous chocolate brown with interesting golden striping."
