Dalbergia retusa (Caviuna, Cocobolo, Cocobolo Prieto, Funeram, Granadillo, Jacarandáholz, Nambar, ñamba, Nicaraguan Rosewood, Palisander, Palissandro, Palo Negro, Pau Preto, Rosewood, Urauna) is a plant species in the familyFabaceae .[3][4] It is found in Pacific regions of Central America, ranging from Panama to southwestern Mexico.[5] It produces the cocobolo wood.[citation needed] It is a fair-sized tree, reported to reach 20–25 m in height. This is probably the species contributing most of the wood in the trade.[citation needed] Because of the wood's great beauty and high value, the trees yielding this wood have been heavily exploited and are now rare outside national parks, reserves, and plantations.
