Pachira glabra (syn. Bombacopsis glabra[1][2]) is a tropical wetland tree in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to eastern Brazil,[3] where it grows along rivers and other waterways.[2] It is generally known by the nonscientific names Guinea peanut,[3][2] French peanut,[2] Saba nut,[4] money tree,[2] and lucky tree.[2] It shares many of these common names with P. aquatica, the Malabar chestnut, which is quite similar looking, has similar culinary and ornamental uses, and is often confused with P. glabra.
