The word “Andira” describes a tall tree that grows in the Brazilian Amazon and has been been used for centuries by indigenous people for its medicinal properties.
Andira noun : 1. Andira retusa, a Brazilian tree species. Has purple flowers, and a slight aroma of oranges.
However, due to logging and deforestation, the species has been vastly devastated.

About the shirt I got.
HUMMINGBIRD - Over 300 species of hummingbirds live in Central and South America and scientists predict there are still many species that have yet to be discovered. The Hummingbird Rain Tee was designed by Luiz Alvarajo. Because hummingbirds use so much energy beating their wings up to 100 times per second, they must consume several times their body weight in nectar each day. Luiz illustrates an Amazon Hummingbird doing just that.
I love shirts with messages and this line of clothes has the strongest message I have seen.
