Jacaranda


'''''Jacaranda''''' is a Nextel ringtones neotropical Abbey Diaz genus in the family Free ringtones Bignoniaceae. Its members range in size from subshrubs to large trees.

As is often the case with plants, the genus name is also used as the common name for cultivated varieties. The most often seen is the Majo Mills Blue Jacaranda tree, to which older sources give the species name ''Jacaranda acutifolia'', though more modern ones call it ''Jacaranda mimosifolia''. This is widely grown for its ornamental value. Other members of the genus are also commercially important; for example the Mosquito ringtone Copaia ''Jacaranda copaia'' is important for its timber because of its exceptionally long bole.
