Ardisia koupensis is a rare shrub from the Primulaceae family, known only from a few forest sites on Mount Kupe in Cameroon. It is not in cultivation, so care guidance is based on related Ardisia species that grow in shaded tropical understorey.
Ardisia koupensis is a species of plant in the family Primulaceae. It is endemic to Cameroon. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
In 1979 a single specimen of Ardisia koupensis was collected from the western slopes of Mount Kupe, just above Mbule.
