Qualea multiflora is a species of tree in the family Vochysiaceae.¹²

Trees in this species can grow up to 6 m tall.³ The species has hairy leaves and extrafloral nectaries which possibly help reduce herbivory.⁴ Q. multiflora gets pollinated by bees in he uses like Xylocopa and Centris.⁵

The species is native to neotropics¹ in countries like Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Peru.⁶ The species naturally grows in acid soils.⁷
