Three mata-calada trees in the image. Maybe only one with two offshoots. As you can see, the tree doesn't get very large. After the identification I discovered another one on the other side of the center. It was within 4 meters of the place used by the well-digging team for cooking their food over a camp fire! I remember very well that they used wooden spites for barbecuing meat. Can you believe it? By little, they escaped death!

Amazing how often we go into the woods, gather sticks, build a fire, and cook over it, without giving it a thought. Beautiful plant. The bark reminds me of Sycamore.
