Astronidium lepidotum is a small tree from the Melastomataceae family, endemic to Fiji and known only from two old collections. It is probably extinct in the wild and is not known to be in cultivation, so there is little practical growing guidance.
Astronidium lepidotum is a species of plant in the family Melastomataceae. It is a small tree endemic to Fiji. It is known from two collections in lowland rain forest on Viti Levu below 200 meters elevation. The forest where it was collected is now gone, and the species hasn't been seen since 1964 and may be extinct.
