Prumnopitys exigua is a conifer tree from Bolivia, growing up to about 20 m with a rounded crown. It is rarely grown outside its native range, so care guidance is limited and mostly based on related podocarps.
Prumnopitys exigua is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is endemic to Bolivia.
Trees grow to 20 m tall and 100 cm in diameter, with a short stout bole and spreading branches forming a rounded crown. Bark is first smooth, later exfoliating in irregular papery strips; reddish brown, weathering darker. Leaves are alternate, petiolate, twisted at base; color yellow-green at flush, turning lustrous dark green above and dull light green below. Pollen cones on lateral and axillary spikes near branch tips, each spike bearing up to 20 spreading cones, each axillary to a small leaf, 7–10 × 2 mm. Seed cones solitary on 10–15 mm long twigs, green ripening yellow, consisting of an epimatium covering a globose seed that at maturity is pruinose, 10–12 mm diameter, with an apical crest.
