Ocotea porphyria is a species of evergreen tree in the laurel family, native to southern Bolivia and northwestern Argentina. It can grow up to 25 meters in height and has a straight, cylindrical trunk up to 130 cm in diameter, and a broad, many-branched crown. The leaves are simple, elliptic-lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate in shape, and 7 to 18 cm long by 3 to 6 cm wide. Flowers are yellowish-white, 3 to 4 mm in diameter, and hermaphroditic, on axillary panicles up to 15 cm long. Fruits are a single-seeded ovoid brown berry, 13–18 mm long by 8–10 mm wide, with an ovoid brown seed, 9–13 mm long by 6–8 mm wide. It is harvested from the wild for timber, which is used for furniture and construction. It is found in the Southern Andean Yungas, montane moist forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes and Sierras Pampeanas mountain ranges, from approximately 800 to 2500 meters elevation.
