Angico
Angico wood (Parapiptadenia rigida) is a hardwood weighing about 540 kg/m3.
Angico, as listed here, is Parapiptadenia rigida, a tree of the pea family, Fabaceae. Kew's Plants of the World Online gives its native range as northern Bolivia to south-east and southern Brazil and north-east Argentina. The Global Wood Density Database records a basic density (oven-dry mass divided by green volume) of 1.07 g/cm3 for extratropical South America (single record). That is the only published density figure we found; it is not the same measure as an air-dried weight. The weight shown on this page does not come from a published source. We have not found a published source for the working properties or durability of Parapiptadenia rigida.
