Doris's lime tree frog (Sphaenorhynchus dorisae) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Scientists think it may also live in Bolivia. Scientists have seen it between 50 and 300 meters above sea level.[1][2][3]

The adult male frog is 26 to 29 mm long from nose to rear end. This frog is green with small white and yellow spots. The iris of the eye is bronze in color.

This frog sits on plants in the water. It stays in pools, large lakes, and flooded places. Scientists have seen it near Pistia plants.
