Miconia revolutifolia is a rare tree from Haiti, specifically in Sud. It is endemic to the Morne Formon-Pic Macaya region of the Massif de la Hotte mountain range. Along with the other species of Miconia from the area it is called "macrio", or "bwa pijon" in Haitian Creole.
The plant was first described as Mecranium revolutum in 1986 after being collected in the Parc National Pic Macaya in the Massif de la Hotte mountains.
The habitat of M. revolutifolia is moist montane broadleaf forest located on rugged mountainous terrain including deep, narrow gorges with steep sides, domes or slopes. Limestone is evident in this area. The species is most abundant between 950 metres (3,120 ft) to 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) elevation, but is found as high as 1,600 metres (5,200 ft).
