Mendoncia puberula is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae (or according to some specialists in the family Mendonciaceae). It is a liana native to tropical South America, ranging from Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador through northern, central, and southern Brazil.
It is a climber with opposite, entire ovate leaves somewhat hairy abaxially, which renders the species its epithet.
