Aiouea dubia is a species of tree in the family Lauraceae.[3] It is native to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and northwestern Venezuela in tropical South America.[2] It is a small tree which grows up to 10 metres tall. It grows in Andean foothill and montane tropical moist forest, on slopes along streams, from 500 to 2,800 metres elevation.[1]
