Citharexylum berlandieri is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family, Verbenaceae, that is native to the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in the United States[3] and Mexico as far south as Oaxaca.[2] Common names include Tamaulipan fiddlewood, Berlandier fiddlewood, negrito fiddlewood,[1] negrito, and orcajuela.[4] It is a shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 6 m (20 ft).[5] The type specimen of this species was collected from the hills near Las Canoas, San Luis Potosí by Cyrus Pringle in 1890.[6] It was described as a new species the following year by Benjamin Lincoln Robinson,[7] who chose the specific epithet to honour French naturalist Jean-Louis Berlandier.[8]
