The "imbondeiro" is considered a sacred tree, inspiring poetry, rites and legends. According to an ancient African legend, for example, once a dead person is buried inside an imbondeiro, his soul will live as long as the plant exists. It is also said that the souls of the dead hang from their branches. Interestingly, this tree has a very long life, reaching up to six thousand years. Only redwood and Japanese cedar can compete with the longevity of the imbondeiro. It should be noted that this plant was widely disseminated in the 20th century, through the work The Little Prince, by the French writer Antoine de Saint-Éxupery.
