Centrolobium ochroxylum[1] is a species of legume.[2] It was first described by Velva Elaine Rudd.[3] Centrolobium ochroxylum is part of the genus Centrolobium, and the family Fabaceae.[2][4]
Centrolobium ochroxylum is an evergreen tree of medium to tall stature, capable of reaching up to 30 meters in height. It has a straight base and a globose crown. Its outer bark is light brown. Its branches have dense dark pubescence, pubescent petioles, and alternate, imparipinnately compound leaves. The petiolules are short, less than 3 to 5 mm, with 9 to 11 leaflets, each 9 to 19 cm long and 7 to 12 cm wide. The leaflets are opposite in a single plane, with the blade broadly elliptic to nearly round, an entire margin, an acuminate apex, and a rounded to obtuse base on the terminal leaflet.
