Apeiba tibourbou is a tree native to Caatinga and Cerrado vegetation in Brazil, and Costa Rica.

It is used as an alternative fiber crop to make paper.

[3] The star-shaped yellow flowers give way to dry capsules covered with soft green spines.

[6] The wood is light and floats easily, so it is used to make buoys and small boats.
