Dipteryx micrantha is a tropical flowering plant, a giant tree in the Faboideae subfamily of the bean family Fabaceae. It is a dominant emergent tree in parts of the rainforests of Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.[2][3][4] In the international timber market, this species is traded under the name cumaru. It furnishes a dense, hard, beautiful reddish timber[5] which has become a popular import in the 2010s for use in parquet.[6] The ornamental bunches of lilac pink flowers high in the canopy eventually develop into a mass of large fruit pods, which are an important food for many native animals during the dry season. The fruit contains a single oily seed[7][8] which is edible,[9] although these seeds are not exploited as a commercial product.
