It is a tree and grows primarily in the wet tropical biome.[2] Occurs commonly in mature forest at 1400-1600m in Costa Rica, especially in Monteverde. 5-15m tall subcanopy tree, with doubly compound fern-like leaves. There are tiny extrafloral nectar glands between each pair of leaflets.[3] Cojoba costaricensis does not close its leaves at night in nyctinistic movement like other legumes.
