Punjuba racemiflora is a small to medium-sized tree in the pea family, native to humid lowland and montane forests of Costa Rica, western Panama and northwest Ecuador. It is rarely grown outside its native range, so care guidance is limited; it needs warm, humid, shaded to bright conditions similar to other forest-understory tropical trees.
