It is also found in the wild [[Pantanal]] [[vegetation]] in [[Brazil]]. Some of its common names are ''quebracho colorado chaqueño'' and ''quebracho santafesino''. Other species, like ''[[Schinopsis lorentzii]]'', bear the general name [[quebracho]] and have similar properties and uses. ''S. balansae'' shares its habitat with a species of the same [[genus]], ''S. heterophylla'', and the two are often confused.<br /> <br /> This tree can reach 24 metres in height and more than one metre in diameter. Its trunk is elegant, straight, with a brownish-gray bark. Its wood is extremely heavy ([[relative density]] = 1.2). Its main use is the extraction of quebracho extract, which is 63% pure [[tannin]].<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[List of plants of Pantanal vegetation of Brazil]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * {{IUCN2006|assessors=Americas Regional Workshop (Conservation &amp; Sustainable Management of Trees, Costa Rica, November 1996)|year=1998|id=32017|title=Schinopsis balansae|downloaded=12 May 2006}}<br /> * {{pt icon}} {{cite book | author=Pott, A.; Pott, V.J. | title=Plantas do Pantanal.
