Juglans olanchana

J. olanchana grows in wet and very wet tropical forests, most frequently on river banks, observed from 0-1400 m above sea level. Reports that it also grows in the mountainous regions of Argentina may result from confusion with the cedro negro or nogal

Juglans olanchana is a semideciduous tree up to 40 m in height and 1.5 m in diameter, which belongs to the Juglandaceae family. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Peru. It is commonly called cedro negro (Spanish for "black walnut") or nogal (Spanish for "walnut"). The long branches bear springs tipped with 40-50 cm long, glabrous, pinately compound leaves, darker on the top than on the bottom. The base of the trunk sometimes has buttresses. More
