Medinilla acutialata is a little-studied epiphytic shrub from the montane forests of northwest Vietnam, growing on oak trunks at high altitude. It is not a common cultivated plant, so its care is inferred from other Medinilla species.
Medinilla acutialata is a species of flowering plant in the genus Medinilla of the family Melastomataceae. It was first described by Tamás Pócs and Nguyên Dang Khôi in 1965. It has been found at altitudes of between 1700 and 1800 metres in the Hoàng Liên Sơn mountains in northwest Vietnam, as an epiphyte of Quercus oxyodon.
