|}}Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschul is a mimosa-like timber tree native to Caatinga and Cerrado vegetation in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru. It has also been introduced to Mauritius. It grows up to {{convert|25|m|abbr=on}} tall, with a trunk diameter of {{convert|60–90|cm|abbr=on}}.[1][2] The tree's mimosa-like leaves range in length from about {{convert|7–20|cm|abbr=on}}. The flowers are cream-colored and arrive in the spring. The seed pods are fairly straight and contain about 8 to 15 seeds each. The seeds are flat, average each about {{convert|1.5|cm|abbr=on}} in diameter and have an average mass of about {{convert|0.125|g|abbr=on}} each. The tree's wood has a density of about {{convert|840|kg/m3|abbr=on}}.[3] UsesGumGum from the tree can be used in the same way as gum arabic.[4] HoneyThis tree is used as a honey plant.[2] MedicineThe tree is a medicinal plant.[2] The bark is the most-used part of the tree for this. Small amounts of roasted, powdered seeds are snuffed for headaches and colds.[3] Ornamental treeThe tree is an ornamental plant, and it is especially useful as an urban tree.[2] TanninThe tree's bark contains about 15.38% tannin. The seed pods contain 3% tannin and the heartwood contains 1.8%.[2][5] WoodThe wood is very hard and it dulls cutting tools. The heartwood is quite durable. The tree's wood is used for outdoor construction, marine applications, railroad ties and implement handles.[2] AlkaloidsBufotenin and dimethyltryptamine have been isolated from the seeds and seed pods, 5-MeO-DMT from the bark of the stems.[3] The seeds were found to contain 12.4% bufotenine, 0.06% 5-MeO-DMT and 0.06% DMT.[6]{{unreliable source?|date=May 2017}} ConservationA. colubrina var. cebil is very much sought for its wood and bark (for medicinal purposes) and so it is being destructively cut down by industry. Since the tree is beautiful and useful, calls are being made to plant trees near communities that use them, so that sustainable harvesting of the tree can be accomplished.[7]PropagationThe seeds can be placed between a folded damp paper towel in a sealable plastic sandwich bag for a few days until the seeds sprout. They can then be planted {{convert|1|cm|abbr=on}} deep in well-drained containers. Once watered, is important to let the growing medium dry out well, before watering again.[8] See also{{Portal|Trees}}
