It is a forest where the quebracho tree abounds. In Colombia we say quebracho several trees of the family Sapotaceae (Pouteria genera and Chrysophylum) and the family Elaeocarpaceae (genus Sloanea). Also called to these trees, caimito, agai or huesillo. In Argentina say quebracho to another tree, of the family Anacardiaceae, whose scientific name is Schinopsis balansae.
