Lonchocarpus pluvialis, commonly known as cuquí in the eastern Bolivian departments of Santa Cruz and the Beni to which it is endemic, is a species of lancepod that typically grows to a height of 10 to 15 meters and is known for attracting large swarms of honeybees.
[1] Bolivians commonly distinguish between two varieties of the plant: one with yellow flowers and one with white.
[2] The flexible bark of L. pluvialis has traditionally been used to make small, flimsy boxes that serve as containers for cut tobacco, candies, or sewing supplies.
