“Initiative” presents Sibipiruna
Sibipiruna is the proposed tree for the thirteenth station of the park. Its scientific name is Caesalpinia pluviosa. It belongs to the Fabaceae family (the same family as the Ingá-do-brejo tree).
Its name comes from the Tupi language and means “black sibipira”. Native to the Atlantic Forest, its foliage is similar to the Brazilwood. Its height ranges from 6 to 18 meters (20 to 60 feet), and can reach up to 28 meters (92 feet). The diameter of its trunk reaches between 30 and 40 cm (12 to 16 inches).
Its leaves fall off in winter, almost completely, and reappear in spring. Its flowers are yellow and appear from September to November. Its fruits are flat and contain about 3 to 5 seeds. It is a long-lived tree, and can reach 100 years of age.
Sibipiruna is a pioneer species (like the Timbó tree), and is one of the first species to appear in a degraded area. It is large, has exuberant flowering, provides cool shade and grows quickly. These are traits that make it in tune with the concept of Initiative !
Natura Futura 
Como a imagem é muito aérea e tão clara como a luz ou um pássaro, passou-me a mensagem de que a iniciativa é o impulso para alçar-se em voo!
