Carpotroche caceresiae is a species of plant in the genus Carpotroche. C. caceresiae has been collected from very wet undisturbed forest on the Caribbean coast of Honduras and Nicaragua, at elevations of up to 600 m (2,000 ft) although it may exist in other areas of Honduras as well as Guatemala.
C. caceresiae is named in memory of Berta Isabel Cáceres, one of 123 environmental activists assassinated between 2009 and 2016 in retaliation for their opposition to environmental destruction and loss of indigenous land in Honduras.
