Gyrocarpus jatrophifolius
Gyrocarpus jatrophifolius is a deciduous tree notable for its large, lobed leaves resembling those of a Jatropha, and its distinctive propeller-like fruits that facilitate wind dispersion. It thrives in well-drained, dry soils typically found in savannas and forest clearings, where its broad canopy provides shade and its deep rooting system taps into scarce water reserves, enabling it to survive in arid conditions.
