Peltogyne
''Peltogyne'', commonly known as purpleheart, amendoim or amaranth, is a genus of 23 species of flowering plants in the family Fabaceae, native to tropical regions of Central and South America, where they occur in tropical rainforests. Purpleheart comes from the rainforests of Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname.〔http://www.south20.com/woods/purpleheart.htm〕 They are medium-sized to large trees growing to 30–50m (120–150 ft) tall, with trunk diameters of up to 1.5 m. The leaves are alternate, divided into a symmetrical pair of large leaflets 5–10 cm long and 2–4 cm broad. The flowers are small, with five white petals, produced in panicles. The fruit is a pod containing a single seed. ==Distribution== The species of the genus range from southeastern Brazil through northern South America, Panama, Costa Rica, and Trinidad, with the majority of species in the Amazon Basin. ''P. mexicana'' is a geographic outlier, native to the Mexican state of Guerrero.〔Sotuyo, Solange.
