Distributed in: Bolivia, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Honduras, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela (Central America, Latin America)

Distribution overview: Several species in the genus Vochysia are distributed throughout tropical America, from southern Mexico to Peru, and are most abundant in the Guianas and Brazil. They are reported to form nearly pure stands on abandoned farmlands, and attain their best development on coastal plains and along waterways.

Common uses: Boat building (general), Boat building, Boxes and crates, Cabinetmaking, Canoes, Casks, Chairs, Chests, Concealed parts (Furniture), Decorative plywood, Decorative veneer, Desks, Dining-room furniture, Dowell pins, Dowells, Drawer sides, Figured veneer, Fine furniture, Floor lamps, Flooring, Food containers, Furniture , Furniture components, Furniture squares or stock, Furniture, General carpentry, Hatracks, Interior trim, Joinery, Kitchen cabinets, Lifeboats, Light construction, Living-room suites, Moldings, Office furniture, Packing cases, Paneling , Plywood corestock, Plywood, Pulp/Paper products, Radio - stereo - TV cabinets, Rustic furniture, Shipbuilding, Stools, Tables , Utility furniture, Veneer, Wainscotting, Wardrobes

Product sources: The ITTO reports that the species is an important source of timber and rates as a fairly important export.Vochysia timbers are used for the same purposes as those produced by the genus Qualea, and the two genera are often referred to by the same vernacular name in some areas.
