A timboúva é uma árvore que atinge até 35 metros. Da família das leguminosas, subfamília mimosoideae e nativas do Brasil, possuem madeira útil, folhas bipenadas, flores brancas e frutos coriáceos pretos, que encerram saponina e têm a forma de uma orelha humana. Suas cascas e folhas são ictiotóxicas. São conhecidas ainda pelos nomes de fava-de-rosca, jacaré, pau-de-sabão, pau-sabão, sombreiro, tambor, tambori, tamboril, tamboriúva, tamburé, timbaúba, timbaúva, timbuva, ximbó, ximbiúva e ximbuíva. O termo pode remeter à Enterolobium contortisiliquum ou ainda às árvores menores Quillaja brasiliensis e Quillaja saponaria.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Enterolobium timbouva has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB
The complete instruction manualEnterolobium timbouva carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

09Environmental DNA1 detections
Where the DNA of Enterolobium timbouva was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How strong is each trace?
DNA read depthRead counts were not reported for this species — the map shows presence only, not how strong each trace was.
How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
