Dipteryx charapilla is a little-known species of a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, a large to mid-sized tree growing along rivers in the rainforests of Brazil and Peru.
Peru: In Maynas Province, Loreto, Peru, this species is known from three localised populations in the districts of Iquitos (along the Nanay River), San Juan Bautista (El Huayo Arboretum in Puerto Almendras) and Mazán (along the Río Mazán). Aldana et al. report that trees previously identified as D. odorata in Maynas Province, Peru are misidentified, and in actuality are D. charapilla.
