Hura polyandra is a species of tree native to various parts of Latin America.[2]

In 2019 the IUCN classified this species as least concern due to there being no recent evidence of significant threats or future ones, as well as its large distribution and population.[1]

Trees can grow up to 30 meters in height[1] and its flowers are monoecious with absent petals.[3] The species occurs in cleared agricultural areas, forest plains, and rocky hillsides.[1]
