'''''Schinopsis lorentzii''''' is a hardwood [[tree]], native of the Paraguayan subtropical area, which forms forests in [[Gran Chaco]] region of [[Argentina]], in [[Paraguay]], and [[Bolivia]]. Some of its common names are ''coronillo'', ''quebracho colorado santiagueño'', ''quebracho macho'', and ''quebracho bolí''. The qualification ''colorado'' ("red") differentiates it from other species of common [[quebracho]] tree, the ''[[Aspidosperma quebracho-blanco]]'' (''quebracho blanco'', "white quebracho", family [[Apocynaceae]]). The indication ''santiagueño'' (from [[Santiago del Estero Province|Santiago del Estero]]) is made to distinguish it from ''quebracho colorado chaqueño'', a closely related species (''[[Schinopsis balansae]]'').
This tree is commercially very important due to its extremely hard and durable wood, and because of its [[tannin]]. The [[tanning]] industry has been exploiting quebracho forests for more than 100 years.
