PAU D'ARCO WHOLE

Botanical Insights: Explore the intricacies of Pau D'Arco

Botanical Overview:

Description: Pau D'arco (Tabebuia impetiginosa), a member of the Bignoniaceae family, stands as a sizable deciduous tree, often with trunks reaching widths of up to 8 dm and heights of 30 m. Typically, one-third of its height constitutes the trunk, while the remaining two-thirds extend into longer branches. Featuring a large, globous, albeit occasionally sparse canopy, the tree maintains a deliberate and unhurried growth rate.

The bark, presenting a brownish-grey hue, proves resilient and challenging to peel. The wood, displaying a pleasing yellowish color, is minimally knotted, remarkably tough, and possesses considerable weight.

Leaves, arranged oppositely and petiolate, measure 2 to 3 inches in length, showcasing an elliptic and lanceolate form with lightly serrated margins and pinnate venation. Usually composed of five leaflets, the leaves are palmately compound.

Flowering occurs from July to September, preceding the emergence of new leaves. In India, the flowering season spans December to January, following leaf shedding. The flower, notably large and tubular-shaped, often displays a pink or magenta corolla, occasionally appearing white, with four stamens and a staminode.

The fruit comprises a narrow dehiscent capsule containing several winged seeds.

Common Names & Nomenclature: The genus name "Tabebuia" is an abbreviation of "tacyba bebuya," a Tupi name signifying "ant wood." The common name "pau d’arco" originates from the Portuguese "pau-d’arco," directly translating to "bow wood."

Exploring Applications Embrace innovative possibilities for this herb:

Pau d'Arco, a sizable rainforest tree native to South America, goes by various common names such as trumpet tree, lapacho Colorado, ipe roxo, and more. While it is appreciated in its natural habitat for providing pleasant shade and vibrant flowers, commercial cultivation primarily focuses on harvesting its bark. The inner pith of the tree contains valuable organic compounds, notably lapachol and beta-lapachone. Extracting these compounds requires simmering the bark in boiling water for at least 15 minutes due to their resistance to water.
