Acridocarpus monodii is a species of plant in the Malpighiaceae family. It is endemic to central Mali, where it is limited to the Bandiagara Escarpment region, in the ecotone of the West Sudanian Savanna and Sahelian Acacia Savanna.
The plants have been collected at the villages of Douentza, Kikara and Djime north of the sandstone escarpment, southwards to the village of Yabatalou where it occurs at highest density. It is associated with underground water sources, especially at the base of the cliffs, and flowers and fruits throughout the dry winter season.
