This species of palo santo grows in the Yungas, a narrow band of forest on the eastern slope of the Andes north of La Paz, Bolivia. It was named by @mobotgarden.bsky.social botanist Alfredo Fuentes; despite the popularity of this incense plant in Bolivia, it had never been scientifically described.
