Drimys roraimensis is a broadleaf evergreen tree of family Winteraceae.

it is native to the tepuis, flat-topped mountains in southern Venezuela and western Guyana.

[1] Drimys roraimensis is endemic to montane cloud forests of the tepuis, where it is found on mountain slopes, along streams, and in swamps between 1,800 and 2,500 meters elevation.

[1] The species' estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated as 357,372 km2.

The estimated area of occupancy is 140 km2, which is likely an under-estimate because of the low number of collections.
