Podocarpus aracensis is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is a tree native to northern Brazil and southern Venezuela.[2] It is known from two tepuis, Serra do Aracá in the Brazilian state of Amazonas, and Cerro Yaví in the Venezuelan state of Amazonas. Tepuis are steep-sided, flat-topped sandstone mountains which rise above the surrounding plateau. Podocarpus aracensis grows along streams in dwarf forest or shrub vegetation from 1,200 to 2,100 metres elevation.[1]
The species was described by David John de Laubenfels and John Silba in 1988.[2]
