Aspidistra recondita is a little-known perennial herb in the Asparagus family, described from a specimen of A. lurida, and its habitat and distribution are poorly documented. It is not a known houseplant, so care advice here is only general guidance for Aspidistra plants of this type.
Aspidistra recondita is a species of flowering plant. A. recondita takes its name from the Latin reconditus, meaning "hidden", referring to its sexual organs being completely hidden inside its ovoid perigone, with a small opening. Given it was described from an A. lurida specimen, neither its distribution nor habitat are known.
