Macrolobium herrerae is a tree in the Caesalpinioideae subfamily native to tropical South America, likely from the forests of Peru, Ecuador, or Colombia. It produces racemes of flowers and pinnately compound leaves, with large, woody pods typical of the genus that can float in water for seed dispersal along rivers. Macrolobium species are characteristic trees of Amazonian floodplain forests, often forming large stands.
