lódão-bastardo-americano
Explanation:
Celtis occidentalis, the Common hackberry, is a large tree native to North America.

Hackberry is easily distinguished by its cork-like bark with wart-like protuberances. The leaves are distinctly asymmetrical and coarse-textured. It produces small berries that turn orange-red to dark purple. Hackberry is easily confused with sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) and is most easily distinguished by range and habitat; Hackberry also has wider leaves that are coarser above.
