''Attilaea abalak'' is a shrub, liana, or small tree, growing up to 12 (–15) meters long with a trunk 4–5 (–10) cm in diameter. It is native to dry and moist lowland forest on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico (Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo) and northern Belize and Guatemala, from sea level to 200 meters elevation.

The species has a small range and population, and is threatened with habitat loss from quarrying of limestone and gypsum, and from increasingly frequent fires.<ref name = iucn/>
