Arawakia weddelliana is a species of flowering plant in the family Clusiaceae, and the sole species in genus Arawakia. It is a shrub or tree native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Nicaragua to Bolivia and northern Brazil.[2] It grows in lowland and montane tropical rain forest up to 2,683 meters elevation.[1]

The species was first described as Tovomita weddelliana by Jules Émile Planchon and José Jerónimo Triana in 1860. In 2019 Lucas Cardoso Marinho placed the species in the newly described genus Arawakia as A. weddelliana. It has many synonyms.[2]
