Hevea rigidifolia is a species of rubber tree in the genus Hevea, belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae. It is native to the rainforests of northern Brazil and Colombia, where it is endemic to localities near the upper Rio Negro, a north bank tributary of the Amazon River, and its tributary, the Vaupés River.
H. rigidifolia is endemic to the upper reaches of the Rio Negro and the Vaupés River in the northern part of the Amazon basin, near the boundary between Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela. The typical habitat of H. rigidifolia is well-drained and relatively dry soils on rocky slopes. This is in the Caatinga region of dry forest which has an annual precipitation of 250 to 1,000 mm (10 to 39 in) but a prolonged dry season of six or more months.
