Browneopsis cauliflora is a tropical tree in the legume family native to South America, particularly Colombia and adjacent regions. It exhibits cauliflory, meaning its flowers and fruits emerge directly from the trunk and older branches rather than from new growth. This adaptation is common in humid tropical forest understory species and facilitates pollination and seed dispersal by larger animals.
