One tree, several names
Martin Vahl first described the tree as Bignonia serratifolia. It was later placed in Tecoma and then Tabebuia, the name still used in the trade, and in 2007 S.O. Grose moved it to Handroanthus. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants accepts Handroanthus serratifolius and lists Tabebuia serratifolia as a synonym. GBIF records pau-d’arco as a Portuguese name, tahuari as a Spanish one and yellow ipe as an English one. The supplier label prints the Latin name as “Tabetuia serratifoli”, a misspelling.
Range and origin
According to the checklist, the species is native to Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and all five regions of Brazil. The supplier gives Peru as the country of this lot, and the pouch carries a Made in Peru seal.
The pouch and the bark
The cover photo shows the kraft stand-up pouch with a green Maya Herbs label reading Pau d’Arco and Shredded, next to a terracotta bowl of fibrous, light golden bark strands. The second photo shows the bowl alone, where a few larger, darker bark pieces are visible among the fibres.
Packaging and delivery
Each pouch of bark is packed on a business day and dispatched in outer packaging kept neutral, with no reference to the contents. When tracking is available, a link arrives in your inbox after the parcel ships. Our Delivery, tracking and returns page covers delivery estimates and the 14-day withdrawal right, exceptions included.
Frequently asked questions
Is pau d’arco the same as tahuari?
Here, yes. The supplier sells this bark as Tahuari, and GBIF lists tahuari as a Spanish name of Handroanthus serratifolius.
Why do two Latin names appear?
Tabebuia serratifolia is the older name still used by sellers; Handroanthus serratifolius is the name accepted today by the World Checklist.
How is the bark cut?
Shredded into long, thin, pale fibres with some small bark flakes, as the photos show.
