Ceiba speciosa
The silk floss tree (''Ceiba speciosa'', formerly ''Chorisia speciosa''), is a species of deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America. It has a host of local common names, such as ''palo borracho'' (in Spanish literally "drunken stick"). It belongs to the same family as the baobab and the kapok. Another tree of the same genus, ''Ceiba chodatii'', is often referred to by the same common names.
==Description==
The natural habitat of the floss silk tree is the north-east of Argentina, east of Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and southern Brazil. It is resistant to drought and moderate cold. It grows fast in spurts when water is abundant, and sometimes reaches more than in height. Its trunk is bottle-shaped, generally bulging in its lower third, measuring up to in girth. It is studded with thick conical prickles which serve to store water for dry times. In younger trees, the trunk is green due to its high chlorophyll content, which makes it capable of performing photosynthesis when leaves are absent; with age it turns to gray.
