This species is distributed from Chiapas to Panama. It has been found to grow at altitudes of and slopes ranging from 15° to 40° of inclination. In Costa Rica it is found on the Cordillera Central, on the Cordillera de Talamanca and presumably on the Cordillera de Guanacaste.
The tree crown is open, with low vertical ramification. The bark is gray-brown and may exfoliate in small irregular plates. Leaves are compound, pinnate and range from in length. Each leaf has 5 to 9 pairs of leaflets, long and up to wide, light green in colour and glaucous below. Flowering occurs in April and May, being pollinated by insects. The fruit capsules appear June to July and dehisce after drying, releasing 25 to 30 seeds that are easily dispersed by wind.
The species has been named to honour the naturalist Adolphe Tonduz.
