Cedrela fissilis is a species of tree in the family Meliaceae. It is native to Central and South America, where it is distributed from Costa Rica to Argentina.[2] Its common names include Argentine cedar,[2] cedro batata, cedro blanco, "Acaju-catinga" (its Global Trees entry) and cedro colorado.[1]

Once a common lowland forest tree, this species has been overexploited for timber and is now considered to be endangered. A few populations are stable, but many have been reduced, fragmented, and extirpated. The wood is often sold in batches with Cuban cedar (Cedrela odorata).[1]
