Santos Rosewood (Machaerium Scleroxylon) is also known as Pau Ferro, or Bolivian Rosewood. Its colour can be highly varied, ranging from reddish/orange to a dark violet/brown, usually with contrasting darker black streaks. Grain is generally straight, although may be slightly interlocked, and it has a fine, even texture.
As it is not presently covered by CITES or the IUCN Red List, the wood is often used as a substitute for the endangered Brazilian Rosewood.
