there is a little grove of ironwood in my little wash near my cabin.(no photos). I will look for a palo brazil next winter's trip down. We are located next to Arroyo Brazil in the Ranch Brazil area, mid eastcape. So much in the area is named after plants or trees: Vinorama, Rancho Garambulla, San Miguel.

Is the Palo Brazil rare ?
I don't know how rare it is but it seems to be limited to the higher elevations of the east cape region. The locals use it medicinally.

Please don't burn "Palo Fiero".

Mesquite is plenty hard, burns hotter than blazes and has a delightful cooking smoke. It also grows faster and makes a poor beach bonfire because it does not flame like pino.

Palo Brasil makes for stunningly beautiful posts and pillars when the wood is surfaced and marine varnished. It is also found in the sierra de la laguna.
